In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link has the ability to cook special dishes using ingredients found in nature or in shops, which can be used to heal himself. While some ingredients can be easily gathered in the wild, others such as Fresh Milk cannot be found in the environment or made by Link himself.
Fresh Milk serves a few purposes in Tears of the Kingdom. Drinking it by itself will only heal half of a heart, but it can be used in combination with other ingredients to create a variety of soups and stews. Additionally, it is a crucial ingredient needed to complete the Gloom-Borne Illness side quest. This guide will provide players with information on where to find Fresh Milk and how to acquire it.
How to Get Fresh Milk in Tears of the Kingdom
To obtain Fresh Milk in Tears of the Kingdom, there are two reliable ways to do so. Both methods can be found in Hateno Village, situated in the southeastern region of Hyrule. This location is situated between the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower and the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower, although traveling from the latter would be more convenient.
One way to acquire Fresh Milk is through purchasing it.
The local store in Hateno Village offers the most convenient way of acquiring Fresh Milk. Each bottle of this precious commodity costs 12 Rupees, and although the shopkeeper may only have a limited amount at any given time, players should have sufficient funds to make a purchase without breaking the bank.
Other shops may offer Fresh Milk, but they lack the reliability of the Hateno shop. For instance, you may find Fresh Milk from the Traveling Merchant near Kakariko Village, but it could be difficult to locate. Additionally, Beedle, the merchant who sets up shop at stables, might carry Fresh Milk, but his stock can be random and less trustworthy.
The Hateno Pasture, located on the eastern side of Hateno Village, is owned by Dantz who runs a dairy farm there. However, Dantz has been facing a shortage of acorns which has resulted in his inability to produce milk. Link is tasked with the responsibility of finding three regular acorns to help Dantz in his dairy farming.
