Hylian Rice is a vital ingredient for cooking recipes in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but where can you get it? While the primary goal of Tears of the Kingdom is to travel to Hyrule and vanquish evil, many players find themselves completely immersed in the cooking aspect of the game. You can gather so many different ingredients in your quest, and you can concoct some wild meals. One popular meal ingredient is Hylian Rice, a difficult-to-find item that rarely spawns in the overworld. Is there any way to get this highly coveted ingredient to cook all the rice you want?
Where To Get Hylian Rice in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Hylian Rice is not a typical item that spawns on the surface of Hyrule. The only way to find Hylian Rice in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is by cutting tall grass growing along the edges of a large body of water. There’s a chance that Hylian Rice will drop after cutting the tall grass.
The best spot to farm Hylian Rice is the Rebella Wetlands, coordinates 2418, -2755, 0222. However, Hylian Rice is an extremely rare spawn. The odds of it dropping are so low that it isn’t worth grinding through several tall grasses.
Fortunately, Hylian Rice is a favorite among residents in villages, making it a very common recipe item. You’ll be far-fetched to not find the ingredient in general stores and merchants. If you see a Traveling Merchant, there’s always a chance he will be carrying Hylian Rice. However, since the odds of a Merchant having rice is random, your best bet is traveling to the stores and buying it.
The shops that carry Hylian Rice are in the Hateno Village, Gerudo Town, Koroko Forest, and Zora’s Domain. Hylian Rice is very inexpensive in shops; at Hateno Village, the item costs only 12 Rupees.
