To get Hylian rice in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, you can find it as a random drop from cutting down grass in the South-East regions of the map like Necluda, or buy it from certain stores like those in Zora's Domain. Hylian Rice isn't something you can use by itself, but by cooking it with other foodstuffs you can make massively restoring meals that'll heal you of lost hearts. It's also an essential part of the side quest to cure the gloom-borne illness in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, so clearly it's worth knowing where you can get a steady supply of the stuff, if only to make some more of those delicious rice balls you get for supporting the Zelda Tears of the Kingdom signs. Whatever your motivation and needs, here's how to get Hylian Rice in TOTK.
How to get Hylian Rice in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
You can buy Hylian rice at the Zora's domain general shop in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. The domain itself is located in the Lanayru region of the Surface map - we've marked it down on the map just above. You'll make your way here while investigating the natural phenomena in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, being your next port of call after the Goron City phenomenon if you follow our suggested order, but you can visit anytime beforehand, too.
The Zora's domain is a watery palace, but you'll find the Hylian Rice for sale on the General Store, where it can be tracked down on the first floor for a slightly steep 12 rupees per ingredient.
It can also be bought in the store at Hateno Village, further south past Lanayru Mountain, but this is the first place we managed to find the versatile ingredient. You can also try to cut tall grass for a small chance to spawn Hylian Rice for free, which has the highest chance of dropping on the grassy plains leading to Lurelin in the Southeast corner of the map.
