InBreath of the Wild, players can cook their own food to restore HP or gain buffs. Most meals can be thrown together, but then there are the more-complex recipes such as desserts or stews. Link can gather just about every ingredient from the wild, but some are not as easily accessible.
Ocarina of TimeandMajora’s Maskallowed players to get Milk from cows by playing Epona’s Song.Breath of the Wilddoes not have this mechanic, making Fresh Milk a store-exclusive material. To make matters worse, there are only three merchants in all ofBotWwho keep it in stock.

Where to Buy Fresh Milk
The only way to get Fresh Milk is to buy it, but there are some side quests that give Fresh Milk as a reward. Fresh Milk can be purchased fromEast Wind, the general store in Hateno Village. Hateno is to theeast of Dueling PeaksandKakariko Village. Players that head straight to Kakariko Village after completing the Great Plateau will be directed to Hateno Village by Impa. Hateno Village is home to Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, which is where Link can obtain the Camera Rune and enhance the current Sheikah Runes such as the Bombs and Magnesis.
There are also twotraveling merchantsthat sell Fresh Milk: Agus and Yammo:
Fresh Milk Cost
Fresh Milk costs12 rupees per piece, making them fairly cheap for those on a new playthrough. East Wind sellsthree at a time, so that can potentially total to36 rupees. If players enjoy cooking inBotW, then it’s recommended to buy the entire stock when they visit. This includes if they want to buy from Agus or Yammo.
Complete “The Sheep Rustlers” Side Quest
Another way to get Fresh Milk (and for free!) is to completeThe Sheep Rustlersside quest. This can be picked up fromKoyinat theHateno PastureinHateno Village. The pasture isbetween the Hateno Village innand theHateno Ancient Tech Lab(refer to the above image for its location).
Standing outside the houseduring the dayis a young woman named Koyin. Speak to her, and she’ll tell Link about monsters raiding the pastures and taking sheep. Players will then need todefeat all the enemiesatHateno Beach. The beach is locatedsoutheast from Hateno Ancient Tech Lab. Players can literally glide down from the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab hill to the Hateno Beach.
Players will know they’re at the right location if they see a penned-in sheep.
Once they’re taken care of, return to the Hateno Pastures to get the quest reward. Koyin will give Linkx10 Fresh Milk, which is just as much as he would get from Yammo on rainy days. Also, these monsterswill not respawnduring a Blood Moon. They are exclusive to “The Sheep Rustlers” side quest. Meaning Link can’t keep going to Hateno Beach, kill them, then return to Koyin for another reward.
