The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: How to tame and mount a horse?

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is at finally here. Today, May 12, saw the formal debut of the eagerly anticipated Breath of the Wild sequel, which is regarded as the best video game ever made. It differs significantly from its predecessor in some ways while being quite similar in others. Horses’ appearance and utility are one Breath of the Wild element that has persisted.

In the map, horses may be used to move anywhere, which makes getting around much simpler. Nonetheless, procuring them can occasionally be easier said than done. Here’s how to go about doing that.

Horse training and mounting in Tears of the Kingdom

Despite being larger and less destructed, the map in Tears of the Kingdom is substantially the same as it was in Breath of the Wild. As a result, traveling becomes more difficult and horses take on greater significance.

Step 1: Advance stealthily toward a horse

Horses in Tears of the Kingdom are just as hesitant as they were in the last Zelda game. They will flee if you approach them quickly enough and without disturbing them.

Step 2: Get close enough and mount

If Step 1 was completed successfully, the mount option will be available. The A button on your Nintendo Switch controller should be used. Push it to climb up the horse’s back. It won’t like that, but taking this action is essential.

Step 3: Soothe the horse

The horse will be somewhat uneasy once you are mounted. All of the horses in the area will flee, including the one you’re trying to tame. Use the L button to calm the horse as it runs away. As often as you can, do this to reassure it.

It could take some time, but you must calm it down by soothing it. After that, you can keep riding it and it will become domesticated.

When it reaches that point, you can bring it to a stable and saddle it. The horse is now yours; you can call it, store it in the stable, and do other things with it. The more difficult alternative in Step 1 is to fly in and land on the horse.
