Adventuring through Hyrule and the Still World is a tough job in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, but our heroic princess is up to the task. She’s armed with the power of Echoes, various accessories, and even outfits to give her an advantage over the various mobs and hazards in the world. But one new trick Zelda has access to that will make her adventure much easier (and more delicious) is smoothies. These consumable items offer dozens of benefits, from health recovery to temporary stat increases. You’ll be collecting ingredients by the handful while exploring that you can give to the Business Scrub to whip up into a powerful drink. The only question becomes which ones are the best that you should spend your precious inventory slots to carry with you. Let’s explore the best smoothies in Echoes of Wisdom, what they do, and how to make them.

Each smoothie must be made at one of the various Business Scrub stands in exchange for two ingredients and 10 Rupees. There are a total of 69 different recipes to test out, which is way too many to keep in your head to remember the best ones. However, you should still make each smoothie at least once if you want to get 10 Golden Eggs easily.

Refreshing Mixed Smoothie

In the early game, you won’t have a ton of the more exotic ingredients to spend on more powerful smoothies, but the Refreshing Mixed Smoothie is an easy way to make sure you have plenty of HP in a pinch. It won’t give you any buffs, but will instantly fill up as many as seven hearts when you drink it, which should be more than enough for the first couple of hours.

To make the Refreshing Mixed Smoothie, use 1 Refreshing Grapes and any of the following: Riverhorse, Electro Apple, Chilly Cactus, Rock Salt, Radiant Butter, or Tough Mango.

Rapid Smoothie

This version of Hyrule isn’t flooded like in Windwaker, but you will do a surprising amount of swimming. By default, Zelda isn’t that strong of a swimmer. She can hold her breath for quite a while, but she won’t be winning any races. To speed her along, chug a Rapid Smoothie before taking a dip to heal one heart and get a one-minute boost to swim speed.

The Rapid Smoothie recipe is: 2x Riverhorse.

Chilly Potion/Piping-Hot Potion

An element back from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is, well, elements! Certain areas will be blisteringly hot or bone-chillingly cold. The Chilly Potion will give you plenty of time to explore the volcano with five minutes of fire-proof, while the Piping-Hot Potion gives you five minutes of ice-proof to swim in the frozen waters.

The Chilly Potion recipe is: 1x Chilly Cactus and 1x Monster Guts.

The Piping-Hot Potion recipe is: 1x Warm Pepper and 1x Monster Guts.

Salted Milky Smoothie

You only get a taste of playing as Link in the intro, but Zelda’s Swordfighter Form lets you adopt his moves for a limited time. Once you run out of energy, though, you need to go collect more. Or, you can drink a Salted Milky Smoothie to not only heal 10 hearts but fully restore your energy bar to get right back into the action.

You can make a Salted Milky Smoothie by combining 1x Fresh Milk and 1x Rock Salt.

Golden Tough Smoothie

The absolute best, but hard to get, smoothie is the Golden Togh Smoothie. There are a variety of Golden smoothies with different buffs, but this one is our favorite for healing 20 hearts and giving you five minutes of damage reduction. That alone can fully turn the tides of any boss fight.

Making a Golden Touch Smoothie will require 1x Tough Mango and 1x Golden Egg, which are very limited.

All rare gadgets in Lego Horizon Adventures and what they do
A Thunderjaw roars in Lego Horizon Adventures.

Reliving Aloy's first adventure in Lego Horizon Adventures is a streamlined but faithful retelling of the first game. However, instead of the massive open-world experiences that made the Horizon series some of the best PS5 games, this entry changes the formula to fall more in line with the best Lego games. It is a much smaller game compared to those, with way fewer collectibles. This makes it much easier to play in co-op, but it isn't without a few things you can gather up. Rare gadgets are pieces of equipment you can wear to enhance or add new abilities. Here are all the rare gadgets in the game and what cool effects they have.
Every rare gadget in Lego Horizon Adventures

Lego Horizon Adventures only has 10 rare gadgets in total that you will unlock as you progress through the story. They each serve a unique purpose and are worth experimenting with as you attempt to clean up any remaining Trophies.

The best places to land in Fortnite (Chapter 6, Season 2)
Fortnite Lawless Cover Art

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're a looper who's been around for each and every season, your likelihood of grabbing that coveted Victory Royale can be gone in a snap if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be on a mountain with no loot or a hot drop that could send you back to the lobby in no time.

As part of Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2, a new Crime-themed island has arrived with new points of interest (POIs) that change the game significantly. However, with these spots, which one is best comes down to your skill and preference. With that in mind, here are the best places to land in Fortnite for the OG sweats, beginners, and everyone in between.
The best places to land in Fortnite
Before jumping into the list, you must understand the basics of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any location with decent loot and lots of chests might serve you well, but there's more to that. Is that spot often contested by other players in the lobby? Can you farm mats easily? Is it close to other POIs? Is it too far from the Storm Circle? These recommended landing spots all have their fair share of consistency and the best loot that you'll need. They also have some quirks that make them the best depending on your playstyle.

The best gear in Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Luigi kicks a shell in Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

The Mario & Luigi series has always been a lighter take on RPGs, but still has all the core elements you expect from the genre. With Mario & Luigi: Brothership, you can count on the return of turn-based battles, puzzles, leveling up, and plenty of gear to find, buy, and equip to alter your stats. This isn't the most challenging RPG on the market, but not upgrading or maximizing your gear can certainly make it far more challenging than it needs to be. You will need to manage both Mario and Luigi's gear individually with dozens of ways to build their abilities. Before you invest in that expensive pair of gloves or shiny pair of boots, let us point you in the right direction on what the best gear is in Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
Best gear in Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Gear can be broken down into five categories: Boots, Hammers, Wear, Gloves, and Accessories. In total, each brother can equip up to five pieces of gear. Some gear can be found, while most needs to be purchased or crafted as you go through the game. We'll run through the best one or two for each category for each of the brothers.
Best gear for Mario

Starting at the bottom, the best Boots for Mario are the Gobblick Boots DX. These give you Jump +123 and Stache +5 but also give you 10% of damage dealt back as HP so you can keep on the attack and not worry about healing as often.
