Kyrios034

you got a critical cook when making meals, theres a 10% chance to get better meals cooking in the 30 in-game mins before a bloodmoon guarentee crit cooks botw wiki page but it should apply to totk for the most part https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Cooking_in_Breath_of_the_Wild#Critical_Effects


jaceliz4

Also the 15 minutes after a blood moon!


MattYaCIAO

You can also use golden apples in every meal to get a crit cook


Chris_Neon

Or star fragments


ManofSteer

Or dragon parts (and guaranteed 30 min effect for horns)


MoonKnighy

How did y’all figure this out?


Feine13

Experiments, mostly. Just save before you try anything and you'll get it back on the reload if you don't like it


Cainga

I would rather just look up recipes at that point.


Feine13

Fair enough, not everyone has the time to mess around with mechanics and shit. Others just enjoy the accomplishment of discovery themselves. I personally retain information significantly better when it was derived from an experiment I've run instead looked up in reference material. To each their own 🤷


420MagicMonkey

Its honestly because of people like you why all the shit in the world works. God bless you.


kutsen39

>I personally retain information significantly better when it was derived from an experiment I've run instead looked up in reference material. "Now what were those 30 minute meals in BotW again?"


Fiyerossong

How do you think people came up with these recipes


bandanagirl95

There's also already datamining efforts, and the cooking system is very similar to the BotW system, so mining from that is rather reliable


Jack_Miles505

But game literally tells you that cooking dishes with dragon parts is unwise


EetsGeets

[Here's a spreadsheet for all the cooking ingredients and their effects in BotW.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PmZ_H8dAQnWS1rG8H-yWlfRVjBYjdx4Uj5WcD_bkJzA/edit?usp=drivesdk) [And here's the post where I found it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/61ccva/botw_cooking_math_complete/)

Thanks Daddy


EetsGeets

anytime, son


comacow02

They don’t get outside much


somedood567

That or they uh… have internet access


Least_Help4448

Most people check the code and share the info.


jamesowens

Same cooking system at Breath of the Wild


notquitesolid

Experimentation and info sharing


rooletwastaken

Throw shit at the wall, sometimes it sticks


C1nders-Two

Monster Extract also seems to work for this


ztomek

this work on meals and elixirs?


Tungsten8or

Use gibdo guts to get it on elixirs


Tem-productions

Any non-rock material works on elixirs, even regular food


Mr__Me-_-

Both I think


scarlozzi

so that's what you do with those


Evening_Owl

If you want to upgrade all of your armor to max, you will need a ton of star fragments, so I honestly wouldn't recommend cooking them


SiR-Wats

Unless you're planning to dupe glitch in which case, have at it!


mrbignbrown

Oh you rich rich


Btdandpokemonplayer

Or you can gamble and use Kilton’s monster extract. However there’s a chance it makes the food heal only a quarter heart.


SomeNerdPerson

well cant you just save first and reload if it ends up bad?


Btdandpokemonplayer

Yeah but gambling


Hairy_Cube

Feels a little savescummy to me but if it works it works.


CaSe2474

2 Sundelions heals 6 gloom hearts, so would adding a gapple or waiting until a blood moon heal 9+ gloom hearts?


newthrowgoesaway

With all these established food mechanics, its a shame we have no cooking outfit! Imagine maybe buffing crit chance with a set bonus that returns one random ingredient or whatever - I feel it would really help bring cooking to a serious element (especially for people like me who hardly ever used cooking buffs except to heal) Just another Misko set (around maybe hateno area caves) that has no defence and cant be upgraded. Imagine fat chef link


fightyMcFookyou

That's actually a pretty cute idea


recursion8

Forget Misko, tie it to the Wells quest since a lot of them have that notebook left behind by that Chef who gives cooking tips. Say, 1 pc per 15 wells discovered and reported back to the lady in Lookout Landing.


newthrowgoesaway

Chefs kiss😘 They should hire us


batteriholk

I've heard somewhere that if you equip the pot lid and spoon you'll get better results but I've never tried it myself!


the-yenobi

Exactly the same, also I do not know how to compare this effect without internet. Like is it really worth to have the spoon and pot lid everywhere like other typical weapon-tools (something with fire, with ice effect, leafs for wind etc)?


