FWIW depending on your playstyle upgrading armor isn't that much of a chore, by the time I got around to upgrading I generally had the resources (aside from rupees) to upgrade some items. My only complaint really is that the "early game" version of enemies are rare to come by now, so stuff like "frox fangs" are none existant for me since I keep finding obsidian frox :/ (same with blue moblin and construct 1 captains)
Imagine having all the shrines and light things lit up and still only ever encountered 2 normal Frox in my entire playthrough lmao.
