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.

The best Nintendo franchises, ranked
Nintendo music key art that spotlights several different franchises.

With a stable of iconic franchises like Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and more, Nintendo has proven that it knows how to make a series that can stand the test of time. With many series beginning back on the NES and still going strong to this day, it is hard to even keep track of every major Nintendo franchise, let alone rank them. Plus, with more upcoming Switch games on the way, Nintendo hasn't stopped experimenting with new franchises that could end up being huge hits. We did the difficult task of looking back through every console generation, from the launch titles to the last games released on every Nintendo system, to compare and rank every franchise.
10. Splatoon

One of the newest franchises to catch on in a big way is Nintendo's take on a third-person multiplayer shooter. That wasn't a combination of words most people ever expected from a Nintendo-developed game, but the concept of spraying ink around as transforming squid kids was fresh, fun, and totally Nintendo. It has a great style that is nothing like anything else from Nintendo, or any other company for that matter. The single player mode in the last two games were great as well. Because it is such a young series and hasn't evolved much from its core, it can't quite overtake the more long-running franchises that have had the time to branch out.

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.
