One pro-tip I can give you is hoard as many fairies as you can. Cut grass (doesn't matter which type) until you find them and add them to your inventory. Under normal circumstances you can only have up to 3, but if you have unlocked a fairy fountain you can have 6. For this, you have to gather 2 fairies from grass and then you have to collect the 4 fairies sorrounding the fountain. You can only do it like this, if you collect the fairies from the fountain first the ones from the grass won't pop up, and if you collect 3 from grasses there'll be no fairies at the fountain.
In the end, the fairies allow you to be revived up to 6 times.
Also, if you could bother buying amiibo cards, either by making them yourself or getting them off from someone, it could be worth it because amiibo tend to spam elemental arrows, which are easily some of the best items in the game. I don't recommend it because it's another investment and more effort, but it does make the game easier and more enjoyable because it skips you from the poor equipment that mobs usually drop.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
