All Smoothie Shops in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

As an old-timer gamer with countless hours spent in the mystical realm of Hyrule, I can confidently say that the introduction of cooking mechanics in the latest installment of the Zelda franchise, Echoes of Wisdom, has been nothing short of revolutionary. The Smoothie system, while seemingly simple, adds a layer of depth and strategy to gameplay that I never thought I’d see.

In today’s era of the Zelda series, cooking plays a crucial role in ensuring that Link stays fit and offers various special abilities. This is evident in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, where this tradition is carried on through the Smoothie mechanic. Although simplified compared to previous games, this system enables Zelda to gather materials from all over Hyrule and transform them into unique concoctions called Smoothies, each with its own specific benefits.

In various spots on the map of Hyrule within the game ‘Echoes of Wisdom’, Zelda may come across a distinctive character known as the ‘Business Scrub’. This NPC manages a series of ‘Smoothie stands’ where, using the rare items she finds during her journeys, Zelda can concoct special drinks. These drinks offer healing benefits such as ‘healing hearts’ or additional effects like ‘energy’ for Swordfighter Form or ‘elemental resistance’.

In the game Echoes of Wisdom, there’s no need for any specific prerequisites when it comes to preparing drinks, except for finding your initial Smoothie Stand and gathering some essential items. Since these materials are dispersed across the kingdom, Zelda won’t have to wait long after gaining mobility in Hyrule before she can access them.

In the bustling setting of Echoes of Wisdom, you’ll discover a delightful Smoothie Stand where crafting beverages is surprisingly effortless. Here, smoothies are concocted using just a pair of basic components. To prepare a refreshing drink, follow these straightforward instructions:

Pick Ingredient 1: Decide which ingredient you want as the base of your Smoothie. This should be the key ingredient.
Pick Ingredient 2: You have several options for your second ingredient. First, you can simply double your first ingredient, making a basic Smoothie. You can also use a second ingredient to create a mixed Smoothie, with multiple effects. Some ingredients will simply bolster the main ingredient. Using trial and error is the best way to find what works, and what doesn’t.
Select Make Smoothie: The Business Scrub will charge you 10 Rupees to mix your ingredients.

Be aware that combining too many strengthening ingredients might result in an unappetizing drink we could call an “Accidental Smoothie.” Although these concoctions offer some nutritional value and energy boost, they may use up a precious slot in your beverage selection.

Smoothie Notes:

Zelda can carry 20 Smoothies at a time.
When you first meet the Business Scrub, he will initiate the “Recipes, Please” side quest, which will require a total of 30 unique Smoothie recipes to complete. Check the quest description in the menu to see how many recipes you’ve completed.
When mixing ingredients, the menu will let you know whether you’ve made a particular recipe before, and what the resulting Smoothie will be.
Ingredients are found in a variety of places: Treasure Chests, in Pots and Plants, Quest Rewards, and even amiibo Rewards.
