15 🦹 Bon🔥us Effect Duration: Status Food + Apple

When first starting up the new Zelda game you will find that food buffs won’t last as long as you’d like, or you’re missing some ღingredients to finish up a max stew. Thankfully there are ways to increase ꦿthe duration of effects, as well as add to the healing factor of them. Apples are the easiest food to come across in the world, these fruits dangling from almost every tree. If you have extra space in your recipe, toss one or two of these in to increase their longevity by 30 seconds a pop. Merely cooking an apple increase its restoration properties, so you can never go wrong tossing one in.

14 ꦍ Fireproof Elix♋ir: Fireproof Lizards + Monster Parts

Like many Zelda games, there are hazards abroad, but Breath of the Wild has taken them to a new level. With day/night cycles and weather to contend with, you will need to keep on your toes when it comes to approaching volcanos and fire enemies. This easy elixir only require🍎s a single Fireproof lizard and one or more monster parts to create. It has a potent bonus: giving you immunity to fire damage. Adding more monster parts will increase its effects length. There will be a quest to collect these lizards an▨yway, so gathering a few extra or in preparation for the quest itself will be a good idea.

Fireproof Lizards can be found in: Death Mountain, Goro🎉n City, and Southern Mine

13 ജ 🍸 Electro Resistance: Voltfruit (3) + Zapshroom (2)

Following on from Fire immunity, you can also gain a resistance to electricity damage and environmental effects. While not providing immunity, the resistance given from this recipe should more🤪 than protect you. Exploring you will notice Zapshrooms appearing under trees during electrical storms, pick these up whenever you can, which is often. Once crafted, this will help in your fights against Electric Keese, Electric weapons, and lightning storms, along with a certain boss.

Zapshrooms can be found in: Deep Akkala and Gerudo Highlands. (Under tree🐼s)

Vol෴tfruit can be found in: Gerudo Dese🍷rt. (Ontop of cacti)

12 Spicy Fruit ꧂and Mushroom Mix: Hylian Shroom (x3) + Spicy Pepper (x2)

The final element we need to protect ourselves from is the cold, while ꦉnot as often used as a form of attack, cold is still a major concern for early parts of the game as well as going higher into the sky. While clothing can grant some great resistance, this dish is easy to make, which allows you to leave your strongest armor equipped. There will also be some quests down the line that require you to enter colder climates. This dish is also very eas🀅y to obtain early in the game, with an overabundance of the materials.

Spicy Peppers can be found in: Cabins/Small Ho🍒mes, Old Man's Hut in the Great Plateau. Pepper bushes.

Hylian Shrooms can be found in: Great Plateau

11 🃏 Mighty Simmered💜 Fruit: Mighty Banana (5)

As you make your way through the gam𒁏e, you will start to get a🐓ttack by assassins of sorts, the Yiga clan. When you defeat these enemies, they will drop rupees, weapons, and a bunch of Bananas. You will easily acquire enough to make this dish from these confrontations (and you will find heaps of them later on in the story). Another simple, yet overlooked dish: when you combine just 5 of these together, they give you a good boost to your attack, albeit for a short time.

Mighty Bananas can be found in: Defeating Yiga Footsoldier🔯s,ဣ Faron Grasslands and Kara Kara Bazaar.

10 Mig🍌hty Elixir: Mighty Banana + Monster Par༺ts

If you are low on Mighty Bananas, you can also combine them with Monster parts, giving yourself an elixir in the process. You can do this without bananas as well, merely combine some type of animal (not fish) with mighty in the name, which gives ꦇyou a similar boost. If you want a longer lasting elixiཧr, combine a Dragon Horn for 30 minutes of a strength boost. Be warned that elixirs tend not to heal you, so only go for this if you want the boosting effect.

9 🗹 20 Heart Containers: H෴earty Durian (5)

You don’t꧟ have to be a glass cannon, we have taught you how to increase your resistances before so now let’s move onto increasing your health. The most straightforward of these foods is the Hearty Durian, each one giving four heart containers when cooked, if you toss in five of these things into a pot, the result will be a dish that gives you 20 heart containers. You should be able to get around 20 in one run of their spawn location.

Hearty Durains can be found in: Bronas Forest

8 🃏 🍷 25 Heart Containers: Big Hearty Radish (5)

Even more hearts? Why not! While being more scarce then the Durians, Big Hearty Radishes give five heart containers each, with five in a bowl equalling 25 containers max. You can mix and match with the ꧑Durians, for a lesser effect if you run out, so grabbing a few of these should be high on your to-do-list. While you may find the normal Hearty Radishes around the world, the big versions are better.

Big Hearty Radishes can be found in: Tor𝓰in Wetland

7 🅺 Enduring Fired Wild Greens: Endura Carrot (5)

Now we’ve had our fill of heart containers let’s move onto the next order of business, our stamina gauges. You can (and should!) easily create food items that restore your stamina gauges, or give you a small boost to them, which can be sorely needed to climb towers and mountains. One of the easi📖est and best ways to gain more stamina, however, is this dish, full of carrots. Easy to spot, easy to cook, what more can you ask for? These carrots can even be used on Horses, and are required for a quest or two, so pack a few extra in your bag.

Endura Car🅘rots can be found in: Greaꦬt Fairy Fountains, Hyrule Ridge, Faron Grasslands, and Satori Mountain.

6 🧸 Energizing Glaze Seafood: Courser Bee Honey (2) + Staminoka Bass (3) 🦩

Extra stamina gauges are all well and good, but what happens when you find an extremely tall mountain, or encounter rain and enemies along the long climb? You need to bring out a tea set and crumpets, of course! Crafting this dish will rest♛ore both health and stamina, with one Staminoka Bass restoring one bar of stamina, three giving you your three base ones if you’re gone down that route of upgrading. If you’ve used the previous recipe, you can get even more use out of this dish.
