How to Get a Mount in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

As you explore the vast open world of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you might have noticed that getting around is a bit more efficient with the help of mounts. But, where can you find these magnificent beasts and how do you capture them? In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of acquiring a mount in Tears of the Kingdom, highlighting the different methods to get one.

1. Epona and Wild Horses

• Epona, the loyal horse from Breath of the Wild, returns in Tears of the Kingdom as a starting mount.
• You can find Epona near Lookout Landing, on the west side of Hyrule Field.
• After obtaining Epona, you can use Pony Points to upgrade and customize your ride.
• Wild horses can be found in the open fields and fields near the smaller towns, including Hyrule Field, Wooden Bridge, and Fort Hestu.

• Wild horses can be tamed and ridden, but it takes some effort.
• Find a wild horse, then sneak up behind it to start the taming process.
• Hold L to soothe the horse, and as you ride, it’ll eventually calm down.
• Be patient, as some wild horses take longer to tame than others.

  • Deer: These can be found in the Forest Tower area.
  • Bears: Tame these in the Snowfield region near Wooden Bridge.
  • Sand Seals: Locate them in the Deku Kingdom.
• These mounts can be just as effective as Epona, depending on the terrain and your skills.
