Where to find the Golden Horse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

By

In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link has more ways than ever to travel the massive world of Hyrule. Not only can you run, and glide, but you can even build your own moving contraptions. As cool as those can be, they are still limited by how much battery power you have to fuel them. Horses will always be your most reliable and safe way to travel on the ground. Just like in the previous game, horses come in all types and with various stats you can upgrade, but one stands out among all the others. We’re not talking about Epona, but the Golden Horse. You might think a horse like this would be easy to find, but it is anything but. Here’s how you can tame the Golden Horse in Tears of the Kingdom.

Where to find the Golden Horse

The Golden Horse is tied to a side quest titled “Potential Princess Sightings” given to you by Penn at the Lucky Clover Gazette. After the quest has been started, travel to the Snowfield Stable in Tabantha Tundra to find Penn again speaking to a worker named Harlow. Here you will learn about Zelda’s horse, the titular Golden Horse, that has escaped the stables and you are tasked with tracking it down.

To start, begin moving north from the stables past some ruins and enemies. You will eventually come to a large open area with a herd of horses, including the Golden Horse. Your best bet for taming it is to sneak up on it like you would any other, and prepare for a difficult time soothing it. This horse really doesn’t want to be tamed, so make sure you have a lot of stamina if you want to hold on long enough to calm it down. If you fail to tame it, don’t worry because it never goes far off from this area.

Once you’ve got the Golden Horse under control, ride it back to the stables to complete the quest. Not only will you get to keep the horse, which comes with great stats, but you also get 50 Rupees and the Royal Bride and Saddle.

In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you might encounter the Gloom-Borne Illness quest, which requires you to find Wild Greens. However, there isn't actually an item called "Wild Greens," making this quest particularly tricky to complete. In this guide, we'll show you where to find Wild Greens in Tears of the Kingdom.

The most important thing to note with this quest is the item you need is actually the Sundelion. The game is purposely vague, making it difficult to know what the actual item you need is. These items are found in various locations around Hyrule, but the most consistent way to find them is to visit a Sky Island around the following coordinates: -2,184, 0966, 1637.

How to find the Fifth Sage in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

For as open and freeform as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is, even allowing you to skip essentially every quest in the game and go straight to the final boss, you will be missing a ton by doing so. At the very least, most players will want to complete all the main quests before marching into the final encounter, which will take many hours. One quest is taking some adventurers a long time to complete, not due to its difficulty, but because they have no idea how to complete it.

The Fifth Sage quest is one of the most enigmatic in the entire game in what you're supposed to do to complete it. You're only given a single clue, and it's not a very helpful one at that.

The best horses in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

There are plenty of ways to roam the land of Hyrule in Breath of the Wild, but few are as well-developed as horse riding. Not only does the game let you tame a variety of horses found in the wild, but you can customize your horse by changing its saddle, bridle, and even its physical attributes. Toss in the ability to discover Malanya, the horse god, and there's a lot to unpack with this down-to-earth travel method.

However, not all horses are worth taming and adding to your stable. And since horse taming is a time-consuming task, it's important to know the best horses in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild so you don't waste your day chasing a steed that's not much faster than Link.
