Hero Mode: Difference between revisions

Hero Mode in ''Skyward Sword'' is available once the player finishes the game. After viewing the credits, they are given the option to restart their current file as a Hero Mode file, which, if selected, returns them to the beginning of the game in the more challenging mode. All of Link's [[treasure]]s and [[bugs]] from the previous save state remain. Hero Mode makes things more difficult by removing [[Recovery Heart]]s, whether in the form of heart flowers or those found in pots and bushes. The only way to make hearts spawn is by using the [[Heart Medal]]. Instead, [[Link]] must rely on [[potion]]s and chairs to heal. Furthermore, all the enemies in Hero Mode deal twice as much damage as they would in normal mode. [[Skyward Strike]]s also charge much faster in Hero Mode. The [[Goddess Sword]] charges them at the same rate as the [[True Master Sword]] in the normal game, and when Link obtains the True Master Sword in Hero Mode, it charges Skyward Strike instantly.{{Ref|SS|325|In-game description}}
