As you adventure across Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll soon find that sprinting and climbing everywhere isn’t the best means of transport. You can build plenty of cars, gliders, and God knows what else, but sometimes, a trusty steed is all we need.

How to tame Ganon’s Horse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Ganon’s Horse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is quite the stallion. Much like the Great White Stallion you can tame, Ganon’s Horse is much bigger than its friends, and also possesses the same stats.

They’ve a maximum strength stat and a Wild temperament, and their only downfall is that they can be quite slow. You won't be able to change it's stats with the Horse God, either.

To tame this horse, you’ll want to prepare your stamina; you’ll need multiple stamina upgrades or plenty of stamina-regenerating meals to hand.

When you approach the horse, be as stealthy as possible. If you’ve a few stealth elixirs to hand, these will work a treat.

Once close enough to Ganon’s Horse, mount it and repeatedly soothe it until it calms. This is where our stamina comes in, as this horse takes a lot of soothing. You'll essentially want two full stamina wheels, or plenty of ways to regenerate your stamina during this process.

With Ganon’s Horse calmed down, you can trot back to the nearest stable and register the horse. Then, you’ll be able to board and take out the horse from any of the stable locations around Hyrule.
