As you can see from the table above, there are plenty of recipes to utilise in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. With all of them capable of restoring health and most of them able to apply a range of temporary buffs, ensuring you have an inventory full of ingredients is a surefire way of guaranteeing survival in Hyrule.

How to cook in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

There are two ways you can cook in Tears of the Kingdom. The first involves utilising an open fire. If it's a campfire or a blazing inferno created by a dropped torch, any fire will do the trick.

Simply drop your ingredients near the fire and after a few seconds, the ingredients will cook into their roasted variants. Roasted food only restores a small amount of health so it's best to use the second, and more effective, cooking method.

The next method involves using a cooking pot. You can find a pot all over Hyrule and you're guaranteed to find one at any stable you visit. To use a cooking pot, open your inventory, choose your ingredients and start creating!
