Start Cooking As Soon As You Can
Breath of the Wild doesn’t really make a big deal out of it, but cooking is incredibly useful in the game. As you travel around Hyrule, you can pick up mushrooms and climb trees to get some apples. All of these consumable items will restore a bit of your health, but you can create even more potent healing items by cooking.
All you need is a metal pot, some fire, and then dump ingredients in there to start cooking. Ingredients can be found all over the world, and you can mix and match them to create a variety of dishes to give you temporary buffs. The game will gradually start to get even more challenging, and if you don’t have a lot of hearts, you’re going to need the stronger healing items to help you out. Also, you can find a cooking pot near the Old Man’s shack on the Great Plateau. It’s a great starter pot to get you cooking.
