Skyward Sword Advice for Hero Mode

To save on potion use, remember that you can sit on the tree stumps or other chairs to replenish health.

I can't find any, otherwise I would =/

There's normally one near a dungeon, and if not go to skyloft and sit on the bench in the bazaar area.

Maybe it varies with gameplay. Cause I remember being able to find them right outside the dungeon boss, or in maybe 3 or 4 places in my first play through.

Use the Skyward Strike. It can kill an army of Bokoblins. But from where you're at, you haven't reached the true potential for the Skyward Strikes. So they just stun. The enemy will be knocked down and that's your chance for a fatal blow. If you have treasures, sell them to Rupin (the guy in the Bazaar who sells shields, ammo, pouches, and stuff like that). Good luck.

if he's on hero mode then the sky strike is fully powered it kill weaker bokoblins like i would cut a pie, with ease, i gotta say though that if you really get stuck dungeon wise (mining facility comes to mind) do the dungeon in bitsize pieces guage how much of chance you have to do something and if you can't just go out then come back in when your ready to it's why theres loads of shortcuts in dungeons now.

Spend some time sharpening your skills, you will die without skills... I also suggest doing a six heart run for extra awesomeness and lady attracting!

This pretty much goes with any playthrough of a Zelda game, but make sure u have life insurance: never leave without a fairy. If thats too obvious, then I prefer carrying a Guardian Potion+ (the light pink color one). That saved me from having a game over alot.

You can sell treasures to Rupin (the guy who upgrades your items and repairs your shields) in his house at night.

Rupin is the guy who lets you buy shields and bombags and all the other stuffs.

I have a new question, didn't want to start a new thread cause it's pertaining to this in a way.

I'm spending so many rupees on potions, that I don't have enough to purchase things from Beedle's Shop. What could potentially be a way to collect as many rupees as possible? Besides the mini games? Seems as though I do more losing in the mini games, or I tried the Bamboo Chop game and am only getting treasures =/

Ive gotten hundreds of Rupees by starting at the Forest Temple (bird statue), killing all the grass there, and catching bugs (to sell), then going all through the woods leaving no grass uncut, and no bug uncaught. Skyward Striking it speeds things up a lot. Also, in the Lanayru region (particularly Lanayru Gorge, when you get there) when you change time, the grass in the past isn't cut if you cut the future grass, so you can get double. And dont forget the Cursed Medal/Rupee medal if you don't intend to need your shield.
