She wakes up at 5am each morning and then walks over to her [[Cooking Pot]]. She is trying to cook her ultimate dish with some strange recipes, but they always end up turning into [[Rock-Hard Food]] or [[Dubious Food]].{{Ref|''Me? My name is Moza. I'm trying to perfect my ultimate dish, so I'm training in isolation right now.'' - '''Moza'''}} The burning of her food makes it look like it is a smoke signal, and when [[Link]] indicates that, Moza will get defensive and state that she's not trying to make a signal, but rather, she is trying to book.{{Ref|''Smoke signal? Oh, you mean this smoke? This is NOT a smoke signal! As you can plainly see, I'm in the middle of cooking!'' - '''Moza'''}}

Moza is not only using the wrong ingredients, but she is also over-cooking her food, causing it to burn.{{Ref|''I'm burning it?! So then...you're saying I've messed it up. I see. *sigh* For some reason, no matter how hard I try to cook something wonderful, it always turns out badly. I thought up this ultimate recipe myself, too. Why is this happening?!'' - '''Moza'''}} Moza has receipts for a lavish meat dish, an ancient meat dish, and an ultimate survival meat dish and wants to teach the receipts to Link.{{Ref|''Oh, I would love to! I don't mind at all. I'm sure you'll be able to cook something really tasty. I mean...probably. I have recipes for a lavish meat dish, an ancient meat dish, and an ultimate survival dish. Which will you learn.'' - '''Moza'''}}

The Lavish meat dish consists of any type of meat, whether it be from bird meat or a steak. Then it includes any type of Ore, such as [[Flint]]. However, whenever she cooks this meal, it ends up turning into [[Rock-Hard Food]].{{Ref|''Sure thing! I'll happily teach you the recipe for my lavish meat dish. First, prepare the meat you want to use. I recommend either bird meat or steak. Then you toss in some niiiice freeesh... ORE!!'' - '''Moza'''}}{{Ref|''Hey! That's not nice! Cooking delicious meat with shiny ore is the only way! How else would one create a truly lavish meat dish, silly?! To be honest, what I always end up making is rock-hard food... How did it even get that rocky anyway? Even when I use ingredients I'm certain will be perfect, there are lots of times I still mess it up. Cooking is complicated.'' - '''Moza'''}}

Moza spends the entire day cooking, waking up at 5am each morning and remaining in front of her Cooking Pot until midnight. She goes to bed each evening disappointed in what she has cooked. However, she remains hopeful than tomorrow her fortunes turn around and she is able to cook a nice recipe.{{Ref|''My endeavors today have only added to the wreckage that is my culinary career... But tomorrow... Tomorrow is definitely the day I turn it all around!'' - '''Moza'''}} Even when she is sleeping, she is thinking about her recipe for the next day, thinking it might need more [[Rock Salt|Salt]], or perhaps it has too much Salt.{{Ref|''Zzz... Needs more salt... Noooo, too much salt...'' - '''Moza'''}}

==''Tears of the Kingdom''==
Moza can be found in the [[Rikoka Hills Well]], where she transforms failed dishes, such as [[Dubious Food]] or [[Rock-Hard Food]], into [[Monster Stew]] for 10 [[Rupee]]s. When Link first arrives, Moza thinks that he's a customer.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Huh? Are you...a customer?!|'''Moza'''}} Moza runs [[Moza's Hideaway Restaurant]], although the restaurant hasn't officially opened yet.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Welcome to Moza's Hideaway Restaurant, home of the ultimate dish! Truth is, we haven't officially opened. You must have a good nose! I mean, you just couldn't stay away from these tempting aromas, right?|'''Moza'''}}
===The Ultimate Dish?===
{{main|The Ultimate Dish?}}
Speaking with will begin [[The Ultimate Dish?]] quest. Moza will ask Link to give her some failed dishes and then she can work her magic.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Doesn't it? Any customer with such a discerning sniffer is welcome here. For I, Moza, have performed a miracle. After years of culinary experimentation, one failed dish after another... I mastered the ultimate dish. I'll let you in on my ultimate technique. *ahem* Take a failed dish! Pound it into shape! Cook it again! And take it to the next level! Um, sorry. I got a little carried away. So, are you ready to turn your failed food into the ultimate dish? If you give me failed dishes, I can work my magic!|'''Moza'''}} In particular, she asks Link to bring her some [[Dubious Food]] or [[Rock-Hard Food]].{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Yeah. Haven't you tried throwing things that aren't food into your cook pot? When you do, you'll often end up with a failed dish. They can fail in different ways. There's dubious food and rock-hard food... Dubious, they say! Rock-hard, they call it! Psh. Just because you throw in some ore or monster bits. What terrible things to say, don't you think? Haven't they ever heard the saying "nothing ventured, nothing gained"? *sigh* Sorry. I was just thinking about my life before becoming a master chef.|'''Moza'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Bring me your failed dishes when you're ready to turn them into something amazing.|'''Moza'''}}
After Link has acquired some Dubious Food or Rock-Hard Food he can return to Moza and show it to her.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|All right! Let me see this culinary disaster.|'''Moza'''}} Moza will criticize the food at first, before then calling it spectacular.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|H-how?! Can you even call this food?! There are rocks softer than this! I might have chipped a tooth just looking at it. Um. Sorry about that. This is such a spectacular canvas that I couldn't help myself. Anyhow, it's dangerous to leave this be. I'll cook it, pound it, and make it ultimate!|'''Moza'''}}
The first time Link brings one of these failed fishes to Moza, she will charge Link five rupees.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|It's your first time, so you get a discount. Let's call it five rupees.|'''Moza'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Huh? Was that too expensive? It—it's only five rupees! Ultimate flavor for the ultimate price!|'''Moza'''}} Each subsequent time, she'll charge 10 rupees.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Thanks for your business! Now, let's get to work...|'''Moza'''}} Moza will then get to work, and will create some [[Monster Stew]].{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Whoaaa! Crank up the heat! Chop it! Pound it! Steam it! Throw in a Hyrule bass! Boil it! Cook it! Add that raw meat! Now just a pinch of the secret extract, aaand... Done! Prepare to be amazed!|'''Moza'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Phew! That was tough. And now...the ultimate dish. Behold!|'''Moza'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Eat up before it gets cold.|'''Moza'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|With this extract, I'm unstoppable! It was totally worth the trip to that town in the northeast.|'''Moza'''}}

==Trivia==
*In a somewhat ironic fashion, Moza appears to be one of the most enduring Hylians found in ''Breath of the Wild'', and she is currently camping at a dump of carcasses in the mountains, as opposed to the rather high standard of living most other Hylians seem to have. All while cooking barely edible food, whilst the crates in front of her camp actually contain edible food, such as wildberries. Moza, however, seems to disregard this completely and continues to cook her rather horrid food.
*In ''Breath of the Wild'', Moza's [[Cooking Pot]] cannot be used to cook, as she'll prevent Link from using it even when she's sleeping.