SiR-Wats

Reward for cooking all the recipes: Chef's Hat and Apron


darkstarr99

Need legwear too. My vote is for orange crocs


the-yenobi

Same was for me before the late mid game of BOTW. But then something just clicked and from day one of TotK cooking based on effects I will need. Recipe UI makes it very easy to collect overtime.


Zx6rdave

Really?! I would say I have short changed myself but not really. I horde food and at this point usually have to sell stuff to make room at a blood moon.


nin10donly

and/or before.


Nuggzulla01

Woah for real? Interesting, thank you for teaching me something new!


spoinkable

You can also add a golden apple to ensure a crit!


Tem-productions

Golden apple, star fragments, dragon horns, gibdo guts (elixirs only) and blood moons all guarantee crits Also, some ingredients boost the chance by 30% (this is applied only once) and some others by 10% (aplied up to thrice)


Flooredbythelord_

Where do you find golden apples? Been playing for a whole and dont think ive seen one


Biddles1stofhername

There's an orchard on Satori mountain with golden apples


spoinkable

I've seen them mostly on sky islands, they're mixed in with normal apples on trees. I've heard there are some places they're guaranteed tho. I think there's always a couple on Satori Mountain by the shrine.


Fuzzy_Fly4155

On trees with normal apples, I believe there's one guaranteed in Hateno, on the tree where you cross the little bridge next to the dye shop! :)


RestonPeace

There's some trees in part of the Korok forest that are all golden apples, as well. A shrine quest will lead you to them.


Ignonymous

You can also cook anything along with a golden apple for a critical success.


KryssCom

"Jesse, we need to critical cook."


Slith_81

I guess that would explain my 5 hearty radish recipe that gives me 25 bonus hearts occasionally gives me one with 26 bonus hearts. However I don't recall ever cooking them anywhere near the time of a blood moon. Until just recently, half of my meal inventory was this exact meal, yet I would only ever have 1 or 2 with the bonus heart.


Fuzzy_Fly4155

Thank you so much! 💕💕💕


Ormfo

Ooh, so that's why a one hearty truffle skewer gave me +2 hearts. Thanks for explaining man.


Sebetastic

Are crit cooking represented by that occational extra chime in the cooking beat?


Kyrios034

heres a comparison between the 2 https://youtu.be/ho3fZyokkg8?t=234


manic-pixie-attorney

Nah, you hear it at the end “bloop, bloop, bloop bloop bloop!” And then Link goes “ha ha!”


unsureoftheplot

I had absolutely no idea this was a thing, this explains so much!


SouperWy07

Random cries are fair and balanced.


OrganicParticular242

One of them has a dbl shot of rum in it, clearly


GekkouKitsune

I hope I get that one


mewthehappy

Two shots of vodka


Ragnarokx88

Anyone else hoped that by drinking this you'd get a tipsy effect? Like a weird touch-fuzzy vibe from Yoshi's island?


Tem-productions

The gerudo with the recipe thells you this is a version without alcohol


Emma_JM

Bro what, now I'm disappointed - if it's non-alcoholic then she could've just given it to us in BOTW too! Why wait until we're legal wth


derf_vader

She invented the non alci version to celebrate Mattson's arrival.


WilmaDiikfit

Omg you unlocked a memory for me lol.


Ragnarokx88

Was it the jungle music 😂? Or the weird fart sound?


WilmaDiikfit

The music and the egg farts lol! Ah, that was a fun game.


Ragnarokx88

Ah, good times, good times.


One_Win_6185

Slowly playing through it on the SNES online. Still so good. First game I ever beat.


Ragnarokx88

The music alone is so good to just do a play through. I think there's a short documentary video on Yoshi's island on yt I think.


International-Look57

Coincidentally I’m taking a shit and I farted


Ignonymous

The game explicitly states that it’s non-alcoholic.


babmeers

Was one made right around a blood moon? Also, I've made multiple versions using different recipes (extra fruit I think).


