Recipes Botw Zelda

In this new Hyrule, you’ll have to gain health by cooking a nice meal, hunting and gathering, or brewing up a nice elixir. But, in order to reap the most benefits from your cooking sessions, it’s helpful to have a recipe book to hand.

However, the game doesn’t actually have one to help you out. Luckily for you, we’ve spent hours at the cooking pot working out the various combinations to get you the best dinners. We’ve trawled the rivers, foraged in the forest and killed a lot of critters to work out how to make the best meals and elixirs.

In order to actually cook anything you’ll need to find a cooking pot in the game. There’s one by the Old Man in the Great Plateau, but you’ll also find them at stables, towns and some enemy outposts throughout the game.

Once you’ve found one, you’ll have to go into your inventory and hold any items that you want to combine into a meal. Then back out into the main world and stand by the cooking pot. You’ll be prompted to “tap A to cook”, so just stand back and watch those items bubble into a meal.

You can always check your cooked dish for the recipe in case you want a quick reminder of how you made it too.

There are different types of meals and Elixirs. Spicy ones will protect you from the cold, mighty ones will give you extra attack strength and energising ones will restore your stamina, for example. Just remember that you can only have one effect active at any one time, meaning if you eat a spicy meal straight after a mighty one, you’ll lose that attack bonus.

So when cooking remember not to mix in a stamella shroom with an endura shroom, because you’ll utilise neither of their stat boosting effects. Instead, mix several elements with the same boost type for maximum effect. For example, a stamella mushroom + staminoka bass = energising steamed fish dish with a stamina and health boost combo.

If you don’t accidentally follow a recipe, you’ll end up with what’s known as “dubious food”. It’ll still give you one heart, but Link won’t like it.

If you’re looking for an item to boost a specific element of Link’s attributes, the best way to do this is to create an Elixir. While a meal will boost both your health and your stats, Elixir will either do one or the other.

Here’s a list of all the Elixirs you can make and the ingredients you’ll need to make them, but they’re basically monster parts + a critter of some kind.

Recipes to unlock in the game, all giving you a variety of health-boosting effects. If you add in items with matching stat boosting effects, as we’ve outlined before, you will add a prefix to these meals for additional effects.

Breath Of The Wild Cooking Recipe Guide

. But it's also tough. One pro tip is learning how to cook in the game — and learning some of the best, most powerful recipes — with all of the ingredients the game gives you.

When the monsters aren't trying — and succeeding, often! — to kill you, the elements remain persistent. Breath of the Wild is the kind of game where you could die from exposure.

This combination of mushrooms and spicy peppers gives Link five hearts and enables him to resist freezing temperatures for nearly 10 minutes. Useful! Nintendo

Just like the game's massive open world, there are near endless options for cooking in Breath of the Wild. Some meals imbue Link with bonuses he'll need to survive. Trying to reach that shrine, but the region is too cold for Link to handle? Cook up spicy peppers to grant Link with low-level cold resistance.

But that's just scratching the surface. There are countless dangers in Hyrule to overcome. So we're channeling our inner Julia Child: We've put together the 10 most important recipes for survival, whether you're trying to beat a tough boss or survive in a lightning storm.

Before you learn any useful recipes, you need to know how to cook: Find a fire with a cooking pot over it! These are all over the place, but you can find them most readily in towns or in moblin camps.

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Of note: I found this cooking pot over a stack of wood, unlit. But don't despair if you find as much. By selecting a flint from your inventory, choosing to hold it, and then dropping it under the fire, you can restart the fire for cooking. After placing the flint, strike it with any metal weapon — like an ax or a sword — to start a fire.

Voila! This mix of banana and mushroom sounds gross, but it repairs two hearts. Not a lot of help, but it's something. Even the most unexciting combinations can be helpful in a pinch.

Rather than cooking up questionable concoctions of mushroom and banana, here are 10 tremendously useful recipes to become the best Chef of the Wild.

Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Whether you have one or 50, apples — and other basic fruits you find all over Hyrule — are far more useful when cooked. Early on, you're going to find a ton of apples. And because you have just three hearts, it's tempting to eat them piecemeal, uncooked; they replenish half a heart apiece. When cooked, they double in usefulness. When cooked in bunches, they become even more restorative.

The cooking pot. If you find a lit fire, just dump your apples on top and pick up the baked apples it produces. You'll learn quickly that the cooking system in Hyrule is far more forgiving than real life.

Hyrule is a wildly diverse ecosystem. There are freezing mountain ridges and scorching hot deserts that dip to freezing temperatures at night. There's an alluvial plain where lightning and rain never stops. It's quite a place!

One of the first missions you're tasked with in Breath of the Wild, before the game's massive open world is open to you, is reaching a shrine in an area that's simply too cold for Link to go. He starts freezing to death quickly, and it's solved only by constantly restoring lost health or, as luck would have it, by cooking a meal with hot peppers. You can simply simmer one directly in a cooking pot, or you can cook it with other ingredients.

8. Similarly, if you're trying to survive during a thunderstorm, some electricity resistance will help you out. Turn to the combination of volt fruit and meat.

You'll find volt fruit in tropical locations, same as durian. You can get raw meat from hunting any of the land-based animals in Hyrule. Nintendo

The combination of volt fruit and raw meat turns out an Electro Meat Skewer. Eating it gives you resistance to electricity for a limited time. If you're in a pinch, fighting electric enemies or in a dangerous area full of loose wires, this skewer is the one to turn to. It'll also repair some health, naturally.

To create the Chilly Salt-Grilled Prime Meat dish, I cooked rock salt, raw prime meat, and cool safflina— a flower found all over Hyrule. Not only does this give Link a bunch of health, but it enables low-level heat resistance. If you're venturing into the Gerudo Desert or to Death Mountain, you'll need to have some of these handy.

6. Much of our recipe list thus far has focused on how to survive the elements. But what about a particularly difficult enemy? For starters, you'll want to increase how powerful you are. And to do that, you'll want to cook Mighty Bananas with other ingredients.

In this instance, I cooked bananas with mushrooms. Sounds gross! But it turned out a dish that gave Link four hearts and boosted his attack ability for a limited time. And you'll need that ability boosted as often as possible — you're just as likely to be killed by a common enemy as you are by a boss enemy. Hyrule is a tough place to survive.

5. You're not limited to creating food items in Breath of the Wild. You could just as easily mix together some monster parts and create an elixir that saves your hide.

Perhaps you need to escape somewhere quickly? Or maybe you just want to skip over a long mountain climb more quickly? The Hasty Elixir, created by combining a Keese wing (the bats) and a hot-footed frog, will help you out. Keese are found everywhere, especially at night — defeat one (or several) and pick up the wings they leave behind. Hot-footed frogs are harder to find, though you're likely to spot them in
