Horses are your most trustworthy and lively way to travel across Hyrule. While The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom does allow you new ways to get around by building all sorts of crazy contraptions, none can ever replace a well-trained and healthy horse. Aside from just allowing Link to get around, horses can now even pull entire wagons if you get and equip them with a harness. Doing so isn't hard, but it's not exactly explained in detail. If you've got a load of materials or items you need to tow long distances, here's how you can equip and use a towing harness in Tears of the Kingdom.

How to get and use a towing harness

Aside from getting a horse, the most obscure part of this process is actually getting the towing harness itself. To do this, you will need to earn what are known as Pony Points.

Step 1: Earn at least three Pony Points by visiting new stables, registering horses at a stable, or staying at a stable overnight. Make sure you speak to the owner to collect your points and add them to the Pony Points Ledger.

Step 2: After earning three Pony Points, you will be rewarded with a towing harness.

Step 3: While on or close to your horse, speak to the stable owner and select the Customize horse option.

Step 4: Select attach a harness to put the harness on your current horse.

Step 5: You can now attach any wagons or carts you build to your horse using Ultrahand.

One thing to also keep in mind is that how well your horse can pull anything you attach is dependent on their Pull stat, so pick a horse with as many stars in this stat as possible when transporting your stuff.

How to fast travel in Starfield

Part of the appeal of games like Starfield is exploring all the planets and environments. As advertised, there are hundreds of planets you can choose to visit, and each one is massive. Once you've been somewhere, or have wandered off hundreds of meters from your ship, you may just want to fast travel back and avoid the long trek. This is a simple option you get access to almost right away, but it's easily forgotten or confused, so here's a quick rundown on how to fast travel in Starfield.

When Starfield was revealed to be a sci-fi game where you would be free to explore hundreds of planets, it raised a lot of questions. Similar statements had been made about No Man's Sky, which caused some players to attempt to make comparisons between the two space-exploration RPGs. While there are some comparisons to be made, the two are actually quite different, especially when it comes to how you will travel between planets. Here's how Starfield handles landing on planets.

How long is Starfield?

Bethesda Game Studio titles are notorious for being some of the most expansive and long-lasting RPGs of their type. Starfield is the first new IP from the studio in over a decade, and yet it follows the same basic formula of the company's staple series of having just one main quest, but hundreds of sidequests, activities, and places to explore. The difference here is you're not locked to a single landmass like in an Elder Scrolls game, but have an entire universe to explore. Before you get in the pilot seat and blast off to adventure, it's best make sure you have enough supplies to last the trip. Here's how long you can expect to spend in Starfield.
How long is Starfield?

There are a few ways to break down how long Starfield will take you. Let's start with the easiest measurement, which is how long the main story will take. If you were to only focus on following the critical path, you could probably get through Starfield in around 20 hours. That's a decent chunk of time, but will obviously only show you a fraction of what the game has to offer. Many people do ignore the main story in BGS games, however, we strongly recommend you see this story through before completely losing yourself to side content.
