How to tame a horse in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

To tame a horse, you must first locate one. Horses tend to roam in small herds in large open fields, but if you’re looking for a quick one, we recommend finding a stable. Run through the fields near a stable and you’ll have a better chance of finding some horses, unless there are key structures or mountains in the way.

When you find one, you’ll have to crouch and sneak up on a horse to tame it, just like you did in Breath of the Wild. It is very important that you sneak up behind the horse, or it will get scared and run away, or give you a nasty kick.

Once you’ve sneaked up on the horse you want, press the ‘A’ button to mount it before it moves away, then keep pressing the ‘L’ button to calm the horse down so you don’t get distracted. You will know that the wild horse has been successfully tamed when it stops jumping.

There are a wide variety of horses in Hyrule, so they are more difficult to tame than others. Solid colored horses are the toughest, so we recommend chasing a horse with painted spots at first. Keep in mind that spotted horses tend to have less stamina and speed, so you may want to upgrade to a solid-colored one later.

Once you’ve broken your horse, you’ll want to take it to a stable so you can register it and make sure you can get it back if you are separated from it. Remember to also sometimes calm your horse while you ride, building your bond with him so that he doesn’t disobey his commands in the future.

After you’ve tamed your first horse, you’ll need to learn about the new Pony Points system. And one horse you don’t have to tame at all is Epona, Link’s famous steed, but first you’ll need a BOTW save or the correct TOTK Amiibo.
