In the world of Hyrule in “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” Link needs to cook in order to survive. Here, we learn the best and tastiest recipes you can make in the game. Unleash the chef in you!
First, An Overview Of Cooking In ‘Breath Of The Wild’
Cooking is a brand-new mechanic in the “Breath of the Wild” title in “The Legend of Zelda” series. By mixing animal parts, monster parts, herbs, mushrooms, gems, and other ingredients in Link’s post, he can create meals and potions to help him defeat Calamity Ganon.
To cook, you must first look for a cooking station in Hyrule. But don’t worry because there are various stony fires around in the game’s world. You can use up to five ingredients when cooking new recipes in “Breath of the Wild,” and these dishes also provide several perks.
Some Of The Best And Tastiest Recipes In The Game + Their Ingredients
Now, let’s get to know some of these tasty recipes.
1. Sneaky Fried Wild Greens
Ingredients:
- Silent Princess
- Fairy
- Shard of Farosh’s Horn
Many adventures and battles with formidable enemies in “Breath of the Wild” can decimate your health. These Sneaky Fried Wild Greens shall restore nearly 23 Hearts while also providing Link with a high-level stealth upgrade for half an hour. Exactly what you need when confronting opponents.
You can find Silent Princesses on the hills that overlook Kakariko Village, near most Fairy Fountains, and around the Master Sword’s pedestal. Meanwhile, you can easily catch Fairies at Fairy Mountains, while Farosh’s Horn can be farmed at Lake Hylia or Lake Floria.
2. Hearty Steamed Meat
Ingredients:
- Big Hearty Radish
- Raw Prime Meat
Link is also a lover of protein-y dishes. So, you should make sure he can cook this Hearty Steamed Meat dish.
Some recipes in the game are easy to make, while others require more effort, such as this dish. But does it really matter if you can get Yellow Hearts once it is consumed? Aside from fully recovering Link’s health, it also provides him with 20 temporary Heart Containers, more than enough to accomplish the game’s most demanding challenges.
For the ingredients, you can find the Big Hearty Radishes in the Akkla Highlands and around Wetland Stables. Meanwhile, Raw Prime Meat reliably drops from Tabantha Moose, Grizzlemaw or Honeyvore Bears, Mountain Doe and Bucks, and Red-Tusked Boars, among others.
3. Hasty Simmered Fruit
Ingredients:
- Fleet Lotus Seeds
- Shard of any Dragon’s Horn
Aside from meat recipes, you can also turn fruits into amazing dishes. This Hasty Simmered Fruit dish is specifically helpful when you need Link to run faster when accomplishing particular challenges. It gives him the highest-tier speed boost for half an hour, aside from restoring seven of his Hearts.
Find your Fleet Lotus Seeds around Rutile Lake, while you must get the Dragon’s Horn Shard from Farosh. But, the latter also emerges from Riola Spring in the Faron region.
4. Electro Fish Skewer
Ingredients:
- Voltfin Trout
- Fairy
- Shard of any Dragon’s Horn
In the real world, fish is very good for the heart. In this game, too, actually. This Electro Fish Skewer dish, to prove to you, heals a whopping 27 and three-quarters Hearts, not to mention how it can provide Electricity resistance for 30 minutes. Perfect when you need to explore areas.
You can catch the Voltfin Trout in the Zora River and Totori Lake. Meanwhile, you can find Fairies just roaming around the Great Fairy Mountains. But remember, you need to take great caution with your movement if you want to succeed in catching them. You can hunt Farosh, Naydra, and Dinraal for the last ingredient.
The Best Of The Best: Hearty Fried Wild Greens
Despite the enumeration of those tasty recipes, we still haven’t gotten to the most delicious of them all. Many “Breath of the Wild” players will agree that the bests of the best are the Hearty Fried Wild Greens.
Ingredient:
- Big Hearty Radish
There are many recipes in the game that can completely restore your health and provide you with Hearts, but none of them is as powerful – and simple, at that – as these Hearty Fried Wild Greens. For one, you only need to look for one ingredient, and you’ll be able to completely recover your health and get not just simply Hearts but 25 Yellow Hearts.
Once you unlock the Sheikah Sensor + from the Slated For Upgrades side quest, you should go ahead and search for Big Hearty Radishes. Be sure to stock up on them as much as you can. Find them in forests and grassy areas. Then, you can create the best recipe in “Breath of the Wild.”
Other great recipes to make in the game are the Chilly Fruit And Mushroom Mix, Fireproof Elixir (yes, it’s considered a dish here), Hearty Veggie Rice Balls, Enduring Steamed Mushrooms, Energizing Honey Candy, and so much more.
Wrapping Up
By now, you are already guided on some of the best recipes Link needs to prepare so he can consume dishes for restoring his health and other purposes, too. As a gamer, you may not be able to actually taste them, sadly, but isn’t it great that you’re able to show off your cooking skills?
