Adventuring through Hyrule and the Still World is a tough job in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, but our heroic princess is up to the task. She’s armed with the power of Echoes, various accessories, and even outfits to give her an advantage over the various mobs and hazards in the world. But one new trick Zelda has access to that will make her adventure much easier (and more delicious) is smoothies. These consumable items offer dozens of benefits, from health recovery to temporary stat increases. You’ll be collecting ingredients by the handful while exploring that you can give to the Business Scrub to whip up into a powerful drink. The only question becomes which ones are the best that you should spend your precious inventory slots to carry with you. Let’s explore the best smoothies in Echoes of Wisdom, what they do, and how to make them.

Each smoothie must be made at one of the various Business Scrub stands in exchange for two ingredients and 10 Rupees. There are a total of 69 different recipes to test out, which is way too many to keep in your head to remember the best ones. However, you should still make each smoothie at least once if you want to get 10 Golden Eggs easily.

Refreshing Mixed Smoothie

Nintendo

In the early game, you won’t have a ton of the more exotic ingredients to spend on more powerful smoothies, but the Refreshing Mixed Smoothie is an easy way to make sure you have plenty of HP in a pinch. It won’t give you any buffs, but will instantly fill up as many as seven hearts when you drink it, which should be more than enough for the first couple of hours.

To make the Refreshing Mixed Smoothie, use 1 Refreshing Grapes and any of the following: Riverhorse, Electro Apple, Chilly Cactus, Rock Salt, Radiant Butter, or Tough Mango.

Rapid Smoothie

This version of Hyrule isn’t flooded like in Windwaker, but you will do a surprising amount of swimming. By default, Zelda isn’t that strong of a swimmer. She can hold her breath for quite a while, but she won’t be winning any races. To speed her along, chug a Rapid Smoothie before taking a dip to heal one heart and get a one-minute boost to swim speed.

The Rapid Smoothie recipe is: 2x Riverhorse.

Chilly Potion/Piping-Hot Potion

An element back from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is, well, elements! Certain areas will be blisteringly hot or bone-chillingly cold. The Chilly Potion will give you plenty of time to explore the volcano with five minutes of fire-proof, while the Piping-Hot Potion gives you five minutes of ice-proof to swim in the frozen waters.

The Chilly Potion recipe is: 1x Chilly Cactus and 1x Monster Guts.

The Piping-Hot Potion recipe is: 1x Warm Pepper and 1x Monster Guts.

Salted Milky Smoothie

You only get a taste of playing as Link in the intro, but Zelda’s Swordfighter Form lets you adopt his moves for a limited time. Once you run out of energy, though, you need to go collect more. Or, you can drink a Salted Milky Smoothie to not only heal 10 hearts but fully restore your energy bar to get right back into the action.

You can make a Salted Milky Smoothie by combining 1x Fresh Milk and 1x Rock Salt.

Golden Tough Smoothie

The absolute best, but hard to get, smoothie is the Golden Togh Smoothie. There are a variety of Golden smoothies with different buffs, but this one is our favorite for healing 20 hearts and giving you five minutes of damage reduction. That alone can fully turn the tides of any boss fight.

Making a Golden Touch Smoothie will require 1x Tough Mango and 1x Golden Egg, which are very limited.

The best Nintendo franchises, ranked
Nintendo music key art that spotlights several different franchises.

With a stable of iconic franchises like Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and more, Nintendo has proven that it knows how to make a series that can stand the test of time. With many series beginning back on the NES and still going strong to this day, it is hard to even keep track of every major Nintendo franchise, let alone rank them. Plus, with more upcoming Switch games on the way, Nintendo hasn't stopped experimenting with new franchises that could end up being huge hits. We did the difficult task of looking back through every console generation, from the launch titles to the last games released on every Nintendo system, to compare and rank every franchise.
10. Splatoon

One of the newest franchises to catch on in a big way is Nintendo's take on a third-person multiplayer shooter. That wasn't a combination of words most people ever expected from a Nintendo-developed game, but the concept of spraying ink around as transforming squid kids was fresh, fun, and totally Nintendo. It has a great style that is nothing like anything else from Nintendo, or any other company for that matter. The single player mode in the last two games were great as well. Because it is such a young series and hasn't evolved much from its core, it can't quite overtake the more long-running franchises that have had the time to branch out.

We just got some juicy new Pokémon Legends: Z-A details
Pokemon Legends Z-A Battle Zones

During the February 2025 Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will launch in late 2025, although no specific date was revealed. Nintendo unveiled a new trailer showcasing some new information about the game, such as the baseline plot. Taking place in Lumiose City, the metropolis in Pokémon X and Y, the location is going through an urban development plan so that both people and Pokemon can coexist.

Wild Zones are areas where wild Pokemon can live within the city and can be caught. Some are hostile and may chase after you. Wild Pokemon aren't restricted to Wild Zones either, as they can be found in places like rooftop buildings.

The best Yasuke gear in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Yasuke stares down an enemy in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

After a fairly lengthy intro in Assassin's Creed Shadows, you will have access to both Naoe and Yasuke and can swap between the two as you please for the rest of the game. Your XP is shared between the two characters, but each one has their own skills to master and gear to equip. Naoe is more suited to sneaking and assassinating enemies without being detected, while Yasuke takes a more direct approach and is built for open combat. This means each one should be using the appropriate gear to support that playstyle. Weapons, armor, and trinkets are dumped on you for doing almost everything, which makes sorting through it all and finding the best gear a bit annoying. For Yasuke, these are the pieces of armor and weapons you should focus on getting.
Best Yasuke gear

Just like Naoe, Yasuke can hold two weapons, wear armor and headgear, plus equip a trinket.
Weapons
Yasuke's long katana is his old reliable primary weapon, with the best of the best being Venom Pillar. This weapon allows you to instantly charge a posture attack without holding the button by swapping between light and heavy attacks. You should be doing this naturally for better combos, buit this makes his basic attacks even more lethal. If you add the engraving that prevents your attacks from being interrupted, you become unstoppable.
