Around Hyrule and the territories beyond in Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>, you will come across countless edible items. The Golden Apple is one of the rarer fruits you will likely stumble across. <\/p>

Like all edible items, Link can simply eat Golden Apples raw to gain back some health. Compared to other raw foods, the Golden Apple does give back slightly more health, though this is not the item’s only use. If you are looking for Golden Apples in Tears of the Kingdom<\/a><\/em> or are unsure of how to use this item, here is what you need to know.<\/p>

How to use Golden Apples in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em><\/h2>

You can eat Golden Apples like any other food to gain back health, though perhaps more effectively you can also use it as an ingredient in your dishes. Using a Golden Apple in a dish can cause the Critical Cook buff, which increases the quality and length of the buffs that your food provides.<\/p>
