==Registering== | ==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. | 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; 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 teleport it next to Link. | 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. | 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. | ||
Link cannot take out more than one registered horse at a time, as the Stables' personnel will board any registered horse that's outside. As such, multiple registered horses can be geared with the same bridle and saddle (i.e. if they're all regular horses, they can all be geared with the [[Ancient Bridle]] and [[Ancient Saddle]]). | |||

[[File:Horse-at-the-Korok-Forest.jpg|thumb|250px|<center>Horses can be taken to places with difficult access like the [[Korok Forest]] as long as the terrain and environment allows it.</center>]] | |||
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. | 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]].

[[Epona]] cannot be found within ''Breath of the Wild'', but may be obtained when the player scans certain amiibo. | [[Link's Horse]] is a special average horse found in various Type 3 Herds. It's the horse depicted in the [[Hyrule Compendium]] entry, the horse that Link rides in flashbacks, and the horse given to Link during the fight against [[Dark Beast Ganon]] if no other horses are registered, or are all boarded. Unlike other special horses, it doesn't have its own entry in the Compendium. | ||
[[Epona]] cannot be found within ''Breath of the Wild'', but may be obtained when the player scans certain amiibo. A Super Smash Bros. Link or Twilight Princess Link amiibo will always drop Epona on the first scan. Only one Epona per amiibo can exist in the world at a time; if Epona despawns before being registered, or if she is released from the stable, the same amiibo may randomly drop Epona again with very low probability. 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. | |||
As shown in the picture, places with limited movement/light can be accessed with horses, like the [[Korok Forest]] and the [[Thyphlo Ruins]]. However, due to the way Link holds [[Torch (Breath of the Wild)|torches]], bringing horses to places like the [[Lost Woods]] can start fires on the tall grass, necessitating travel by foot; regardless, horses are not subject to the maze of the Lost Woods, so they will respond to being called and come close to Link. | |||
Other places are off-limits to horses. Due to environmental impediments, horses cannot be taken to or summoned in either [[Death Mountain (Breath of the Wild)|Death Mountain]] or the [[Gerudo Desert (Breath of the Wild)|Gerudo Desert]]. As such, neither of these locations have [[Stable]]s. | |||

====Recovering Horses==== | |||
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. | |||
Horses can be saved from falling to their deaths from great heights by freezing them mid-air with Ice Arrows or other ice weapons. This will cause them to fall as a temporarily unbreakable solid block, preventing their deaths. Alternatively, teleporting mid-air while falling and then heading to a stable to retrieve it, or using the aforementioned Ancient Saddle, will bring the horse back to safety. | |||
