Today's Menu overview

Today's Menu is a short side quest that introduces cooking through a simple request from Burmano at the Emergency Shelter in Lookout Landing.

Today's Menu becomes available after Link starts Regional Phenomena. The quest takes place inside the Emergency Shelter at Lookout Landing, where the cook Burmano is trying to prepare a Fruit and Mushroom Mix but lacks one of its ingredients. Its early-game placement makes it a low-pressure way to learn that meals can be made by combining ingredients at a cooking pot.

To complete the request, speak with Burmano and provide one apple. The quest does not ask for a particular apple location or require a combat encounter; the important preparation is simply having an apple in Link's inventory before accepting or finishing the conversation. Once the ingredient is handed over, Burmano completes the dish for Link.

The finished Fruit and Mushroom Mix is the quest reward. Link can consume it to restore two hearts, making the food immediately useful during the opening portion of the adventure. Because the objective is limited to delivering one common ingredient, Today's Menu is best treated as a quick stop at Lookout Landing rather than a multi-stage expedition.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Unlock the side quest by starting Regional Phenomena.

    Start Regional Phenomena

    Today's Menu is not available until Regional Phenomena has been started. Once that prerequisite is active, travel to Lookout Landing and enter the Emergency Shelter to look for Burmano.

    Location: Lookout Landing

    TipIf Burmano does not offer the request, confirm that Regional Phenomena has been started before searching for another requirement.

  2. 02

    Accept Burmano's request.

    Speak with Burmano

    Find Burmano, the cook inside the Emergency Shelter, and speak with him to initiate the request. His problem is specific: he wants to make a Fruit and Mushroom Mix but is missing an apple.

    Location: Emergency Shelter

    Watch outThe quest cannot be completed through the shelter alone; Link must have the requested ingredient available to hand over.

  3. 03

    Provide the missing apple.

    Give Burmano one apple

    Select one apple from Link's inventory when the conversation asks for the missing ingredient. No additional ingredient is required by the supplied quest information, so the apple is the only item that needs to be delivered.

    Location: Emergency Shelter

    Checkpoint
  4. 04

    Receive the Fruit and Mushroom Mix.

    Collect the finished meal

    After receiving the apple, Burmano rewards Link with the completed Fruit and Mushroom Mix. The quest's request is resolved at this point, and the meal can be consumed to restore two hearts.

    Location: Emergency Shelter

    TipKeep the reward for a moment when Link needs a small amount of healing, since its documented effect is the restoration of two hearts.

Mission mechanics

Today's Menu is structured around ingredient delivery rather than combat or exploration. Burmano's request teaches the basic relationship between an ingredient and a finished meal: he is preparing a Fruit and Mushroom Mix and needs Link to supply one apple before the dish can be completed.

The quest also functions as a compact introduction to cooking mechanics. Instead of requiring Link to discover a complicated recipe or gather a long list of materials, it presents a single missing ingredient and immediately demonstrates the practical result through the rewarded meal.

The Fruit and Mushroom Mix is not merely a quest marker item. It can be consumed by Link and restores two hearts, so completing the request provides a small but direct recovery resource alongside the cooking tutorial.
