How To Tame Horses in Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom

Horses are essential companions in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. They allow you to travel faster, jump higher, and even engage in battles while mounted. However, taming a horse in the game can be challenging, especially if you're new to the game. In this guide, we'll give you tips on how to tame horses in Tears of the Kingdom successfully.

Before approaching a horse, it's essential to understand the mechanics of taming one. The game requires you to approach a horse slowly and quietly to prevent it from getting spooked. You'll need to manage Link's stamina during the approach to ensure that you don't run out of energy midway. A depleted stamina bar will cause Link to yell, startling the horse, and ruining your chances of taming it.

When you're close to a horse, it's important to crouch down to approach it. You can do this by pressing the left joystick down. This makes Link sneak towards the horse, minimizing the chances of it getting spooked. You'll need to move slowly and avoid making any sudden movements that could scare the horse. You'll know that you're close enough to a horse when a prompt appears requesting that you press the "L" button to mount it.

To avoid spooking the horse during the taming process, you can try feeding it apples or carrots. These items can be found in the game, and they can help to calm the horse down. Once you mount the horse, you'll be prompted to soothe it by pressing the "L" button repeatedly. This action will increase the horse's bond with Link, making it easier to control.

Tears of the Kingdom has several horse-related features that are similar to those in Breath of the Wild. These include the ability to board horses at stables, where you can also change their saddles and bridles. Boarding your horse at a stable is also important because it prevents it from despawning.

Another important feature in Tears of the Kingdom is the ability to claim horses. When you claim a horse, it becomes your companion, and it will follow you around the game world. This feature also prevents other players from taming your horse.