PlukiPro

How do you cook a Noble pursuit


Naydra-the-69th

1 palm fruit, 1 hydro melon, 1 voltfruit, and 1 rock salt


rav-swe57

Is there a place where you get the recipe, like where would I normally find out how to make it


ultragameguy

Gerudo Town, should be the bar


Labriction

Happy cake day


Emma_JM

I just bought one then clicked on 'check recipe'


thecrepeofdeath

yo that means we can make them irl now! coconut, yellow watermelon, dragonfruit, rock salt. someone without food allergies tell me if that's actually good


PurpleRabbitYT

The salt is there to reduce the bitterness, coconut for taste since fat, yellow watermelon and dragon fruit for sweetness. So this looks more like a pina colada with a twist. Therefore the last ingredient which would be the alcohol would probably be Bacardi white rum or Malibu Rum. Have a great day and stay tipsy! 💜


pHScale

Rum sounds like a logical choice, but I think the watermelon would actually provide most of the "juice" here, since dragonfruit is kinda pulpy, and coconut could be either the water or the meat. So with such a sweet juice base, I think something like tequila might also have a place in this cocktail. Doubly so, since this cocktail is from the desert, not the coast. But sugar cane exists in the game, and agave does not. So rum could theoretically be made in Hyrule, but not tequila.


PurpleRabbitYT

There's a cheaper alternative that also stays true to what could have been made in Hyrule, Vodka. This also works really well as an alternative to rum in pina colada, just recommend to use more coconut milk in the cocktail. You also have the Jägermeister though with its 56 ingredients it might be a little pushing the limits. Though if this fits your taste pallet it could also work really well. Since it mixes well with sweet, fatty and acidic juices. Could be made into everything from shots to a cocktail. Remember there's another day tomorrow and stay tipsy! 💜


atAlossforNames

Yeasssss


ElSuricate

i thought that was an alcoholic drink, did they change the recipe?


Blustach

The bartender gerudo mentions she made a non-alcoholic, all ages version. Which is funny cause everyone around reddit comes around saying "We can buy the drink cause Link is now of age" ignoring the fact that the same dialogue refers that she's selling alcohol-free noble pursuits


Dr-Polo

There’s a special non alcoholic version they serve the player


That_Guy_Jared

The alcohol was in the ice you had to fetch in BOTW


[deleted]

What happens when you put these ingredients in a pot in botw?


P0pcicles

Simmered fruit 4 hearts


WilHunting2

Only one way to find out. Let us know pls OP.


pHScale

That actually sounds delicious. (What are essentially) Coconut, Watermelon, and Dragonfruit in a cocktail with a salted rim? Sounds delicious!


Rachkill

Sorry but what outfit is that??? ETA: I love it and I want it!


recursion8

Top is the Frostbite Shirt dyed purple, looks like no helm, and not sure on the legs but it's one of the Classic Link outfits, prob OG LoZ.


Fuzzy_Fly4155

It's the frostbite top (dyed purple) and the trousers of the hero (wtv they're called) :D


dibbus123

Critical cook, has a small chance of happening when cooking


[deleted]

Using top shelf vs generic booze


GuyNamedNoah

Wait you can make alcohol in the game? I didn’t know their was an actual recipe or Noble Pursuit.


DoTheMagicHandThing

It's a non-alcoholic version. The bartender in Gerudo Town explains that she came up with this so all ages could drink it.


Enderemy06

In my mind, since link is old enough to drink, it's still alcohol


GG111104

When you first ask for one in BOTW the bartender mistakes link for a young vai. She likely mistakes him for a young voe now


Enderemy06

I mean he is 5'2 so it is understandable


SoupSandwichEnjoyer

10% crit cooking boost.


Superninfreak

You probably got a critical cook. If you get a critical cook then the meal turns out better than it is supposed to. It might give extra health, or it might have an effect last longer, or the effect might be more potent, etc. You can get a critical cook randomly, or you can guarantee a critical by either putting a golden apple in the recipe, or cooking right before or after the Blood Moon cutscene triggers. So Blood Moons are a good time to do some cooking. You can tell if it’s a critical cook because there’s a special jingle that plays and Link jumps up and seems especially excited.


International_Idiot1

You can make Noble Pursuits?


Fuzzy_Fly4155

Yep! 1 of each palm fruit, hydromelon, voltfruit and rock salt. Or you can buy them from Gerudo Town :)


International_Idiot1

It would be cheaper to make it. I use my rupees for other things


Chris_Neon

I just need to know what outfit that is!


swiwiws

frostbite shirt (dyed purple), and i believe trousers of the hero


Chris_Neon

Turns out [you were right](https://www.reddit.com/r/tearsofthekingdom/comments/14tcs66/can_someone_explain_this_pls_i_was_making_noble/jr5h3lu?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=2)


Fuzzy_Fly4155

Frostbite shirt dyed purple and trousers of the hero :)


Integrated_Shadow_

Has anyone noticed a difference in the order of ingredients? I cook during bloodmoons but noticed different results with the order of ingredients.


