About Ganon's Horse
Ganon's Horse is a vastly impressive and formidable equine in the game, possessing both an incredibly high strength attribute and an imposing physical presence that make it a prized acquisition for any player's stable. However, capturing and domesticating Ganon's Horse is no facile undertaking, for it requires meticulous preparation, intricate strategy, and a bit of luck.
Prerequisites For Finding Ganon's Horse
Before embarking on your quest to find Ganon's Horse, it is important to prepare yourself for the challenges that lie ahead. To get started, here are some essential items to gather before embarking on your search:
Stamina Upgrades
In order to successfully tame Ganon's Horse, you will need to have over two full bars of stamina available. There are a couple of ways to increase your stamina. One way is to trade in Light of Blessings at the Goddess Statues, while another option is to cook recipes that significantly increase your maximum stamina. Make sure to take advantage of these methods to upgrade your stamina before attempting to tame Ganon's Horse.
Stealth Equipment And Elixirs
When approaching Ganon's Horse, it's important to be extra cautious as the horse is sensitive to your movements. To increase your chances of success, consider equipping armor that enhances your stealth abilities or crafting Stealth Elixirs to help you sneak up on the horse undetected. By doing this, you'll be able to increase your chances of successfully taming the elusive and cautious beast.
Where To Find Ganon's Horse
To locate Ganon's Horse, proceed to Hateno Village and ascend the hill behind it. Once at the top, use your Paraglider to glide down to Hateno Beach. Upon arrival, you will find the majestic beast grazing in a grassy area located on the peninsula, surrounded by several other horses.
Taming Ganon's Horse
Once you have located Ganon's Horse, the next step is to sneak up on it and mount it without being detected. Follow these steps to tame Ganon's Horse successfully:
- Approach the horse from behind, staying crouched in the grass to remain hidden. If possible, use any available stealth-boosting equipment or elixirs to enhance your sneak ability.
- Move slowly and carefully, as the other horses nearby may become startled and cause Ganon's Horse to run away.
- When you are close enough to mount the horse, press the A button to climb aboard. As soon as you are on it, begin pressing the L button to soothe the horse and prevent it from bucking you off.
- Keep an eye on your stamina meter, as it will deplete quickly while you attempt to tame Ganon's Horse. If your stamina is running low, consume any stamina-restoring items you have prepared.
- Once you have expended over two full bars of stamina, Ganon's Horse should calm down, signaling that it has been successfully tamed.
Traveling To The Nearest Stable
Once you have successfully tamed Ganon's horse, your next objective is to travel to the nearest stable and register your horse. The nearest stable is the Dueling Peaks Stable, which is located towards the east of your current position. Make sure to avoid any danger that may pose a threat to your newly acquired mount. Do take note that Ganon's Horse is not known for its speed; therefore, the journey may take a considerable amount of time before reaching Dueling Peaks Stable.
Registering Ganon's Horse
When you reach Dueling Peaks Stable, talk to the stable master and register your horse for 20 Rupees. You'll be prompted to choose a fitting name for this horse, which will serve as your trusty and versatile companion throughout the game. Once your new mount is registered, you can summon it from any stable at any time, making it an essential part of your adventures in this exciting world.
