Shrine Location

If you follow the Old Man at the beginning, he will guide you to the Oman Au Shrine. From there, he will introduce you to other shrines, so it's best to start by exploring the ones nearby. Since Cold Resistance is necessary at some point, so don't forget to obtain the Warm Doublet.

You Can't Leave The Great Plateau Without The Paraglider

Without the Paraglider, you can't leave the Great Plateau.

Stamina Wheel Is Required

When the Paraglider is used, it consumes the Stamina Wheel and if the gauge reaches zero, the Paraglider can no longer be used and the player will fall. When the gauge is low, it is recommended to close the Paraglider using the B button for a while and then reopen it with the X button to conserve Stamina.

It is possible to ride the air current.

In some maps, there are places where wind blows out from the ground. You can glide up quickly if you use the Paraglider after jumping in such places.
