When Link's stamina is depleted, Link will become tired and his movement will be slowed down dramatically for a few seconds until it replenishes. During this time, Link will also be unable to use items, including his [[sword]] and [[shield]], leaving him defenseless against enemies. The Stamina Meter replenishes over time once Link stops performing strenuous actions, and it replenishes faster by standing still than by walking.<ref>[http://www.zeldainformer.com/16-skyward-sword/everything-we-know-about-skyward-sword.html#IIIb Zelda Informer - Everything We Know About Skyward Sword; retrieved Oct. 14 2011]</ref> | When Link's stamina is depleted, Link will become tired and his movement will be slowed down dramatically for a few seconds until it replenishes.

Link's Stamina gauge, upon reaching its last 1/4th, wil drain at half speed for continuous actions such as running and climbing, but actions that drain Link's bar in portions (such as spin attacks and rolls) will have no change in the amount they drain. Because the stamina meter refills at a constant rate regardless of this, it is a common speedrunning tactic to allow the meter to refill up to 1/4th before running again, as this effectively doubles the refill rate. | |||
If Link buys a [[Stamina Potion]] in the [[Bazaar]], he may half the rate that his Stamina Guage depletes for three minutes, or, if it is [[upgrade]]d, the Stamina Gauge will not decrease at all for three minutes. | If Link buys a [[Stamina Potion]] in the [[Bazaar]], he may half the rate that his Stamina Guage depletes for three minutes, or, if it is [[upgrade]]d, the Stamina Gauge will not decrease at all for three minutes. | ||
==Trivia== | |||
*Even if Link does not have the required stamina for a roll or spin attack, he can still perform one, making for perfect last minute bursts of speed as the stamina metter runs out before reaching something such as a [[Stamina Fruit]] to refill the meter. | |||
*The stamina meter is near identical in execution to the game's [[Oxygen]] or "Air Meter". | |||
*While on [[Skipper|Skipper's]] boat, sailing the [[Lanayru Sand Sea]], the motor's constraints appear identical to the Stamina gauge, though it is shown in the shape of a boat's steering wheel. However, it acts exactly the same, the only difference being that the boat's motor depletes half as quickly as Link's stamina meter (and therefore depletes at a quarter of the speed when it reaches its last 1/4th of energy). The only difference is that Skipper's boat does not have any available actions that lower its meter in portions. | |||
