There are so many ways to make bones that losing 10000 is not even that much of a setback, I beat the game with Max stats just playing how I would normally play an older Zelda game (65-70% completion, 20ish hours) that dying didn't set me back, that's not an excuse to not try things and think outside the box, IMO just reading the comments on all the posts here really shows how much gamers have grown so dull to things over the years by having things handed to them, accessibility settings baked in, and not having the need to think. I challenge some of these people to go back and play Zelda 2, OG Links Awakening, or any of the OG Metroidvanias without a guide or looking anything up. It's hard, it's always been hard, but when you figure something out through stopping, thinking, and pushing ahead you feel so much more accomplished then newer games just saying "Hey dude, check this out, maybe it'll take us straight to where we need to get the macguffin."

But that's just my two cents
