How To Get The Best Horse
You Can Create The Best Horse Yourself
In Tears of the Kingdom, you can enhance your Horse's stat, so you can make the upgrade and create the best Horse yourself with the exception of some of them.
It Is A Little Easier If The Initial Stats Are High
If the Horse's initial stats are high, the upgrade costs will be less. It is also possible to reroll and get a high-stats horse of your prefered color.
How To Reroll A Horse - High Stats & Best LocationSpecial/Unique Horses Cannot Be Upgraded
Special or unique Horses, such as Epona and the Giant White Stallion, cannot be enhanced because they seek to remain as they are. However, the Golden Horse can be upgraded as an exception.
How To Upgrade Your Horse
Free Malanya
To strengthen your Horse, Malanya must be unlocked first. Malanya can be found in a large plant north of the East Akkala Stable, northwest of Akkala. Malanya will ask for an Endura Carrot, so it will be easier if you prepare one in advance.
Malanya Location
Where You Can Get Endura Carrot
Endura Carrots grow under a cherry blossom tree near the top of Satori Mountain in Hyrule Ridge. You can fly northwest from Hyrule Field Skyview Tower to get there.
Prepare The Food For Horse Enhancement
| Stat | Priority/Effect |
|---|---|
| Strength | Priority: ★★ Increases the Horse's strength Less chance of letting the Horse die |
| Speed | Priority: ★★★ Increases the Horse's movement speed High priority due to the large benefit when traveling |
| Stamina | Priority: ★★★ Increase the number of time the Horse can dash Equally as beneficial as speed |
| Pull | Priority: ★ Increases the power to pull things Can be put off since there are few situations where it is particularly needed |
Once Malanya is unlocked, you can then create the strongest Horse for you. The required Food varies depending on the stat you want to improve, so prepare the necessary amount of Food.
