Location and Uses

Breath of the Wild

Fortified Pumpkins are one of three foodstuffs favored by the Sheikah race, with the others being Swift Carrots and Mighty Bananas. They are primarily and exclusively cultivated by the Sheikah farmer Olkin, who sells 8 from his field in Kakariko Village. Olkin sells the Fortified Pumpkins he grows from Olkin's Pumpkins because his rival, Steen, refuses to have them stocked at his wife's shop. There are nine Pumpkin plants in the patch, yet only eight bear fruit. During the evening, Olkin's wife Mellie Cooks him dishes containing many Fortified Pumpkins, which Olkin feels is better than Swift Carrots. Some may also be purchased from the Wandering Merchant Cambo, and Hinoxes have a chance to drop them upon their defeat.

Eaten raw, Fortified Pumpkins restore half of a Heart. They can also be roasted by a Fire or Scorching Climate to create Baked Fortified Pumpkins. When Cooked in a dish, the resulting Meal temporarily provides Link with Defense Up. At the Kochi Dye Shop, Fortified Pumpkins can be used to create Orange Dye.

As part of the Side Quest "Riddles of Hyrule", Walton will ask Link to bring him Kakariko Village's specialty fruit, which has rock-hard flesh. If Link returns with a Fortified Pumpkin, Walton will be excited he figured the riddle out and move on to the next one.
