The '''Giant Horse''' is a special type of [[Horse (Breath of the Wild)|Horse]] found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]''.


The '''Giant Horse''' is a special type of [[Horse (Breath of the Wild)|Horse]] found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. There is only one to be found in [[Hyrule]], and it rests in the [[Taobab Grasslands]], in the Lake Tower Region. It can be found in a clearing surrounded by several other horses. It is easily distinguishable, due to its unique black and orange pattern, as well as its hefty size. It closely resembles [[Ganondorf]]'s horse, and is assumed to be related to the latter.

There is only one Giant Horse to be found in [[Hyrule]], and it rests in the [[Taobab Grasslands]], in the [[Lake Tower Region]]. It can be found in a clearing surrounded by several other horses.

Link must tame this beast and ride it back to the [[Mounted Archery Camp]] in order to complete the side quest [[Hunt for the Giant Horse]]. It's required for the player to press the soothe button 30 times before Link's stamina runs out. To ride the Giant Horse to the Mounted Archery Camp, Link must ride it south through the [[Oseira Plains]]. This includes coming across two [[Lynel]]s on the way, so be careful. After clearing the plains, Link must veer left and cross the [[Nautelle Wetlands]] and the [[Darybon Plains]], in which you will likely encounter a pack of mounted [[Bokoblins]].

As part of the quest ''[[Good-Sized Horse]]'', the Giant Horse '''cannot''' be sold to Zyle, as he refuses to buy it since it's too big for him to ride.

==''Tears of the Kingdom''==
[[File:Giant Horse - TotK Compendium Full.png|250px|right|Default ''Tears of the Kingdom'' Hyrule Compendium picture of the Giant Horse]]
The Giant Horse can be found on the [[Hateno Beach]] on a grass field between [[Hateno Bay]] and [[Deepback Bay]] with several other horses, at coordinates {{TotKcoords|4143|-2454|0109}}. There is no quest related to finding it.
The ''Tears of the Kingdom'' save file will transpose all horses registered in the main save file from ''Breath of the Wild''; as such, if the Giant Horse is included on those, it will appear on the player's registered horses in ''Tears of the Kingdom'' and the player won't have to look for it and register it again, nor the horse will spawn on its location in the newer game.
There is another giant horse in the game, the [[Giant White Stallion]], although this is a separate breed with a different [[Tears of the Kingdom Hyrule Compendium|Hyrule Compendium]] entry.
