How to heal in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom To recover health in Tears of the Kingdom players will use the same system that was first implemented in Breath of the Wild\u2014eating food. Of course, there are several ways to get food while playing, but the easiest and most convenient of these is to find it among terrain across the map. When you first start your adventure, the most simple food to find is apples, which are hidden amongst trees across the world. Now that you\u2019ve got your food, you\u2019ll want to consume it. This process can be done by opening your inventory, selecting an item from the materials tab, and pressing eat. If you\u2019re looking to get the most out of your materials then the best thing to do is cook your food. Once cooked, food provides much more health restoration than its raw alternative. Now you\u2019re up to speed with the healing process you should be able to journey through Tears of the Kingdom with plenty of sustain during those long boss battles.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TLOZ_TearsOfTheKingdom_scrn_08.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862922"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1837"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=862922"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862922\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":863402,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862922\/revisions\/863402"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/862938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=862922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=862922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=862922"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=862922"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=862922"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=862922"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=862922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
