Best Stamina Recipes Breath Of The Wild

As you explore the vast world of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you’ll find that Link’s health and stamina often deplete pretty quickly. The Hero of Hyrule can lose health from fighting the many monsters around the open world, while swimming, sprinting, gliding, climbing and many other activities will drain Link’s stamina wheel. Fortunately, if you have the right ingredients, you can cook a tasty meal to restore your health and stamina right away!

While it may not be quite as elaborate as the “stick any items together” power revealed in the upcoming sequel Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild features a robust cooking system with tons of tasty (and not-so-tasty) recipes Link can make. Link can cook at any of the cooking pots scattered around the games world – most towns and enemy camps will have one! This guide covers a a few of the best recipes that can be used to restore stamina and health in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild!

In general, when cooking health-restoring recipes, you want to look for ingredients with Hearty in the name. One easy-to-find Hearty item is the Hearty Durian, which can be harvested from trees all around the Faron region. Combining five of these in one cooking pot will result in Hearty Simmered Fruit, which fully restores your health and provides up to 20 bonus hearts above your maximum. Even a single Hearty Durian can give you a full health restore, so make sure to keep several of these in your inventory at all times!

If you are looking to increase the number of stamina wheels you have above your maximum, search out ingredients referred to as Enduring. The best of these is the Endura Carrot, which provides 2/5 of a bonus stamina wheel. Endura Carrots can be found near Great Fairy Fountains as well as at the peak of Satori Mountain. Combining five of them creates Enduring Fried Wild Greens, which grants you two additional stamina wheels. This dish will be a necessity if you plan to scale some of Hyrule’s highest peaks!

While a Seared Gourmet Steak restores only four and a half hearts, it has one major advantage: this dish can be cooked over an open Fire. This means that you can make one anywhere without having to find a cooking pot. Simply light some wood on fire by striking a metal weapon against flint or detonating a bomb near the stacked wood. A Seared Gourmet Steak is made from a single piece of Raw Gourmet Meat, which is dropped by foxes, wolves, coyote, bears, rhinoceroses, and water buffalo.

Energizing ingredients refill your depleted stamina wheels, but do not provide you with any bonus wheels. Still, these are valuable dishes to make, especially as the ingredients tend to be more common than their Enduring counterparts. One easy-to-find item is Courser Bee Honey, which is found in beehives hanging from trees throughout Hyrule. To safely harvest the honey, build a fire under the nest to smoke the bees out, or knock the hive down and defeat the ensuing swarm using arrows or bombs. Five Courser Bee Honey combine to make Energizing Honey Candy, which can fully restore three stamina wheels.

Catching fish in video games usually involves a complex mini-game. Not so in Breath of the Wild, where Link can simply reach down into the water and grab a fish with his bare hands when one swims by. One particularly useful fish is the Staminoka Bass, which can be found in the rivers and lakes of Hyrule Field and the West Necluda region. Simply cooking a Staminoka Bass on its own will result in an Energizing Fish Skewer, which restores

Hearts and a portion of Link’s Stamina Wheel, although using three Bass at once is recommended. You can add a little flavor (and additional bonus effects!) to this dish by adding other stamina-boosting ingredients such as Stamella Shrooms.

These are just a few of the recipes that Link can cook in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. What are your favorite recipes in the game?

Because, well, let’s face it, it’s not in the old games and new things suck. But undeniably they offer some perks that are just too good to ignore. With elixirs and meals you can combat stamina depletion, speed up Link’s movements, and add heart containers as a damage buffer. You can also use them to combat heat and cold, among the most dangerous enemies in Hyrule. It’s worth it to stop for a few seconds and throw a few ingredients together, especially if it means exploring an area long before you have the proper gear to do so.

First things first: gathering ingredients. For the most part you can find them out in the wild by spamming the A button while you roam the fields. Some items can be purchased, like milk and rice, and used for a complete meal. Others, like most fruits, can be cooked alone to achieve their maximum benefit. Meals are made of combinations of food, while elixirs are made with a combination of one monster part to up to four critters (which include frogs, bugs, and lizards, but not snails). Items are often found in areas that reflect their effect; for example, butterflies that can be used in warming elixirs can be found on Death Mountain, and dragonflies that can help cool Link off are in snowy areas, like on Lanayru Mountain. Some can only be found under certain conditions, the Hot Footed Frog, which only comes out in the rain. Fish can be a little tricky to catch, since they have an easy escape route, but if you throw bait into the water, it should help. Try matching the effect of the bait with the effect of the fish: a Mighty Bass, for instance, can be lured with Mighty Bananas. Select them from your menu, press Hold, exit the menu, then drop into the water. The fish will come nearer. Early on in the game you will get an upgrade to your Sheikah Slate that will also allow you to build the Hyrule Compendium, a library of photo captures that can be used to identify and track almost any item in the game, including ingredients. This will help immensely.

Each ingredient will list its basic effect. Stacking them with other items with the same effect will increase the modifier boost, but if you combine foods with different effects, they’ll cancel each other out. And if you mix food with monster parts, the result will be “dubious”, inert and practically inedible, so be sure to read the labels carefully. Some will have similar wording but still count as a separate effect, resulting in a nasty surprise if you should mix the two. You can, however, have extra Heart Containers and Stamina Wheels while another effect, like Fireproof or Electricity Resistance are in place, so use that to your advantage.

For meal recipes, talk to NPCs, complete sidequests, and also look on the walls of stables and inside homes, where posters will reveal the ingredients for certain dishes.

Cooking does not work as it might in other games; you don’t approach the pot and enter a menu to pull ingredients and cook from. Instead, you must go into your inventory, select an item, scroll down to “Hold”, and grab up to five items to carry. Exit the menu, then stand near a cooking pot. The option to Cook should appear. In a pinch, you can throw items on the ground near a fire to “bake” them but be aware that you cannot cook meals this way.

There are a few ways to get one last final bonus on your meals and elixirs. Cooking during a Blood Moon will help, as will using a Fairy in your recipe (don’t worry, the Fairy doesn’t actually cook and die). Dragon parts and star fragments also enhance elixirs and meals, though admittedly those are harder to obtain. The more rare and expensive the monster part in your elixir, the longer the effect, so keep that in mind as you mix.
