In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, players have the opportunity to hunt various animals that can be cooked into delicious meals. These recipes are particularly useful as they can restore a substantial amount of Link's health, unlike simpler ingredients such as apples or mushrooms. By combining meat with other ingredients like mushrooms, players can create dishes like Mushroom Skewers, which can restore multiple hearts. However, hunting is necessary to obtain the required meat for these recipes. This guide will provide valuable information on how to hunt the different creatures found in Tears of the Kingdom.
How To Hunt Foxes (And Other Animals)
In order to hunt animals in Tears of the Kingdom, players must first equip themselves with a bow and arrows. These items are readily available at the start of the game, before leaving Sky Island. As arrows can be difficult to come by once leaving the island, it is wise to use them sparingly throughout the game, such as for starting fires to defeat enemies or hunt animals.
There are various types of animals that can be hunted in Tears of the Kingdom, including foxes, bears, and several types of pigs. While exploring Hyrule, players can spot these creatures in fields of grass, often one at a time. Horses, on the other hand, tend to gather in groups and will flee if they sense danger. It's worth noting that horses cannot be hunted in Tears of the Kingdom, but their behavior illustrates how each animal has its own unique characteristics.
When hunting a tricky fox or any other animal, it's best to maintain a safe distance while aiming the arrow in the direction of the creature. Depending on where the animal is shot, it may require another arrow to be fully killed. Quick reflexes are necessary as animals tend to run away after being hit once. Once the animal is killed, it will turn into an obtainable meat item that can be picked up and added to Link's inventory. However, the meat will be raw, and Link will need to work on it before consuming it to gain health benefits. The meat can also be combined with various other ingredients to create unique recipes in Tears of the Kingdom.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is currently available on Switch.
