Cooking is a particularly key mechanic in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and throwing random ingredients in the pot can provide a near endless discovery, sometimes a few pointers can help. That’s where we come in, compiling all elixir recipes that you will need in Link’s open-air adventure.
These will require monster parts as well as the corresponding animal – a Restless Cricket being an energizing animal, a Hot-Footed Frog being a hasty animal and a Hearty Lizard being a hearty animal, for example. If you read their descriptions in the Materials page within the Inventory menu, it should help indicate which may be used for each recipe.
