Cooking in Zelda: Breath of the Wild is about a lot more than replenishing health.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has done away with finding hearts to replenish health. Instead you’re going to have to cook in order to stay strong, as well as create elixirs and other benefits.
You’ll find plenty of ingredients all around Hyrule, which you can stash in your pouch. From the menu highlight the items you want and drop them into a cooking pot. Now light the stove and the magic will happen.
It’s also worth noting that you can cook by setting fire to the environment, but you can’t cook anything too extravagant. This should only really be done in emergencies where you might need to cook raw meat to get your health back up.
You can cook between 1 and 5 items together in a pot and hold up to 60 meals and/or elixirs at any one time.
Cooking recipies, star fragment, Blood Moon and dragon part bonuses
Beyond cooking simple foods to restore health, different foods and items create useful buffs. You’ll need to experiment to see what you can make and how that boosts Link; A truffle, for example, will temporarily increase your maximum hearts, or creating a Chilly elixir will make you resistant to heat for a short period of time.
When you use an ingredient that contains a buff, it will have a prefix; Chilly, Energizing, Enduring, Electro, Fireproof, Hasty, Hearty, Mighty, Sneaky, Spicy and Tough.
You can’t combine these separate buffs, so no meal will be Hearty and Spicy. But you can combine the same ingredient to stack the buff, so throwing two chillies into a pot for a Spicy meal will make your resistance to cold longer lasting.
This is what each buff does:
- Chilly – Resistance to heat
- Energizing – Restores stamina
- Enduring – Extra stamina
- Electro – Resistance to shock
- Fireproof – Flame Guard
- Hasty – Increases movement speed
- Hearty – Restores full health
- Mighty – buffs Attack
- Sneaky – buffs Stealth
- Spicy – Resistance to cold
- Tough – buffs Defence
On top of these buffs, when cooking you may also hear a special sound. When this happens you will receive an extra bonus at random. These are:
- Extra yellow heart
- Three extra hearts
- Buff increase by a further 5 minutes
- Buff increased by +1
- Stamina increases
You can actually guarantee these bonuses by using particular items or cooking during a certain time.
Cooking during a Blood Moon, when the moon is red and enemies respawn, will give you a random bonus. As will using a star fragment or dragon body part in your recipe.
