| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', horses (001 in the [[Hyrule Compendium]]) can be found throughout [[Hyrule]], particularly in fields such as [[Hyrule Field]] or the [[Faron Grasslands]]. In order to ride horses, [[Link]] must sneak up on one and then mount and tame it at the cost of stamina. | | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', horses (001 in the [[Hyrule Compendium]]) can be found throughout [[Hyrule]], particularly in fields such as [[Hyrule Field]] or the [[Faron Grasslands]].

| ====Taming and Bonding====
| |
| [[File:Horse-stats-pane.PNG|thumb|250px|<center>View of the [[White Horse]]'s stats when registered at a [[Stable]]; displayed are its strength, speed, stamina, temperament and bond</center>]]
| |
|
| |
| Mottled white/brown/black horses require little to no stamina to tame, albeit they have the lowest stats available in the game. Solid-colored horses tend to have better stats, and some can be considered among the best horses in the game.
| |
|
| |
| Soothing horses is done by the number of button presses to soothe it:
| |
|
| |
| * Regular horses and other tameable animals require 15 (mostly), 18 or 25 presses.
| |
| * The [[White Horse]] requires 25 presses.
| |
| * The [[Giant Horse]] requires 30 presses.
| |
|
| |
| Ideally, these presses should be done before the stamina gauge runs out, so the more stamina Link has, the easier it is to soothe.
| |
|
| |
| '''Bonding''' is measured in a scale of 100 points. The higher the bond, the more obedient the horse is to Link. A horse with a high bond will travel along roads without needing direction from Link. There are three ways to bond with a horse:
| |
|
| |
| * One can soothe a horse after a gallop, which increases the bond by 3 points;
| |
| * One can soothe a horse after it deviates from the path and one regains control, which increases the bond by 5 points;
| |
| * One can feed the horse [[Apple]]s, which will give 10 points per apple.
| |
|
| |
| ====Statistics====
| |
|
| |
| There are two different types of horses in the game depending on their '''temperament''', namely Gentle and Wild. Gentle horses tend to have worse stats, while Wild horses have better ones. Their stats can be classified like this:
| |
|
| |
| * '''Strength''' - How many hit points the horse has / how much damage it can take;
| |
| * '''Speed''' - How fast the horse is;
| |
| * '''Stamina''' - How many spurs the horse has.

| |
| * The horse's gear doesn't affect its health points. Also, a horse's health cannot be restored by feeding it. Health can be restored if a save file is reloaded, or by boarding the horse back into a stable.
| |
| * Ramming enemies with the horse produces 30hp attack, while attacking with melee weapons doubles the weapon's attack output.
| |
| * The [[Giant Horse]] cannot gallop, but has the fastest canter in the game at 14.8m/s.
| |
| * The horse's stamina can be enhanced with two additions. The [[Ancient Bridle]] adds two extra spurs, and feeding the horse gives it three temporary spurs.
| |
| * To date, no wild horse in the game has ever been found to have 5-star stats in all Strength, Speed and Stamina gauges (though the [[Lord of the Mountain]] is assumed to have perfect stats, it cannot be registered in a stable, so its stats are not visible).
| |
| * Horses ridden by the various types of [[Bokoblin]]s do not need to be tamed, and are usually Gentle in nature.
| |
|
| |
| ====Registering====
| |
|
| |
| To keep a horse, Link must register the horse at a [[Stable]]. Only five horses may be registered at time; to register a new horse once the limit has been reached, one must be let go. 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 teleport it next to Link.
| |
|
| |
| After registering the horse, its stats can be viewed while boarded at the stable. For each horse, its strength, speed, stamina, and temperament is documented. Also recorded is the horse's bond with Link.
| |
|
| |
| ====High Stats Horses====
| |
|
| |
| Horses in the game spawn in groups of 3 or 4, mostly Gentle in nature.
| |
|
| |
| The best horses in the game (of the Wild variety) can be found in [[Upland Lindor]] and the [[Taobab Grasslands]]. The horses that can be found there range from:

