Even though Legend of Zelda is all about saving Princess Zelda and Hyrule, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom allows players to invest in farming. To farm crops in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you must first unlock your farm.
As with all games, farming in TotK is quite lucrative, allowing you to get all the ingredients you need to cook food or sell them to earn more rupees. This guide will help you start your farm in the game.
How to unlock your Farm in Zelda: TotK
You can start unlocking your farm after you have unlocked the Camera ability in Zelda: TotK. Unlock this ability and then head to Hateno Village. You need to find Symin at Hateno School. Hateno School itself is outside the Hateno Village, to its north.
You can find Symin alone in the school at noon, as all the students will be out of class. If you try to find him any other time, he won’t give you the quests required. You will find Symin at the following coordinates: (3356, -2129, 0121).
Talk to Symin to get the “Teach me a Lesson” quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This multi-part quest will take you to Kakariko Village and take a picture of Calamity inside Paya’s House.
The next part involves creating a monster meal and teaching the students that it is edible. Once you have completed both side quests, you will gain access to the farming field outside the Hateno Village School.
How to grow crops in Zelda: TotK
The farm is located directly southwest of the school. But as a warrior, you need some help growing your crops. Farming is relatively easy in Zelda: TotK and won’t take much time off your adventuring.
To take care of your farm, you need to talk to Uma so she can help you maintain your farm. Uma is directly behind the school, at (3333, -2032, 0117) coordinates.
Talk to Uma, and she will guide you through farming crops in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. On your new farm, you can learn to plant Pumpkins, Carrots, Tomatoes, Wildberries, Wheat, Rice, and Melon.
Talking to Uma also allows you to choose what crop you want to grow for yourself. Uma will grow the crops and take care of them as well. As such, you can freely leave and do whatever you need.
Uma has less experience with various crops like Endura Carrots. Selecting these crops will result in less yield.
Your crops will be ready in two in-game days. This only works as long as you are away from the farm, so leave after you tell Uma what to grow and come back after 48 minutes or two in-game days to get your crops.
You cannot grow multiple crops at once in Zelda: TotK. You must choose whatever crop you need so you don’t have an issue committing to your crop.
Recommended Crops to Grow
While you can grow any crop from the above list, we recommend growing Endura Carrots and Hearty Radish as much as possible. Both are highly desirable crops that can be used to craft meals with stamina- or health-restoring properties.
