Old Man (Breath of the Wild): Difference between revisions

*At the [[Woodcutter's House]], south of the Temple of Time. During the daytime, the Old Man can be seen chopping down some wood. He teaches Link that that an [[Axe]] is the most effective weapon when cutting down a tree and that it makes for good [[Firewood]]. The Old Man also teaches Link that he must face the direction in which he wants the tree to fall in.{{Ref|''I thought this tree here might make for some good firewood. However...getting a tree to fall exactly where you want it to is quite an art. The trick is to turn your hips so that they face where you want the tree to land. It's best to use an axe when felling trees. A sword works in a pinch, but you'll end up ruining the blade.'' - '''Old Man'''}} At nighttime, the man can be seen sitting near the Woodcutter's House, next to the campfire. Here you can chat with him about cooking, where he'll provide some tips about mixing certain ingredients. He advises Link never to mix bugs and lizards with heartier ingredients or grains and vegetables.{{Ref|''The idea is to mix heartier ingredients, like fish and meat, with things like grains and vegetables. Spices and herbs help too, naturally. However... Do not accidentally add in things like bugs and lizards. Let's just say...they are not compatible. In fact, they are quite foul.'' - '''Old Man'''}} He does hint that certain ingredients have special properties when mixed with a normal fish, which can result in temporarily boosting stamina, or warming Link up.{{Ref|''Certain ingredients have special effects, such as temporarily warming you up or increasing your stamina. If you use them when cooking, even a normal dish will be elevated to one with a special effect. Do note that combining bugs or lizards with monster parts may yield some unexpected results. In fact, that's how you make elixirs!'' - '''Old Man'''}}
