Link’s Horse Taming Secrets Revealed In ‘Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild;’ Catch Epona Using Amiibo

In "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" Link is able to ride any horse that he can find. The hero needs a horse to move across the open world which could take a very long time if he moves on foot. But Link just can't hop on a horse and go; he needs to tame a horse first so he could ride it.

Over the weekend, news, tips and tricks on how to play "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" have appeared online and included are ways how Link can tame a wild horse. IGN said that wild horses are usually found in open areas like Dueling Peaks or Central Hyrule Field and the locations where they are found are usually related to their strength, stamina and speed.

Link has to be smart to tame a horse; there are many ways to tame one and the most basic technique is to crouch down and stealth. Link has to be very close to grab the horse and get on; afterwards the soothe button should be tapped rapidly to tame it. Link can also paraglide down to a horse in case it's found below a cliff or a high point. This could be tricky since the horse may still resist. Link has to immediately register it to a nearest stable and to keep calming the horse to tame it.

Taming a horse reduces Link's stamina so he has to create elixirs or nourishment to replenish. An offering of 4 Spirit Orbs to a Goddess may increase stamina; these statues are found in large towns and at the Temple of Time.

Most "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" players agree that taming any wild horse is a waste of time and so they recommend going for big game like Epona. This horse may be spawned by using the Super Smash Bros Link amiibo, Heavy reported. The horse is the ideal animal to move into Hyrule because it comes with a maximum bond and has four hearts stats.

Players simply tap the amiibo and once Epona appears, it has to be taken to a nearby stable to register. If a player taps the amiibo again after he has spawned Epona, pieces of Link's outfit may be obtained. Epona requires no taming and no time wasted as a player resumes playing "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild."
