The Old Man's Diary

is a personal journal belonging to the Old Man in.

Location and Uses
The Old Man's Diary is located inside the Old Man's Cabin, resting upon the table. It chronicles the Old Man's culinary pursuits as he concocts a recipe composed of Raw Meat cooked with Spicy Peppers and Fish. He rejoices that with this recipe, he no longer needs to wear his itchy Warm Doublet while traversing the cold regions of the Great Plateau. However, in his excitement, the Old Man forgot to transcribe the ingredients for the Food he made. In the Diary, he begrudges his mistake and wishes for someone to come along and help him complete the recipe, promising to beget his Warm Doublet to the person who helped him.

If Link speaks to the Old Man outside of the Woodcutter's House afterwards, he will tell Link that he knows about his intrusion into his personal diary, but reiterates his offer to give away his Warm Doublet to him if he should be able to replicate the recipe.

Transcription
Pages 4 and 5 of the diary are only available if BotW: gives the BotW: some BotW:. Otherwise the diary will stop on page 3. The last page appears once Link has completed the BotW: "BotW:".
