[[File:File:EnemyBait.png.png|20x20px]] [[|]] Food is a type of item in The Legend of Zelda and Breath of the Wild.

Location and Uses

The Legend of Zelda

In The Legend of Zelda, Food, also called Enemy Bait,[1] is an item used to lure enemies. It can be bought from various Merchants scattered across Hyrule. Placing Food in an area where enemies are present distracts them as they gather near the bait. This allows Link to pass a crowded path or easily defeat the enemies. Within the Demon labyrinth, a hungry Goriya requires Link to give up some Food before he can pass.

Breath of the Wild

In Breath of the Wild, Food is a type of consumable item that Link uses to restore health and receive Boosts. Materials can be eaten raw, or be heated or frozen. Up to five Materials can also be combined together and cooked in a Cooking Pot. Only certain Materials combined can yield useful Food, and the potency of a Food's effects (e.g. the amount of Hearts or Stamina recovered) differ based on how many Materials Link used in the recipe. Failed combinations yield Dubious Food or Rock-Hard Food, which only restore minimal Hearts.

List of Food

Roasted Food

Many Materials can be roasted by subjecting them directly to high-heat. Roasted foods have 150% the heart restoration value over the raw Material, but do not provide any boosts. Unlike meals cooked in Cooking Pots, roasted foods stack in inventory.

Food Effects

In Breath of the Wild, certain ingredients carry different effects that are applied to food when it is cooked in a Cooking Pot. These effects are granted to the player at the time when food is consumed. Most of these effects have a time limit before they run out. Also, most of these effects cannot be stacked, meaning that when a player has one effect active and eats a food with a different effect, the previously active effect will be cancelled. Three exceptions to this are the Hearty, Energizing, and Enduring effects, which can be stacked with themselves until the player character's stamina and/or health are maxed out and also with one other timed effect.

The effects are as follows:

Effect Description Time Limit
Hearty Temporarily increases your maximum Hearts. No
Energizing Instantly refills some of your Stamina Wheel. No
Enduring Temporarily increases your Stamina limit. No
Hasty Temporarily increases your movement speed. Yes
Fireproof Grants a fireproof effect, which prevents your body from catching fire. Yes
Spicy Temporarily raises your body temperature. Yes
Electro Grants low/mid/high-level electricity resistance. Yes
Mighty Grants a low/mid/high-level attack-power boost. Yes
Tough Grants a low/mid/high-level defense boost. Yes
Sneaky Increases your ability to sneak.
Grants a low/mid/high-level stealth boost.
Yes
Chilly Grants low/mid/high-level heat resistance. Yes

Adding more of the same ingredient with a timed effect to the cooking pot causes the timed effect on the resulting food to last longer.

Adding multiple different ingredients with the same timed effect to the cooking pot causes the timed effect on the resulting food to last longer and can also result in that food having a mid or high-level effect rather than the base low-level effect.

Adding more than one of the same ingredient or multiple different ingredients with the same non-timed effect to the cooking pot causes the resulting food to have a stronger effect than it would have had with just one ingredient with that effect.

In general, having a variety of ingredients with the same effect produces stronger bonuses than using all of the same ingredient with that effect.

Combining ingredients with different effects will not cause the resulting food to have multiple effects. Instead, in the resulting food, only one effect will be present, or the multi-effect ingredient combination will result in Dubious Food.


Ingredients

The following is a list of the Material ingredients used to cook. Ingredients may be eaten raw to restore hearts, but cooking ingredients in a Cooking Pot increase heart values and imbue food with particular effects.
