Best Locations for Farming Big Hearty Radishes in Tears of the Kingdom
Hearty Radishes are not easy to find, and Big Hearty Radishes are even rarer. Throw a Big Hearty Radish into a meal, and it will replenish all of Link’s hearts in addition to giving him extra temporary hearts. Here are some reliable places to score this valuable vegetable.
Big Hearty Radishes on Sky Islands
Though they are occasionally hard to get to, the sky islands hold a bounty of treasures worth pursuing. On sky islands with trees, there are sometimes Big Hearty Radishes. These three consecutive sky islands in the Necluda Sky Archipelago can be counted on to produce a couple of Big Hearty Radishes every Blood Moon:
1. The first island of North Neclude Sky Archipelago has Big Hearty Radishes growing at the base of trees. Head to these coordinates: 1841, -1011, 0961.
2. At the top of Zoanite Forge Island, the vegetable can be found growing at the roots of trees. The coordinates are: 2313, -1764, 1831. Pick up some Dazzlefruits and Skyshrooms while you’re there.
3. The last sky island of the archipelago also grows the vegetable. Find them at these coordinates: 3058, -2918, 1204.
Harvesting Big Hearty Radishes in Hateno Village
Hateno Village is a busy town dealing with mayoral elections and a changing culture. When visiting Hateno, Link can attend the lessons held in a building at the following coordinates: 3367, -1971, 0129. After completing the “Teach Me a Lesson” questline, Link will be able to ask Uma to plant crops for him.
Give her a Big Hearty Radish, and she’ll be able to grow more. She isn’t too good with radishes, so she can only grow a couple at a time. It’s a slow but reliable way to have a constant supply of the vegetable.
Scan Amiibo to find Big Hearty Radishes
Amiibo can be scanned once a day, and they provide Link with random rewards. Sometimes, the loot includes rewards exclusive to the amiibo such as paraglider fabrics and horses. Some amiibo drop Hearty Radishes and Big Hearty Radishes. If you have the following amiibo, you may be in luck: Zelda (Super Smash Bros.), Zelda (Breath of the Wild), and Toon Zelda.
To make the search for Big Hearty Radishes easier, take a picture of it using the Purah Pad’s camera. Following this, you’ll be able to program the Sensor+ to alert you when your chosen target is nearby. These Purah Pad features are unlocked by visiting Robbie at Lookout Landing.