| |
| |-
| |
| | Stamina || ★★★★★ || ★★★★★ || ★★★★ || ★★★
| |
| |}
| |
|
| |
| Some of these high-stats horses may require up to 25 presses of the soothe button to control, so keep that into consideration.
| |
|
| |
| ====Special Horses and Other Considerations====
| |
|
| |
| In addition to the standard wild horses, a few special horses can be found in Hyrule: the [[Giant Horse]], the [[White Horse]], the [[Lord of the Mountain]], and the [[Stalhorse]]. The giant and white horses can be registered while the other two cannot. Other tameable animals like stags and bears can be ridden to the stables, but cannot be registered either.
| |
|
| |
| [[Epona]] cannot be found within ''Breath of the Wild'', but may be obtained when the player scans certain amiibo. The Super Smash Bros. Link and the Twilight Princess Link amiibo will drop Epona on the first scan only. Other amiibo, such as the Super Smash Bros. Zelda amiibo, may drop Epona at random. She can only be received once per amiibo and must be registered at a stable in order for Link to keep her. However, Epona can be received multiple times from different amiibo, and each Epona received may be registered making it possible to have more than one Epona in ''Breath of the Wild''. Epona has her own saddle and bridle that cannot be changed, and her bond with Link is already maxed out.
| |
|
| |
| Horses can become stuck on crevices or on the sides of mountains and cliffs with no way out. In those cases, speaking with the attendant at stables will recover the horse from said places. Otherwise, the only alternative is for the horse to wear the [[Ancient Saddle]], which can make the horse teleport next to Link.
| |
|
| |
| Horses can be killed by the player or during combat, but unlike other animals, they drop no loot. Registered horses that have been killed can be revived by the [[Horse God Malanya]] at [[Malanya Spring]] in south [[Faron (Breath of the Wild)|Faron]] once unlocked.
| |
|
| |
| ====Customization====
| |
| [[File:Customizing register horse.jpg|thumb|right|Phanna offers to customize Link's horse]]
| |
| Horses can be customized at a variety of Stables, including the [[Outskirt Stable]], but their bond with Link must be at max before this can be carried out. Every horse except the Giant Horse and Epona can change their [[Gallery:Breath of the Wild Key Items#Horse Armor|saddles and bridles]], which can be obtained in different locations around Hyrule; aside from those, the [[Royal Bridle]] and [[Royal Saddle|Saddle]] may only be worn by the [[White Horse]].
| |
|
| |
| Additionally, Link has the option to change the style of his horse's '''mane''', if he so desires. There are ten styles, listed below:

Horses are recurring animals in The Legend of Zelda series.
Appearances
Ocarina of Time
Horses can only be found in Lon Lon Ranch, either in the stable or out on the main field. As Child Link, they can be seen running around on the track. It is only possible to ride horses as an adult however. There are only two horses that can be ridden in Ocarina of Time, Epona, and one of the ranch horses during Ingo's Horse Race mini-game. Ganondorf also owns a horse, as can be seen in the opening sequence of the game and after Link has collected the three Spiritual Stones.
Majora's Mask
There are multiple horses seen in Majora's Mask, including Epona, Cremia's horse, and the horses belonging to the Gorman Brothers. Epona can be seen in the opening sequence of the game, before being stolen by Skull Kid. She is later found at Romani Ranch.
Twilight Princess
Only a few horses are present in Twilight Princess, Epona being one, along with Telma's horse, which can be seen during the escort mission to Kakariko Village. Epona can be ridden right from the get-go in this game, first getting action by herding goats for Fado during the opening portion of the game, and later on for a Piece of Heart. Twilight Princess is one of the only games in the series where Ganondorf seems to own a horse, being present during the horseback battle at the end of the game.
The Minish Cap
Epona returns once more in The Minish Cap, but this time she cannot be ridden by Link. She can be seen in Hyrule Town with Malon, after the door to the ranch house has been unlocked, carrying milk that is purchasable by Link.
Breath of the Wild
- Main article: Horse (Breath of the Wild)
"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 Breath of the Wild, horses (001 in the Hyrule Compendium) can be found throughout Hyrule, particularly in fields such as Hyrule Field or the Faron Grasslands. In order to ride horses, Link must sneak up on one and then mount and tame it at the cost of stamina.
