Where to get a skeletal horse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Part of the appeal of any open world is finding fun and unique ways to navigate it — and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is absolutely overflowing with creative transportation methods. However, sometimes you just want to keep things simple with a tried-and-true horse. You could always find and stable any number of normal horses across Hyrule, but if you’re fancying something that feels a bit more dark and creepy, you’ll want to round up a skeletal horse. Here’s how to find a skeletal horse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Where to get a skeletal horse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

If you want to ride these rare mounts around Hyrule, perhaps the easiest spot to round up skeletal horses is at Sanidin Park Ruin, across the river to the west of Mount Daphnes. If you visit this location late at night, you should spot plenty of skeletal horses wandering around the ruins. You can mount them like any other horse — just slowly walk over to their side while they’re standing still and quickly tap the A button.

Meanwhile, herds of skeletal horses can also be found deep underground in the pitch-dark Depths. You’ll certainly stumble upon plenty of chasms leading to the Depths during your journey through Hyrule, so getting down there shouldn’t pose too much of a problem.

However, finding skeletal horses can take a bit of exploration — something that is rather challenging unless you’ve brought along plenty of brightbloom seeds to light your way. With enough time spent scouring the Depths, though, you’re certain to find some.

Unfortunately, as with the skeletal horses from Breath of the Wild, you can’t actually stable these undead equines. That means you’re free to use them as a trusty stead for a period of time, but you’ll never be able to save them for use later. If you’re in the Depths, you can continue to use them for as long as you’d like, presumably, but those found above ground will disappear at 5 a.m. in-game time.

How to get the Zora Armor set in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

You may have noticed a lot of waterfalls coming down from the sky in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, especially if you've been exploring in or around Lanayru and Zora's Domain. If you're wondering whether you can use them in any way, the answer is a resounding yes — provided you've got the right armor. You'll need at least one piece of Zora's Armor set to swim up waterfalls, but there are three pieces in total for you to find. We've got the locations of all three pieces listed for you below.
How to get Zora's Armor in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
There are three pieces of Zora's Armor set, but you'll only need one if you want to swim up waterfalls. The chest piece – known simply as Zora's Armor – can be obtained with relative ease, so we recommend aiming for that first. Regardless of which piece(s) you decide to go for, though, here are all their locations.
Zora's Helm
While there is a quest attached to finding Zora's Helm, you can technically get it anytime after you've obtained Zora's Armor (see the next listing). Just swim up the waterfall to the island known as Floating Scales Island, which is easily accessible from Mipha's Court.

While on this fish-shaped island, go to the back fin and look over the right side. You'll see some sludge along the sides of the fish. Throw a Splash Fruit at it to reveal an opening. Use your paraglider to get inside and find Zora's Helm in a chest.
