Herbs for the Hylian Kitchen Linktober 2022 - Day 29 - Botanical [IMAGE ID: Pen and marker drawings of various herbs that are used in food in the cooking-mechanic in Breath of the Wild. A pair of sprigs of Hyrule Herb are at top, tied with a yellow ribbon. They are plants with a small yellow bulb of tightly-packed leaves nestled within a bloom of green leaves and the stems are covered in bristly needle-leaves reminiscent of dill or rosemary. A pair of Armoranth bulbs are beside it - they are purple and resemble tiny artichokes. On the bottom of the grouping is a pair of sprigs, tied with pink ribbon, of Warm Saffina, a plant with sage-like leaves and rows of red flowers somewhat like lupine. There is hand-written text reading “Herbs for the Hylian Kitchen Essential Pantry Stocks.” / END IMAGE ID]. A splash-page for an introductory-chapter in a hypothetical Hylian-cuisine cookbook. I know that there was a limited-edition fan-made cookbook out there (that I wasn’t able to get) and I’ve seen a Youtube video where a couple of cooks attempted to make every dish in the game - unfortunately rushed due to the need of someone else to use the kitchen and unfortunately following all of the recipes EXACTLY without taking any inference what might be additional materials (example: No salt unless the recipie called for a chunk of rock salt, which the game actually treats more like a salt-encrusting. I honestly imagine that Link probably uses pinches of salt once in a while even when he doesn’t need to in-game to make food). A relation of mine has gifted me both the Elder Scrolls cookbook and the Official Vault Dweller’s Cookbook (Fallout) and I’ve made various recipes from each and have some favorites. (I make Potage le Manifique from heart now, no need to even look at the recipe anymore, from the Elder Scrolls book because I make it quite frequently because I love it very much. I like the “Iguana on a Stick” marinade in the Vault Dweller’s - though not on duck as the recipe calls, instead I’ve used chicken or a combo of beef and chicken bits and it’s amazing. I’ve made various forms of Nuka-Cola and favor the Quantum). Seeing as I try to recreate some of the Zelda recipes when getting creative in the kitchen, I would just tear up my kitchen if I had a Zelda / Breath of the Wild cookbook! Make it official, Nintendo! Perfect combination of my interests - cooking and nerd stuff! And... it’s honestly one of my favorite things to do in the game.

hi! i was wondering if you can give more insight into the everyday life and amenities in the vault? do people have a lot of material possessions, what type of clothes they wear, what kind of food they eat and if food's hard to come by or rationed? is there a monetary or rationing system? sorry for all the q's, i just want to know the setting more! tysm

thank sooo much for these lovely questions. i lovelovelove making headcanons about the vault tbh. i think the appeal of the fallout shelter/vaults concept is that u can really make it anything u want!! i planned to make a post about it soon but no better time than the present~~!! (might make a better, more organized and detailed post of headcanons in the future.) this post is quite L O N G, but i think also quite informative, so i hope our members take the time to read through it c:

dwellers definitely have their own material possessions, whether inherited from family (first generation dwellers were allowed to bring in a limited amount of precious items), obtained from within the vault (ex. the standard yellow jumpsuit dwellers are given to wear if they don’t have any clothes of their own, outfits crafted in the outfit workshop, etc.) or brought in from the wasteland by explorers (ex. clothes, blankets, weapons, armor, etc.). when explorers bring in supplies from the wasteland, the overseer distributes them equally among dwellers, or gives them to whomever needs them most (ex. better guns and armor are given to guards and dwellers who work in rooms that are easily accessible to raiders or are frequented by radroaches or mole rats). though explorers are tasked to bring back items that can be useful for making things (ex. duct tape, hammer, glue, animal hide, etc.) or for improving work rooms (ex. a microscope for the laboratory, scissors for the barber, books for the classrooms, yarn for the outfit workshop, etc.), it’s not uncommon for dwellers who are friends with explorers to ask them to bring back little trinkets (ex. pocketbooks, toys, holodisks, etc.) you can use this list of items that can be found in the game itself as a reference! (oh, and explorers are all given a pip-boy!)

