Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - 20 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do

19. Tame, Customise & Summon A Horse

Not since Red Dead Redemption has horse-taming and riding been so much fun.

To get your very own trusty steed, first you need to sneak up (click the left stick) on one and mount it. Almost all horses will attempt to buck you off, but through a combination of hitting L to 'Sooth' and eating stamina-restoring meals/elixirs, you should be able to survive being thrown to the ground.

From here, you'll want to continually reward your horse with repeated soothings almost every time it does what you want - especially if you've landed a nag that keeps running the wrong way. Even if it goes right when you hit right, prod L and intimate "Good job". Doing so raises your Bond, MGS V-style, and will make the horse far more reliable, even in combat.

Now take your stallion to a Stable, talk to whoever's at the front and you'll be able to name your horse, buy a saddle for it, and even customise some additional features.

Lastly, tap down on the D-Pad to call your horse whenever you're in need - just be aware that if you haven't done the previous steps, there's every chance it will just ignore you.
