How to get Wild Greens in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you might encounter the Gloom-Borne Illness quest, which requires you to find Wild Greens. However, there isn’t actually an item called “Wild Greens,” making this quest particularly tricky to complete. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find Wild Greens in Tears of the Kingdom.

The most important thing to note with this quest is the item you need is actually the Sundelion. The game is purposely vague, making it difficult to know what the actual item you need is. These items are found in various locations around Hyrule, but the most consistent way to find them is to visit a Sky Island around the following coordinates: -2,184, 0966, 1637.

It’s a small, circular Sky Island on the western portion of the map. To reach this Sky Island, we recommend launching from Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower and gliding over to it. This will require a bit of stamina so it’s best to attempt this after your stamina is upgraded a couple of times.

After you arrive, head to the northeastern side of the Sky Island, where you’ll see lots of Sundelions scattered around. Grab a handful of them and then combine them with Hylian Rice and Fresh Milk to make the Sunny Veggie Porridge.

Remember, you can certainly find Sundelions elsewhere, but this is the easiest and most consistent method — especially since you can visit the Sky Island fairly early on.

After you’ve combined all the ingredients, return to Kakariko Village and give the porridge to Lasli to complete the Gloom-Borne Illness quest.

Virtual Game Cards: what they are and how they work
Virtual Game Card

Sharing games has been a major topic ever since digital games have become more and more prevalent. We haven't reached the point where you can't get the best Switch games physically anymore, but it is more convenient to simply download a title than make the trip to purchase one. That raised the question of how sharing games would work in a digital library. Game sharing on Xbox and game sharing on PlayStation both work in a similar way, and Nintendo already has a solution as well, but Virtual Game Cards are a new way to share games with more people more easily. It is a little complex to understand and get going, so we'll break it all down so you can be ready to share the next upcoming Switch game.
What are Virtual Game Cards?

In short, Virtual Game Cards are a way to share games from your digital library with anyone. They are meant to act exactly like a physical game card, meaning you can "give" it to another person to play for a duration of time before it returns back to you. Once the feature launches, any digital game you buy will also come with a Virtual Game Card. This is another way you can manage your digital library on you Switch, but also share them.

The best Zelda spinoff games
best-single-player-nintendo-switch-games

The debate over the best Zelda games may never end. Some love the more focused 2D adventures, while others prefer the more open-world 3D games. However, there are a lot more games in the Zelda universe than the traditional games. Much like Mario spinoffs, Zelda has a wide range of spinoff games that break the traditional formula of entering dungeons, solving puzzles, and beating bosses. Some might have some of those familiar elements but tend to approach them from a more fresh perspective. We usually only get one, maybe two, games in the Zelda timeline every console generation, so why not dive into some of the best Zelda spinoffs while we wait for the next upcoming Switch game?

In the Switch’s final days, Nintendo finally gets serious about eShop moderation
Two men browse the soon to be defunct Wii U eShop.

The Nintendo eShop is notoriously full of shovel ware, money-grabs, and porn games — but the recent disappearance of many adult-oriented titles suggests Nintendo might finally be taking more steps towards moderating the shop. X user Naruki, known for tracking trends across the eShop, first spotted the change.

Despite its family-friendly image, the Nintendo eShop has long been plagued with a frankly astounding amount of NSFW titles. Since the majority of eShop operations are handled by an algorithm, these titles often appear as a great deal or a new release. Even though most are age-gated, the thumbnails are still provocative enough that it raises concern among parents.
