Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an open-world game that allows players to explore a vast world filled with exciting adventures and surprises. One of the exciting experiences players can indulge in is horseback riding. Horses and mounts are essential in this game, and players must know how to find, tame, and care for them. Here’s how.

Finding horses/mounts

The game is set in a world filled with horses and mounts that can be used for riding. You can spot them running freely in the fields, on the outskirts of villages and towns, and in stables. However, not all horses are the same, and players should look out for unique colors and patterns, which are usually rare and stronger.

Players should look out for the stable owners, who provide information about horses and mounts in surrounding areas. You can also find horses and mounts on specific locations on the map, such as Satori Mountain, Taobab grassland, and Mount Faloraa, among others.

Taming horses/mounts

Once you spot a horse/mount you want to ride, you have to tame it. To do this, approach the horse/mount, and press the L button on your Nintendo Switch controller to lock on. Slowly approach the horse/mount, and once you’re close enough, press the A button to jump on its back.

Once you’re on the horse’s back, try to soothe it by pressing the L button and patting it with the right joystick. This technique helps calm the horse/mount, making it easier to control it. However, if the horse/mount bucks you off, approach it again and repeat the process.

Caring for horses/mounts

Caring for your horse/mount is essential to ensure it stays healthy and strong. Here are some tips for caring for horses/mounts in Zelda: Breath of the Wild:

1. Feed your horse/mount: To feed your horse/mount, open your inventory, highlight the apples, carrots, or other foods, and then drop them on the ground near the horse/mount. This action prompts the horse/mount to eat the food, increasing its bond with you.

2. Stable your horse/mount: To prevent your horse/mount from wandering off or being attacked by enemies, stable it in one of the game’s stables. The stable owners offer a range of services such as registering the horse/mount, allowing you to summon it using the whistle and healing it.

3. Choose the right saddle and bridle: The type of saddle and bridle affects your horse’s/mount’s abilities. Choose carefully considering the horse/mount’s strengths and weaknesses.

Conclusion

Horses and mounts are important in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and players should learn how to find, tame, and care for them. With this guide, players can enjoy a unique riding experience and get the most out of their journey through Hyrule.
