Restoring Malanya does not bear any influence on armor upgrading like the rest of the [[Great Fairy|Great Fairies]] do, nor the price required to revive it is influenced by the other Great Fairies. Malanya is not particularly close to any [[Shrine of Trials]] or [[Sheikah Tower]] (the closer being [[Ka'o Makagh Shrine]]), but it's considerably easier to reach than the [[Great Fairy Tera]], as there are no environmental impediments to reaching it.

"So... you would like to revive this horse? This one, specifically? I can do that, of course! But... what is this... This horse says that YOU killed it! You! How could you?! Do you plan to revive it just to kill it again? Are horses only a tool to you? Do you treat their noble lives so casually that you'd use them and throw them away? If I were a horse right now... I'd kick you in the chest! I... jest. You accidentally struck the horse, I'm sure. Would you like to revive this loyal, temporarily betrayed friend?"

— Malanya

Malanya is the god who watches over the horses of the world. He makes his home in the Faron Region in the Malanya Spring, near the Lake of the Horse God, though he has been trapped in a Great Fairy Fountain-like flower bud for an unspecified length of time, and requires 1,000 Rupees to regain his power.

Once Malanya's power is restored, at any time Link can go to them to have a horse who was registered to Link when it died revived. Malanya cannot revive a horse if that would give Link more than five registered horses, although they will offer to release one of his current horses to bring him below that limit.

Grateful for being released, Malanya's first revival of a horse will be for free, but further attempts will elicit Malanya asking for one Endura Carrot per horse.[1]

Other Considerations

Malanya closely resembles the horse head constructs on top of Stables all across Hyrule, and their facial designs are reminiscent of Malanya's headdress, suggesting a connection to the god as a sort of effigy. The fact that Malanya only revives horses that are registered at stables further lends to this implication. It's also offhandedly stated in the game that there is a god that protects stables[2], implied to be Malanya.

Restoring Malanya does not bear any influence on armor upgrading like the rest of the Great Fairies do, nor the price required to revive it is influenced by the other Great Fairies. Malanya is not particularly close to any Shrine of Trials or Sheikah Tower (the closer being Ka'o Makagh Shrine), but it's considerably easier to reach than the Great Fairy Tera, as there are no environmental impediments to reaching it.

One I've only eaten once in all my many years... an Endura Carrot! I make it look easy, but it takes a lot of energy to revive horses. Sometimes I just need a boost before I undo DEATH! So are you going to hand over an Endura Carrot? - Malanya
