How to Cook Food

How to Cook Recipes
Cook food in a cooking pot Roast food in open fire Cook food by freezing Make Elixirs with Monster Parts

Cooked Dishes are Made on a Cooking Pot

TOTK - Cooking Pot

The best way to cook food is by placing them in a Cooking Pot, as it unlocks more buffs and added health recovery from the ingredients used. These buffs also depend on the type and amount of ingredients used.

Cooking pots are commonly found in stables and villages, but Link can now carry a Portable Pot that can be carried and used while on the go. All types of cooking pots can't be used when it's raining.

Roasted Dishes are Made With Exposure to Fire

Legend of Zelda BOTW Campfire

You can roast food by placing it near fire, dropping it in burning hot locations such as Eldin, or by using a fire weapon.

It won't provide the same effects as using a cooking pot, but it is still better than eating ingredients raw.

Frozen Dishes are Made With Exposure to the Cold

TOTK - Frozen Dishes
Similarly, you can also cook meat and fish by freezing them! Do this by going to an icy region like the Hebra and Gerudo Highlands region, then drop your food on the ground and wait for it to freeze.

Alternatively, you can use an ice weapon on your desired ingredient to freeze it. All Frozen Dishes provide a short duration of Heat Resistance buff due to its cooling effect.

Elixirs are Made with Small Critters and Monster Parts

Elixirs are potions that grant status effects and are made by combining small critters with a monster part in a Cooking Pot.

Stick to this combination of ingredients to make an Elixir, as adding ingredients other than small animals and monster parts will result to dubious food.

Tips for Cooking Food

Tips for Cooking
Select Ingredients Manually or by Recipe Use Ingredients That Provide Buffs Increase Buff Level with Multiple Ingredients Link Can Hold 60 Dishes Achieving a Critical Success

Select Ingredients Manually or by Recipe

TOTK - Selecting Ingredients for Cooking

You can now select ingredients from the Materials Inventory either manually or by recipe. To manually select an ingredient, simply clicking on the ingredients you want to use and then choose the Hold button on each one just as it was done in Breath of the Wild.

Select Ingredients by Recipe

To select ingredients automatically by recipe, select an ingredient and then choose the Select for Recipe button. This opens up a new window with recipes you have previously created using the ingredient.

Select the recipe you want to make and Link will automatically hold all the ingredients needed.

Use Ingredients That Provide Buffs

TOTK - Status Effects and Buffs in Recipes

You can add status effects to your cooked dishes and elixirs by using ingredients that give buffs. In a recipe, substitute possible ingredients with different alternate types to get the effect that you need.

List of Status Effects
Hearty - Grants max health and temporary hearts Enduring - Grants max and temporary stamina Energizing - Restores a portion of the Stamina Wheel Sunny - Cures Gloom damage Warding - Increases Gloom resistance Bright - Grants Glow effects Mighty - Increases attack power Tough - Increases defense Hasty - Boosts movement speed Sneaky - Increases stealth and silences footsteps Sticky - Increases slip resistance Rapid - Increases swimming speed Spicy - Increases resistance to the cold Chilly - Increases resistance to desert heat Electro - Increases resistance to lightning Fireproof - Increases resistance to fiery heat Biting - Increases attack power in cold weather Scorching - Increases attack power in hot weather Stormy - Increases attack power in stormy weather

List of Status Effects

Advanced Cooking Guide:
Adding Buffs and Bonuses to Dishes

Increase Buff Level with Multiple Ingredients

Increase the level of potency of the dishes that you cook by combining two ingredients that provide the same buff. For elixirs, you can add a non-critter ingredient to strengthen the effect, but be sure to at least have one Critter and one Monster Part.

Do not combine two different ingredients that provide two different buffs because they will just cancel each other out, leaving you with a dish with no buffs. You can also extend an elixir's effect duration by adding more Monster Parts.

Link Can Hold 60 Dishes

You can hold up to 60 total dishes in your inventory, and this includes elixirs as well. Feel free to cook dishes that can serve for all kinds of situation,s from heart-replenishing dishes to attack-increasing dishes.

Achieving a Critical Success

Triggering a critical success when cooking dishes will grant you one of the five bonuses listed in the table below. You can guarantee a critical success by cooking between 11:30 PM and 12:15 AM during a blood moon, or by adding a Golden Apple, a dragon part, or Star Fragment.

List of Bonuses
+1 Yellow Heart
+3 Hearts Restored
+2/5 Ring of Stamina
+1 Effect Level
+5 Minutes of Duration
