#i looked at the comic to make sure I didn't hallucinate that convo

Either wild is the only one that can cook because it is funny (who raised these men. Trick question, children/no one/he's still being raised, his grandmother will probably teach him in the next few years)

Or some of the others can cook, they're just either not good at it and it always tastes bland or they do not enjoy it and everyone is just fucking grateful that Wild is both good at it and enjoys doing it

I mean I have my own extensive cooking headcanons for the chain (HERE), I do believe that all of them have some ability and are not completely useless, that some of them help Wild out sometimes or are okay when there are tools and plenty of counter space, but on their own in the middle of the wilderness, they just don't compare to Wild in the slightest.

They're all extremely limited in what they're able to do, like with Twilight, he can make a good soup but he's not going to have too much goat cheese on him to make it very often and I feel like milk is one of those things you just don't come across in the wild very often.

Hyrule is the only one we've seen cooking (badly) and Malon even teases Time about being a disaster in the kitchen to the point where she says like 'If you help then something's gonna go wrong' and that to me doesn't seem like a ringing endorsement. But before this Time also says that he 'never saw himself as a cook before [he] met these boys' which implies that he at least helps Wild with it.