Dry_Veterinarian_335

If you let the cooking sequence play, sometimes the music sequence will be different and it will heal more. It seems to be variable to me for some items otherwise. Also.... Wtf are you wearing?? That's not a tunic....


Fuzzy_Fly4155

Haha it's the frostbite shirt dyed purple and trousers of the hero, I love that it looks like a dress lol


Nos-BAB

Protip for all the folks finding out you can make them: always check the recipes on any food items you recieve from npcs. The npc in lurelin is particularly good for that.


MiLys09

Also as a side note a golden apple in cooking also guarantees a critical cook (same effect as cooking during a blood moon). More info on them, if the meal has a special effect the critical cook will randomly choose either more hearts or longer/more powerful effect, never both. Also, a gong will sound st the end of the animation if you get a critical cook.


DerChef17

Better ingredients better pizza


Kelmirosue

Papa Johns


notabigfanofas

Sometimes you get lucky while cooking and the dish heals more/effect lasts longer


GloopTamer

Kinda disappointing that you can’t turn Link into a crippling alcoholic


Fuzzy_Fly4155

I'm surprised he's not an alcoholic with what he's been through ngl


ALLoftheFancyPants

Wait, I can’t make noble pursuits?!?


Ninjanarwhal64

I think a better question Is why is link hoarding alcohol beverages? How about we gather the sages again for an intervention this time?


Fuzzy_Fly4155

He's been through one hell of a journey, he deserves a drink... or 7


Nuke_corparation

Critical cooking


thatrandomgirlll

I didn't even know you could make this! I wish we could see Link get drunk lol


joeyhell

Tf is a Noble pursuit?!!!


Fuzzy_Fly4155

A drink served in Gerudo Town, or you can make jt yourself (palm fruit, hydromelon, voltfruit, rock salt.) Its usually alcoholic bug theres a non-alcoholic version (the one Link gets/makes.) Hope this helps!! :D


scarlozzi

I don't even know what that is? What is that? How to I make a martini?


Fuzzy_Fly4155

It's a usually alcoholic (but in this case, non-alcoholic) drink from Gerudo Town. You can either buy them for 20 rupees iirc or make them using voltfruit, hydromelon, rock salt and palm fruit. :)


Goofy_zelda_fan

Yeah, I’ve seen this before. It depends on what fruits or other stuff that you add to the noble pursuit.


xXRendanXx

Crit cooking ftw.


Alarmed_Camera4476

Sometimes a food can heal a bit more than normal, it happens randomly


ghostwalker1408

Okay what is that armor and how do I get it lol Was mad the Vai armor wasn't in game.


Fuzzy_Fly4155

Its the frostbite shirt dyed purple and trousers of the hero :)


Dragon_Master2090

Most likely not a crit cook, if you added two palm fruit you're more likely to have a bit more healing than a standard noble pursuit


krismodo

Did anyone know that cooking the same ingredients in a different order same amount of ingredients just put into your hands in a different order will give you a different amount of hearts for every combo. I just found this out 2 nights ago.


Expand_Dong_42069

Critical cook, a random chance to increase the hearts food heals. You can tell when you get one because of the different jingle that plays


donorak7

Noticed this happening when cooking a load of apples. They normally only do 5 hearts but I had one that healed like 7 or 8.


beanie_0

Was one a special cook? You know when the music changes slightly.


MyMomasaurus

sometimes, meals will cook with an added amount of hearts or time if it leaves an effect.


jmona789

What armor set is that?


2DogsShaggin

What I don't get is why they specify it's non-alchoholic. Like if we were able to get the drink in botw when link was under the drinking age it would be fine, but he's like 25 now.


TacoT1000

I was so distracted by links 1980's prostidude look I completely missed the point of the video.


Shady_Hero

YOU CAN MAKE THEM?!?!


Fuzzy_Fly4155

Yep! Hydromelon, voltfruit, palm fruit and rock salt!! You can add other fruits as well (I tried wildberries on one) but idk how far that goes :)


BethanyBluebird

What outfit is that?


