Discovering Ganon’s Horse in Tears of the Kingdom

In the expansive world of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, relying solely on sprinting and climbing can be taxing. Although players can craft a variety of vehicles, sometimes the simplest solution—a loyal horse—can be the most effective means of travel. Among the many equine companions available, Ganon’s Horse stands out as a remarkable find, offering both unique attributes and a storied legacy.

Locating Ganon’s Horse

To track down Ganon’s Horse, head toward the coastal region of Hyrule, particularly south of Hateno Village. As you venture along the coastline between Hateno Beach and Deepback Bay, you’ll be able to find this majestic steed roaming freely.

Taming Ganon’s Horse

Ganon’s Horse is more than just a visually striking creature; it boasts impressive stats comparable to the Great White Stallion. With maximum strength and a wild temperament, this horse is a powerful ally, albeit a bit slow. However, players should note that its stats cannot be altered through the Horse God.

Before attempting to tame Ganon’s Horse, ensure you are well-prepared. Gathering several stamina upgrades or stamina-restoring meals is essential. As you approach the horse, remain stealthy; equipping stealth elixirs will increase your chances of success.

When you’re close enough, mount Ganon’s Horse and begin soothing it continuously. This process will require a significant amount of stamina; players typically find that having at least two full stamina wheels—or sufficient methods for stamina restoration—is necessary.

Once Ganon’s Horse is calm, you can journey back to a stable for registration. This will allow you to summon and utilize the horse from any stable across Hyrule.

The journey to the nearest stable, the Dueling Peaks Stable, can be quite lengthy. Players are advised to navigate around landmarks such as Camphor Pond, Cliffs of Quince, and the Ash Swamp to ensure a safer passage. There exists a path from Hateno Village that leads effectively to the stable.

Further Adventures in Hyrule
