The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom builds upon the Hyrule established in Breath of the Wild by incorporating familiar mechanics and materials. Thanks to the Gloom infecting the world, however, much of that familiar world has changed, including the availability of key ingredients like Hylian Rice and Tabantha Wheat. There are still some reliable sources for these ingredients, though, and this guide outlines all the best ways to get Tabantha Wheat in Tears of the Kingdom.

Tabantha Wheat can be more easily found by chopping grass with a sword in the Tabantha Frontier. Players should pack some cold-resistance armor or meals and head to any point on the map in the Tabantha Frontier area. Swinging any weapon with a blade (Sword, Claymore, Reaper, etc) in grassy areas will eventually drop Tabantha Wheat. It'll take a couple of swings, but it's free. Plus, for some reason, this is also a great way to get an abundance of Hot-Footed Frogs.