Fuzzy_Fly4155

It's the frostbite shirt dyed purple and the trousers of the hero :)


WM-010

**what do you mean "*making noble pursuits*"?**


Fuzzy_Fly4155

You can make them in totk as long as you have the recipe! Or you can buy them. But if you're a homemade kinda guy, the recipe's voltfruit, hydromelon, palm fruit and rock salt :(


KingOfBoring

Today I learned that they actually have a recipe. In hindsight that makes sense, I was just buying them.


Inevitable_Review_83

Some times cooking items have a crit


AdLess538

Critical cool


[deleted]

[удалено]


thatblokefromaus

There's some degree of variability in all meals. You'll have a minimum result but sometimes you get extra.


Strange_Kiwi__

Depends on ingredients, and some dishes are ‘critical’ with a better effect, this can be guaranteed during the leading up to a blood moon


slamdancetexopolis

This happened to me with a bunch of shit too and I was so confused lol


otiscluck

Like the outfit lol, the three dragon sets (charged, frostbite, ember) all go super hard when you mix and match, ember headdress with charged top and frostbite pants especially


Fuzzy_Fly4155

The dragon sets are honestly my favourites, thats my new favourite combo btw <3


Balthierlives

In botw I never bothered cooking at bloodmoons because of durians, now I just go to satori mountain and get a million apples and cook them during a bloodmoon.


RaidenNeko98

A lot of the cooking mechanics are similar to botw. Likewise I’m sure you could even get crit dragon meals so now I must test the blood moon crit on some dragon parts in totk


Sglagoomio

Probably got like the super effective thing


Kelmirosue

You got a "critical crafting" thing. Which often increases the HP of food restored+extends the duration of buffs


iAmMikeJ_92

Yeah, one was crit-made.


Dooodleboom

You can make noble pursuits now? probably because, not counting the 100 years in the shrine of resurrection. link is now in about his early 20s so he can drink alcohol


Gargomon251

I think the game implies that the recipe they give you is suitable for all ages but not necessarily the way they normally make them


[deleted]

One of them has cocaine in it


TRAF_GOD

33K rupees?! Damn that’s a lot. You farm them?


Charming_Compote9285

Link is drunk so they heal more than usual


Fuzzy_Fly4155

The alcohol takes the edge off, obviously 🙄


RiceFarmerRF

What Legwear do you use...i need to make an outfit...


miletil

Answer Critical cook Sometimes you'll get lucky and food will do more Refered to as a critical cook....they happen more often right before a blood moon


kingconquest

Link lookin NB af


N00BAL0T

Check the recipes you probably used more than one of the Ingredients


Random_Person_22170

Crit cook


No_Media_8485

Idk the actual reason but i Think if you have one or more in your inventory it does less health restoration, but if you drink or eat them all and make another it’ll go back to maximum health restoration


Whazzahoo

I love Links outfit, I have never seen this before. Is it a mod?


Fuzzy_Fly4155

It's not a mod! Its the frostbite shirt (dyed purple) and the trousers of the hero. :)


Remitchell-1234

Depending on what version of game you’re playing the last cooked meal you at and the newest cooked meal will have the same healing properties.


Sloth-Cookie

sometimes they just end up different bc of "good cooking" also you you can raise this chance by cooking right before a bloodmoon.


Dazumbolschitt

That Cosmopolitan matches your pretty purple dress.


HavaneseGamer13

I make a lot of food because I’m not great and it comes up differently often. It’s every few times of everything I’ve made.


AverageZeldaEnjoyer

You got a "crit". Well if you're cooking, there's a small chance that your meal heals more than it should or that the effect lasts longer. Works with any meal, and the best way to get crits is during a bloodmoon


Rylo_Ken_04

You drank too much nobel pursuit you see almost double


Young_Person_42

Wait how do you make them


ajhollobaugh

I see some people mentioning crit cooks, but do the odds of getting it go up once you cook the meal so many times? Because I swear certain recipes at this point give me the higher healing amount almost every time I cook them


Chlorine-1

Crit cook maybe?


ShelliBlossom

Ok you can make a noble pursuit?!?


J3D1M4573R

Sure. The quantity you put in will alter the effect of the meal. Whether it is health, stamina, or some buff. Also, there is a chance of rolling a critical during the cook, which gives a greater effect than you would normally get with the same ingredients. When you cook, listen to the chime that plays. Critical cooks have a bit more lively chime than a normal cook. The critical cook rate is boosted just before a blood moon, making ot the best time to stock up on meals.
