Speed Boost Recipes

Cooking is an essential survival skill in Tears of the Kingdom. Players must learn several recipes for health, armor, attack, or defense boosts to survive and continue their adventure in the Hyrule world.

There is no existing cookbook in the game, so the players will have to learn new recipes on their own. Once the players have cooked a new recipe for the first time, it will be saved in their recipe book, which they can check back later whenever needed.

How To Cook

Tears Of The Kingdom Split Image Fruit and Mushroom Mix Cooked With Link about to cook

Players can cook their desired recipe in Tears of the Kingdom in two different ways. Either they can roast food over a fire or cook in a pot.

Roasting food on fire is an easy way of cooking food. You have to equip the ingredients and drop them in a fire. Wait for some time, and your recipe will be cooked. However, not all recipes can be cooked by roasting. This method suits beginners, but you will need a cooking pot as you progress through the game.

The cooking pot is precisely how it sounds. You place it above the fire and put your ingredients in it to cook them. To select the ingredients and put them into the cooking pot, open your inventory and press ‘A.’ From there, choose ‘Hold.’ Hold all the necessary ingredients simultaneously and put them in the cooking pot. You can also use the portable cooking pot, but it's for one-time use only.

You can find the cooking pots in several parts of Hyrule. However, you are guaranteed to find a cooking pot in the stables throughout the map.

Types Of Recipes

Link preparing Elixir in Tears of the Kingdom

In Tears of the Kingdom, four types of recipes are present:

Cooked Recipes: These are the most common types of recipes. They are commonly cooked in a cooking pot by mixing several ingredients together. Based on the types of ingredients used, these recipes can provide different types of buffs.
Roasted Recipes: These recipes don't require cooking pots and can be directly cooked by throwing them into the fire. However, they provide lesser buff compared to cooked recipes.
Frozen Recipes: Frozen recipes commonly provide cold resistance to the players and have to be cooked in cooking pots.
Elixir Recipes: Elixir recipes are a bit harder to produce but also provide huge buffs. These recipes must be cooked with ingredients like monster parts or extracts.
