Health can be restored if a save file is reloaded, or by boarding the horse back into a stable. | * The horse's gear doesn't affect its health points and doesn't protect the horse.

* Horses will follow roads marked on the map while at full gallop as long as their bond is maxed out regardless of whether the horse is registered at a stable, but may deviate if going too fast. However, even at light canter, they may not follow tributary small paths that don't appear in the map. | * Horses will follow roads marked on the map while at full gallop as long as their bond is maxed out regardless of whether the horse is registered at a stable, but may deviate if going too fast.

* [[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. | * [[Lynel]]s will take heed of Link while on horseback, but won't attack unless they're approached.

[[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. | [[Link's Horse]] is a special average horse found in various Type 3 Herds.

[[Epona]] cannot be found within ''Breath of the Wild'', but may be obtained when the player scans certain amiibo. | [[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. | As shown in the picture, places with limited movement/light can be accessed with horses, like the [[Korok Forest]] and the [[Thyphlo Ruins]].
