How to get the giant horse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The giant horse can be found to the east of the Horse God Bridge in Faron. You’ll spot this beautiful animal in a gorge, wandering around next to some waterfalls. As with any horse in the game, you can simply approach it slowly and quietly, then quickly press the A button to mount it. However, calming it down is another story, as you’ll need a lot of stamina to relax this gigantic equine. If you start running low, eat some stamina-regenerating food to help keep you in the struggle.

The giant horse sports a whopping 5-star Strength, but it won’t be the fastest mount in the game at only 2-star Speed. Even so, riding around on this majestic creature can be quite a treat, so it’s worth adding it to your collection either way. Be sure you head to Highland Stable to the northeast of where you found the giant horse and register it there for future rides.

If you missed the Game Boy Advance, this handheld is built for you
KONKR Pocket Advance

The Game Boy Advance is celebrating its 25th anniversary in the US, and while Nintendo has largely chosen to honor the handheld through its Switch Online library, another company has decided to recreate the hardware itself. Chinese handheld maker Ayaneo has unveiled the Konkr Pocket Advance, a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Game Boy Advance that updates almost every part of the original while preserving the horizontal design that made Nintendo's console so beloved.

Rather than building a nostalgia piece that simply looks like the original, Ayaneo is targeting the growing retro gaming market with modern hardware. The Konkr Pocket Advance features a higher-resolution display, additional controls, USB-C connectivity and wireless support, making it less of a replica and more of a contemporary handheld inspired by one of gaming's most influential consoles.
