Wild West Recipes

by Linda Holman, Casey Holman
Answer: ALICE B TOKLAS COOKBOOK

These cooking videos depict recipes from the game Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Teams need to identify the dishes created; this can be tricky. E.g., for some recipes, you need to notice whether the blood moon bonus is in effect. In BotW, eating food restores health, measured in hearts. Index into the dish-name by the number of hearts. E.g. eating FriEd Egg and Rice restores ❤️❤️❤️❤️ (4 hearts), so extract the E. Thus, this is something of a research project: finding recipes; finding the in-game health benefits of dishes.
