A player of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, who has invested more than 250 hours in the game, has recently made an exciting discovery - a new crop. This particular game is known for its vast and immersive world, offering countless opportunities for exploration and finding new surprises. The sheer size of the game means that players can spend hours upon hours uncovering the secrets of Hyrule and still stumble upon new things. A shining example of this occurred when one player, after dedicating over 400 hours to the game, stumbled upon the ability to salvage Dubious Food. Similarly, another player, with 105 hours of playtime, discovered the existence of Crystal Refineries. It is highly likely that more late-game discoveries will continue to unfold as more fans join the ranks and embark on their own adventures within the legendary realm of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Reddit user InspiraSean86 recently experienced a similar situation in the game Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Despite having played for a staggering 250 hours, they only discovered the Sun Pumpkin crop much later. This is because players can only acquire Sun Pumpkins after completing the Homegrown in Hateno side quest, which itself requires the completion of several other side quests. Additionally, it is quite possible for players to progress through the game without ever visiting Hateno Village. Unsurprisingly, both the Reddit user and numerous commenters have spent countless hours playing the game without ever encountering a Sun Pumpkin.
Although Sun Pumpkins may not be a significant crop in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, they can still be utilized in recipes to create more beneficial dishes. Cooking food plays a crucial role in the game as it allows players to restore lost hearts, enhance stamina, and acquire status effects that aid in exploring previously inaccessible areas.
The massive world of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will undoubtedly captivate even the most dedicated players for weeks, if not months. For those who have explored every aspect of the base game, anticipation may arise for Tears of the Kingdom DLC. However, as of now, Nintendo has not made any official announcements regarding its release. The highly awaited game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is now available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.
