The Giant Horse in Tears of the Kingdom.

There are a wide variety of mounts you can ride in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and you may want to add as many as possible to your stable so you can call on them whenever you’d like. But what if you could add a massive horse to that lineup and summon the towering beast anytime you’d like? Well, good news – you can do precisely that by taming the giant horse. This beautiful oversized mount doesn’t take much beyond a good bit of stamina and a bit of patience, so let’s take a look at where you can find it.

The giant horse can be found to the east of the Horse God Bridge in Faron. You’ll spot this beautiful animal in a gorge, wandering around next to some waterfalls. As with any horse in the game, you can simply approach it slowly and quietly, then quickly press the A button to mount it. However, calming it down is another story, as you’ll need a lot of stamina to relax this gigantic equine. If you start running low, eat some stamina-regenerating food to help keep you in the struggle.

The giant horse sports a whopping 5-star Strength, but it won’t be the fastest mount in the game at only 2-star Speed. Even so, riding around on this majestic creature can be quite a treat, so it’s worth adding it to your collection either way. Be sure you head to Highland Stable to the northeast of where you found the giant horse and register it there for future rides.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s controls are easier with these Switch controllers

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is out now and it's receiving rave reviews from critics and fans alike. While there's a lot to love, the Switch sequel does have one sticking point: its complicated controls.

Like Breath of the Wild, Link's latest adventure requires fans to do a lot of button juggling as they swap weapons, shields, items, abilities, and more on the fly. Tears of the Kingdom is even more complicated than its predecessor, as some of its new features require players to press and hold a button while pressing another and moving the control stick.

Using Link's paraglider in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is always a fun time – we all love to glide peacefully across Hyrule, after all. But what we're all really wanting is a wingsuit, right? Well, there's good news for everyone here, as a wingsuit (formally known as the Glide Set) is available in the game and shouldn't pose a significant challenge for you to obtain. That being said, you'll still need to put a bit of work in, so let's take a look at what you need to do.

The Glide Set is actually divided into three pieces, each requiring you to visit one of three islands high above Hyrule. When you arrive at each island, you'll have to speak to the Zonai Construct there to begin a challenge where you must jump off the island and glide through some green rings. After doing this once, you'll have an opportunity to try it again as a time trial, this time earning yourself one of the pieces of the Glide Set as a reward.
