Breath Of The Wild: Best Recipes To Restore Health And Stamina

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!

Hearty Simmered Fruit

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!

Enduring Fried Wild Greens

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!

Seared Gourmet Steak

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 Honey Candy

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.

Energizing Fish Skewer

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 both 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?
