As you guide Link around Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll encounter many situations that warrant an Elixir. Too hot? Chilly Elixir. Too cold? Spicy Elixir. Need to climb up a wall, but it’s raining? Sticky Elixir. The list goes on. Here’s everything that you need to know about making Elixirs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
How do I make an Elixir in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
To cook an Elixir, you need the creature that will provide the buff you want and one Monster Part. For example, if you want to make a Fireproof Elixir, you must cook a Fireproof Lizard and any Monster Part together. This can be done at any Pot. It doesn’t matter if it’s a static Pot found in a town or by using a Portable Pot Zonai Device. You can add up to five materials when cooking Elixirs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, so don’t be afraid to add more than one of the same ingredients. The more you add, the longer its buff will last. Open up your inventory with the Minus Button (-). Click on the resource you want to cook, and select “Hold.” Do this for up to five materials, then press B to exit the menu. Link will hold the ingredients you selected. Press A in front of a Pot, and he will automatically throw them in together and begin cooking.
