The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild iterated on many of the mechanics that hardcore fans of the series may recognize, but no one had seen them all in one place before. Elemental damage is one of these mechanics, and it creeps up to bite you early on in the story. This guide explains how to avoid taking Cold Damage using recipes and clothing that grant you resistance.
How to avoid Cold Damage in Breath of the WildThere are three ways to avoid taking Cold Damage in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
