Our Tears of the Kingdom horse taming guide will teach everything you need to know to find, catch, soothe, and bond with any horse you find, and how to tow a wagon.
Horses are back in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and they’re even more useful than they were in Breath of the Wild.
Our Tears of the Kingdom horse taming guide will help you find, catch, soothe, and bond with any horse you find, and then we’ll explain how you can equip the new towing harness to attach a wagon to your horse.Finding wild horses
According to Link’s Hyrule Compendium, wild horses are most common in the Hyrule Field and Akkala Highlands regions on the Surface. They tend to hang out in wide, grassy areas.
For good starter horses, look just northeast of Sinatanika Shrine in the Akkala Highlands (Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower) around (3891, 2366, 0074) or in the Hyrule Field region (Hyrule Field Skyview Tower) to the south of Jiosin Shrine around (-0253, -0563, 0019).
And don’t forget: once you get the Sensor + upgrade to the Purah Pad from Robbie during the “Presenting: Sensor +!” side adventure, you can set your Purah Pad to detect nearby horses (or anything else you’ve taken a picture of for the Hyrule Compendium).Increase your stealth to sneak up on horses
Once you’ve found a horse, your next step is to catch and mount it. The problem is that wild horses are skittish and will run away if they notice you.
The simplest way to sneak up on a horse is just to crouch by clicking the left thumbstick and approaching a horse from the back. Beyond that, though, there are a few ways to increase your stealth:
Remove your weapon, bow, and shield. It’s not a huge difference, but unequipping your weapons and shield will decrease the amount of noise Link makes while moving.
