This guide will show you how to make Elixirs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
How to create Elixirs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Crafting an Elixir is similar to cooking. You will need a cooking pot. If you don’t have one, you can find one in any of the towns or collect a portable pot from a Device Dispenser. You can start making Elixirs shortly after reaching the Great Sky Island at the start of the game.
To make an Elixir, press the + button to open your inventory. Navigate to the materials section and select the ingredients you want. Once you have them held, place the ingredients in a pot and the Elixir will be made.
