Zelda Breath Of The Wild Horse Locations And How To Tame Them

Exploring Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is vastly improved when riding a reliable mount. Traversing the open plains on horseback allows Link to reach distant shrines, stables, and points of interest much faster than running on foot. Understanding where to find the best wild horses and how to approach them silently is essential for any adventurer.

Best Locations to Find Wild Horses in Hyrule

Wild horses can be found grazing in open fields across various regions of Hyrule. Prominent spots include the Dueling Peaks Fields, Upland Lindor, and Taobab Grassland. Players looking for solid-colored horses with superior stamina and speed should check areas further from central stables.

The Taobab Grassland in the Lake Tower region is particularly famous for housing the Giant Horse. Meanwhile, the Royal White Stallion can be discovered near Sanidin Park Ruins on Salari Hill. Exploring these locations early provides players with powerful mounts that make late-game travel seamless.

Stealth Techniques for Approaching Wild Horses

Taming a wild horse requires a cautious approach, as loud noises will easily startle them. Players should crouch and walk slowly from behind or glide down from high elevation directly onto the horse's back. Equipping stealth-boosting armor or consuming stealthy meals significantly reduces the chance of detection.

Spotted or gentle horses are much easier to approach and tame than solid-colored ones. However, wild solid-colored horses offer far better speed and strength stats once successfully calmed. Approaching these wild mounts during rainy weather can also help mask Link's footsteps.

Calming and Soothing Your New Mount

Once Link mounts a wild horse, it will immediately attempt to buck him off. Players must repeatedly press the soothe button before Link runs out of stamina. Having stamina-restoring dishes or elixirs in your inventory is vital when attempting to tame wild high-tier horses.

After successfully riding the horse without getting thrown off, you must continuously soothe it while traveling. Pressing the soothe button whenever the horse follows steering commands or slows down builds affection over time. High affection ensures the mount responds instantly to your directions without resisting.

Registering and Customizing Horses at Stables

To keep a newly tamed horse permanently, players must ride it to any stable scattered across Hyrule. Speaking to the stable master allows you to register the mount for a small fee of twenty rupees. Once registered, you can name your horse, equip custom saddles or bridles, and call it from any stable in the realm.

Stables also offer options to change the mane style and gear of fully tamed horses. Keeping registered horses safe is important, though the Horse God Malanya can revive fallen mounts if needed. Managing your stable collection ensures you always have the perfect horse for every journey.
