All Recipe Effects and How to Make Them in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
For most recipes with “any” type of ingredient listed in them, you will be able to mix and match what you end up using. Recipes such as Fish and Mushroom skewers are excellent in my opinion because of how simple it is to find the ingredients. However, without extra effects, they can be lackluster in terms of efficiency. We have listed all of the various effects you can add to recipes and a few things to use.
- Attack Power Boost — Razorshroom, Mighty Thistle, Bladed Rhino Beetle, Mighty Bananas, Mighty Carp, Razorclaw Crab
- Cold Resistance — Sunshroom, Warm Darner, Spicy Pepper, Sizzlefin Trout
- Speed Boost — Swift Carrot, High-tail Lizard, Hot-footed Frog
- Increased Stealth — Sneaky River Snail, Silent Shroom, Sunset Firefly
- Stamina Boost/Regeneration Effect — Rhino Beetle, Stamella Mushroom, Staminoka Bass
- Heat Resistance — Chillshroom, Cold Darner, Chillfin Trout
- General Defence Up — Armored Porgy, Armored Carp, Fortified Pumpkin
- Fire Resistance — Fireproof Lizard, Smotherwing Butterfly
- Resistance to Electricity/Shock Boost — Thunderwing Butterfly, Voltfruit, Electric Safflina
I personally recommend trying to stock up on as many Attack Power Boost ingredients as you can — you never know if you might be in a pinch for some extra power while exploring Hyrule!

How to Cook in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
In order to cook various recipes in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom you will have to either use a Cooking Pot (this looks similar to a cauldron on top of a fire), a Portable Pot or you can drop food onto an open fire. When you have ingredients/”materials” you can hold the desired ingredients then proceed to a Cooking/Portable Pot and interact by pressing A on your Nintendo Switch to “Cook” your food.

Link can hold ingredients by opening up your inventory and navigating to the tab named Materials with the apple at the top. I would suggest just selecting your ingredient and then choosing the option to hold them — it is also always worthwhile trying to always cook your food in a Cooking or Portable Pot in our opinion. The process is a lot simpler than the open-fire method of dropping your food in a specific place.
