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.

Now that you know how to cook in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you can happily go on your way finding ingredients and gaining benefits from recipes. Plus, we all know you want to see Link live out his apparent Masterchef dreams!
Where to Get Portable Pots in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
If you’re looking for a Portable Pot Zonai Device in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom — lucky for you, Zonai Dispensers offer them in exchange for Zonai Charges. While there are many Zonai Dispensers that offer the Portable Pot, there is one specific location that can be accessed early and is straightforward to find. Located south of Outskirt Stable and southwest of Hyrule Field, you will find a go-to spot whenever you need a Portable Pot for your cooking needs. Use the image attached for the exact location of this Zonai Dispenser.
Make Link hold Zonai Charges and drop it into the canister for the device to spill out of Portable Cooking Pots. The more Zonai Charges you put into the machine, the more cooking pots you will receive!
