The Best List Of Recipes and Elixirs For Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Anybody that has played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for even half an hour would know that cooking is almost an essential part of the game. In order to survive the cold, you’ll need to cook to outlast it. In order to survive electricity, you’ll need to create an elixir to counter it.

Throughout completing side missions and speaking to people in villages, you’ll learn recipes that will help you in your quest, but we’re here to give you the best list of recipes for playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

You can cook at any pot which are placed throughout the world of Breath of the Wild. You can also use wood and a flint to create a temporary remote cooking station.

To keep it simple, there’s two ways to go about creating a cook meal.

  • Cooking food that provides a heart = More hearts
  • Mixing critters with monster parts = Elixir
