Horses are one of the basic means of transport in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Below you will find information about Epona, traveling the world on the back of a mount and taming horses.
Horse riding
Just like in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, in Tears of the Kingdom you can travel around the game world on a horse . This means of transport significantly speeds up exploration and getting from one point to another.
Although there are various types of vehicles available in the game that you can build with the Ultrahand skill, it is not a good idea to completely abandon the horse. Land vehicles are larger than the pet and getting into tight places with them might prove problematic. A horse, in turn, allows for greater freedom in moving around narrow locations.
It is also possible to fight from the horse's back. You can mount both melee and ranged attacks. This way of fighting will provide you with a bit of advantage. Also, in case of trouble, you will be able to quickly move away from enemies to a safe distance .
Can you tame horses?
Breath of the Wild allowed you to tame wild horses , which you could then use for transport. Perhaps Tears of the Kingdom will also offer such a feature, but for now it is only certain that you will be able to use at least 1 horse to move around. There is a chance that there will also be stables where you will find all the mounts you have tamed so far.
Is Epona in the game?
Perhaps Epona, one of the best horses in terms of statistics, will appear in Tears of the Kingdom. In Breath of the Wild, you had to scan the proper amiibo figurine to gain access to this amazing mount without having to tame it. This is the only way to enjoy Epona while playing the game.
Epona is the most recognizable horse in The Legend of Zelda series, appearing in many installments of Link's adventures. She is considered the goddess of these animals , which she owes to her beautiful brown coat and light mane. As she accompanies Link in many installments of the series, you can expect her to appear in Tears of the Kingdom in some form as well.
