The Golden Horse is a unique mount in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and a very powerful one too. Not only is it a gleaming gold color, but it has impressive strength and speed!
Luckily, getting your hands on the Golden Horse, which actually belongs to Princess Zelda herself, is pretty simple.
How to Get The Golden Horse in Tears of the Kingdom & Location
To get to the Golden Horse in the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you must complete the Zelda’s Golden Horse side quest at Snowfiled Stable.
Upon completing this quest, you will be able to register and name the Golden Horse.
Before you start your journey to get the Golden Horse, you’ll need to know how to increase your cold resistance in TOTK. This is because the Golden Horse is found in the freezing cold Tabantha Tundra.
- Head to the Lucky Clover Gazette.
- This is located just to the east of Rito Village.
- Speak with Traysi and Penn to start the Potential Princess Sightings side quest.
- Head northeast to Snowfield Stable.
- On the way to the stable, make sure you don’t miss the adventurers stuck in a house. If you kill the monsters outside, they will teach you how to shield surf!
- On the right-hand side of the stable, you will see Penn talking to Harlow.
- Speak to them, and you will get the Zelda’s Golden Horse side quest.
- Speak to Harlow again, and she will give you an Energizing Elixir.
- You will likely need to consume one of these while taming the Golden Horse so you don’t run out of stamina while it tries to buck you off.
- Head north into the Tabantha Tundra in search of the Golden Horse.
- You can choose to fight the Frost Gleelok on the way or head slightly east to avoid it.
- Continue riding north until you see some ruins at the map coordinates -1817, 3386, 0235.
- Among the group of wild horses, there will be the Golden Horse.
- Mount the Golden Horse with the A button and press L repeatedly to soothe it.
- You may need to consume a stamina-replenishing meal or Elixir while on the Golden Horse’s back to tame it without getting thrown off.
- Head Back to Snowfield Stable and speak with Harlow and Penn.
- They will insist you keep the horse for yourself.
- Register the horse at Snowfield Stable for 20 Rupees, and it will be yours to keep forever!
