There are a wide variety of mounts you can ride in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and you may want to add as many as possible to your stable so you can call on them whenever you’d like. But what if you could add a massive horse to that lineup and summon the towering beast anytime you’d like? Well, good news – you can do precisely that by taming the giant horse. This beautiful oversized mount doesn’t take much beyond a good bit of stamina and a bit of patience, so let’s take a look at where you can find it.

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.

Fans are excited for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom for a lot of reasons, but chief among them is that you can finally play as Princess Zelda after decades of playing as Link. However, that doesn't mean Link is completely out of the picture. In fact, it's looking like he's still playable in some capacity.

The ESRB has rated the game E10+ due to fantasy violence, and the official page for that information contains a short summary of said violence. It describes Zelda's combat style (she has a magic wand called a Tri Rod that can summon creatures), but also Link's. Specifically, as Link, you can "use a sword and arrows to defeat enemies."

Nintendo just proved me wrong about the Switch
Zelda stares at a landscape in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

It was only one month ago when I proclaimed that the Nintendo Switch was in its "filler era." At the time, Nintendo was riding a wave of re-releases and left-field oddities that made it clear that its console's life was winding down. We were knee deep in a return to the Nintendo 3DS' final days, with the console going out quietly as developers saved their big guns for Nintendo's next system.

Now, I'm eating my words. And I'm happy to do it.
