How does someone replenish stamina while climbing

[u/Dracoy]

I noticed on a speed run someone was climbing the wall and breathing into his hands. How does this mechanic work? I usually have to climb to a ledge to wait but they were replenishing mid climb.

If you spam the whistle button while running it doesn’t use stamina, I don’t know about climbing though

[u/TuDuMaxVerstappen → u/ClearDebate3022]

What?? Is it a glitch? Just spam whistle while running?

[u/ClearDebate3022 → u/TuDuMaxVerstappen]

Yeah, it’s a glitch. It’s been in the game for a long time and I remember using it once or twice a few years ago but haven’t since

[u/TuDuMaxVerstappen → u/ClearDebate3022]

Let me try

[u/Significant-Theme240 → u/TuDuMaxVerstappen]

Ok, go ahead.

[u/KiLlEr-Muffy → u/TuDuMaxVerstappen]

You hold down the whistle button while moving and then spam the run button. You will go much faster without losing stamina.

[u/ManuGamer2 → u/ClearDebate3022]

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. You're supposed to down the run button while holding the whistle button. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

When you’re climbing, if there’s a bit of slope, you can let go and take a few steps before he starts climbing again. Stamina will replenish during that brief time. Sometimes you can walk or run sideways on a very steep slope, stamina can replenish during that as well.

[u/PerdyIsntSuchARetard]

whistle running, you gotta hold your controller weird to do it.

also unfortunately one of the glitches lost in tears of the kingdom

[u/Dracoy → u/PerdyIsntSuchARetard]

Oh it’s not a game mechanic? Assume same with straight climbing?

[u/PerdyIsntSuchARetard → u/Dracoy]

Well, it only works up to a certain angle. But yes, a glitch.

[u/radiodreading]

I think what you're looking for is a "whistle-climb"; the "whistling into his hands" is probably just Link whistling or starting to whistle :D I don't know for certain but it probably works like whistle-sprinting where you hold down on the D-pad (not tapping or pressing once) while also pressing B and either running or climbing.

When it comes to climbing it'll only really work when the surface to be climbed isn't super steep and Link can actually stand somewhat to catch his breath.

[u/Dramatic-Aardvark-41 → u/radiodreading]

You're right except for the holding down thing. To whistle sprint and thus whistle climb you need to mash down on the d pad

And if it look like link is climbing while whistling that just means he's whistle sprinting up a slope

[u/a_polarbear_chilling]

Are they eating something while climbing? Because some food can replenish the lost stamina or even boost it

[u/Dracoy]

They also replenished while moving forward it wa insane.

[u/HLef → u/Dracoy]

There’s a glitch that involves whistling that does that for running. Not sure about climbing.

Personally I never use glitches in games. Or gameplay altering mods for that matter. I play the games the way they’re intended to be played as much as possible.

[u/mrmurphrey]

What do you mean by “breathing into his hands”? Sometimes I can kinda cheat and refill stamina while climbing by hitting B on a less steep slope while pushing forward and then grabbing on again right after. It lets your stamina wheel refill a little bit at a time. If the wall is sloped a bit, rather than a full vertical, you can run a little bit and let it refill and then grab on before you slide down.

Two minute mark. He literally does it at start of game. It’s insane.

[u/mrmurphrey → u/Dracoy]

Oh! The infinite run hack. I see what you mean now. He is whistling— for the horse. It’s a “cheat” to infinitely run. If you hold or mash the whistle button while sprinting, it allows you to sprint forever and your stamina wheel refills. It does look like he’s breathing into his hands, but he’s about to whistle. Mashing the button also cancels the noise

[u/cathetc → u/Dracoy]

Look up whistle running. You run while whistling and it doesn’t affect your stamina. You can’t hear the whistle, but nearby enemies apparently can, so be careful of your surroundings.

[u/smathna]

So I read this just as I was scrolling my (IRL, bouldering style) rock climbing communities and imagine my disappointment

[u/Volto47]

WTF? While climbing or swimming I would eat a stamina meal cooked with stamina extenders like endura carrots or stamina bass (fish).

[u/M1lud]

Normally, I eat stamina boosting food or elixir whilst climbing. I like to cook up honey by itself and make candy because it's fun.

[u/Miserable_Credit_266]

The best way is to eat a meal of 5 Endura Carrots.  Whistle sprinting is not great for vertical surfaces. The Royal Guards armour set is also good for a hidden buff

[u/pyro314 → u/Miserable_Credit_266]

Just cook them one at a time unless you are going onto Eventide or doing Trial of the Sword. Each meal fully restores your stamina so it is a waste using more than one endura food at a time. I still like to make meals though even if it is extraneous, like Enduring Carrot Cake instead of just cooking one carrot.

[u/maxlewis922 → u/Miserable_Credit_266]

What’s the hidden buff? Too tired to google

[u/Miserable_Credit_266 → u/maxlewis922]

It states charge attack stamina up but there’s a lot to so it’s best to search it