as for clothes, all dwellers are given a standard plain yellow jumpsuit, but it’s their choice whether they want to wear this uniform or something else. the fashions/trends in URK at the time the dwellers moved into the vault was 80′s/minimalist (yes, irony! but urk made it work–think 80′s style with minimalist color palettes), so styles haven’t changed muchsince then. there are definitely a handful of girls walking around in scrunchies, pale pink leg warmers, off the shoulder tops and ruffled skirts; as for guys, preppy 80′s fashion dominated, but it’s not uncommon to see a bomber jacket or two. there are no uniforms that are room-specific, but it’s typical for dwellers that work in the same area to wear similar clothes to work (ex. workers in the nuclear reactor are commonly seen sporting military fatigues or radiation suits, medbay and science lab workers are seen in white clothing like lab coats, guards are seen wearing metal armor,etc.) feel free to base your ideas off of this canon list of clothes!

as for food, the vault uses food synthesizers and hydroponic farms to produce food. all food consumed is made within the vault to ensure that it’s not affected by any form of radiation (although irradiated water has caused a number of deaths in the past.) recycling is a big, big thing in the vault, and recycling rules are followed strictly. vault-tec also stored a sizable stockpile of packaged food (ex. just-add-water noodles, heat-n-serve tv dinners, dried fruits, etc.) in the vault, along with emergency food rations for desperate times. vault-tec claimed that dwellers won’t run out of food for up to 400 years. at the present time, the vault has no problem with food production, as there is a large, active garden, and few dwellers to feed. (you can even find The Official Vault Dwellers’ Cook Book by Vault-Tec and the URK in the vault’s library! starring popular urk favorites such as kimchi jjigae, tteokbokki, etc. typically, this is used by diner workers.) dwellers can order food at the diner at any time, which serves dishes that are largely composed of vegetables–meat dishes can only be found on the menu about twice a month, and the meat is usually from vault-tec packages since the vault doesn’t raise livestock. there are also a few vendor-bots around the vault that can provide snacks and beverages.

as for the vault’s monetary system, dwellers barter with each other to trade personal affects such as clothes, blankets, books, trinkets, etc. necessities such as food and water are made readily available to dwellers at any time. there is no strict rationing system in place except for gambling chips at the game room and alcohol (both of which all dwellers have equal and limited access to–

gambling chips can only be acquired twice a month from the vendo-bot that supplies it at the door of the game room–this bot logs dwellers’ usage by requiring a fingerprint scan everytime a dweller withdraws chips. additionally, gambling is done only for fun and not for profit. any gambling chips won cannot be exchanged for any kind of prize and must be given back to the vendo-bot.

dwellers are entitled to two glasses of the vault’s stored alcohol every month, that which they can acquire at the lounge, and must consume before they leave. similar to gambling chips, a vendo-bot oversees the provision of alcohol and requires a fingerprint scan for each glass acquired.

legal drinking age is 19!

note that the overseer has the power to grant exceptions (ie. water purification canon being given access to more alcohol than the rest), and that dwellers think so highly of the overseer that they see these exceptions as well deserved and a mark of good work done for the vault–that doesn’t mean no one will judge you, though.)

lax rationing is a system that has been passed down from the very first overseer and the first generation of dwellers. most of them were quite spoiled on earth, and remained quite spoiled in the vault. however, instead of a strict rationing system implemented by the overseer, there exists a strong culture of being judged for taking excessively. gluttony is seen as a very ugly trait. for example, eating at the diner five times in one day is extremely frowned upon, and might even result in other dwellers thinking that you’re lazy and not working hard enough.

as for amenities, vault 752 is quite luxurious. the materials used and the furniture appear to be of high quality and all the rooms offered by vault-tec are available to be used (ex. game room, lounge, etc.) all rooms are open to all dwellers.

most of the headcanons about the vault are taken from fallout shelter, the game itself, however, there are a few differences here and there~~ i hope this was helpful. sorry it was a little allover the place hhh. this is just general stuff, so members can feel free to make more specific headcanons of their own. (might be helpful to check out this fallout wiki page about technology in the vault!). if u have any more questions, we would be more than happyto answer them!
