Stamina Wheel

The Stamina Wheel, also known as the Stamina Gauge, measures Link's stamina in Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild. It is depleted by doing strenuous activities such as running, climbing, and pushing boulders.

Appearances

Skyward Sword

Link can refill his stamina gauge by running over Stamina Fruits or drinking a Stamina Potion.

Breath of the Wild

Link can cook "Energizing" Meals and Elixirs to recover different amounts of stamina. There are also "Enduring" Meals and Elixirs that extend the Stamina Wheel with extra, yellow stamina which does not return after being depleted. The green stamina wheel can be increased by 1/5 by exchanging four Spirit Orbs for a Stamina Vessel at a Goddess Statue. A maximum of three full green rings (1 base, 2 extra), plus two yellow rings can be held. This means ten Vessels (from forty Orbs) in total for the extra two green rings. If the player chooses full hearts (30 total, 27 acquired), there will be only enough vessels for 1.4 extra green rings (1.6 with The Champions' Ballad DLC); whereas full stamina will limit the player to a maximum of 27 permanent hearts (28 with DLC).

Link can exchange between Stamina Vessels and Heart Containers at the Horned Statue in Hateno Village at a total cost of 20 rupees, after the statue pays 100 rupees to take a vessel and charges 120 rupees to give it back. The first exchange does not cost rupees, but every exchange henceforth comes at a charge.
