Horse (Breath of the Wild): Difference between revisions

{{quote|These can most often be found on plains. Their usefulness as transportation has made them valuable since ancient times. That said, wild horses do tend to get spooked and run off when approached, so if you're looking to snag one, it's best to sneak up on it.|Hyrule Compendium Entry}}

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', horses (001 in the [[Hyrule Compendium]]) can be found throughout [[Hyrule]]. They can most frequently be found in wide open fields, such as in [[Hyrule Field (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Field]] or in the [[Faron Grasslands]], but can also be found on mountains, snowfields, and even coastlines. Some horses can be found wild, and these ones tend to stay on flat, wide plains. Others are found with [[Bokoblin]]s on horseback, these ones can generally be found in more varied landscapes. In order to ride horses, [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] must sneak up on one, mount it, and may have tame it at the cost of stamina.

Horses with two-toned bodies (as well as [[Epona ]]), and solid pink or light brown horses) require no stamina to tame, however, they are the ones that usually have lower quality stats. Horses with solid-coloured bodies tend to have better stats, and some can be considered among the best horses in the game.

Additionally, there is no way to decrease your bond with the horse.

* '''Stamina''' - How many spurs the horse has (how many times you can gallop);

| Gentle || Solid light brown<br />Solid pink<br />Mottled || ★ - 100hp<br />★★ - 130 or 150hp<br />★★★160hp || ★★ - 9.8m/s / 14.4m/s<br />★★★ - 10.5m/s / 15.9m/s || 2 to 3 spurs<br />1:1 with stars  

In every herd of wild horses, there will be one horse that is the leader of the other 2-3 horse that are considered followers. In general, the leader will have stats superior to the followers, and it will always have a wild temperament.

Horses ridden by [[Bokoblin]]s are always Gentle and have already have a bond of 100. They either have Strength/Speed/Stamina of 2/2/2, 2/2/3 or 1/3/2.

Horses in the game spawn in groups of 3 or 4, mostly Gentle in nature, as detailed in the Herds section.

* [[Lynel]]s will take heed of Link while on horseback, but won't attack unless they're approached. They may wield their weapons and bows in some cases. As such, the faster Link rides away from them, the better.

To keep a horse, Link must register the horse at a [[Stable]]. To register a horse, Link must name him, and pay a fee of 20 [[Rupees]]. Only five horses may be registered at time; to register a new horse once the limit has been reached, one must be let go; it's stated by the given Stable attendant that the let go horse will join other regular horses at the stable. After a horse has been registered, it can be named and is equipped with a saddle and bridle. A registered horse's location is marked on the world map and it can be whistled for as long as it is within hearing distance.

If the horse is equipped with the [[Ancient Saddle]], whistling will instantly teleport it next to Link, no matter the distance.
