Plenty of areas around Hyrule will require you to deal with the cold, and without some proper cold resistance for Link, he will start to shiver and lose health. The good news is that staying warm is fairly easy in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and if you want the most effective buffs, I have the best cold resistance recipes available.

There are a ton of great cold resistance recipes to cook up, which include dishes such as Spicy Simmered Fruit and Spicy Prime Poultry Curry.

Best Cold Resistance Recipes in TOTK:
- Spicy Simmered Fruit – 2 x Spicy Pepper, 1 x Goat Butter
- Spicy Prime Poultry Curry – 1 x Hylian Rice, 1 x Goron Spice, 1 x Raw Bird Thigh, 1 x Sunshroom

Any time you are cooking up cold resistance recipes, you can add one of the heat-based ingredients to change to designation to spicy.

Also, keep in mind that recipe potency can be altered by changing the amount of spice used. When you add more spice to the overall dish, you can expect more cold resistance to follow along as well, and you will save some ingredients in the process.
