Horses are also a Red Dead Redemption staple. RELATED: Red Dead Redemption 2's Spookiest Glitches The hooved friends Link can meet are both useful for navigation and battles, and rewarding for players who become invested in the world.
Some of them, like the Giant Horse, are direct references to Zelda lore. The horses do not only vary in stats, they have different designs, and variations of said designs with different color schemes. The game treats these creatures more delicately than most enemy species throughout Zelda history. While Nintendo never intended for a glitch like infinite horse stamina to be part of the Breath of the Wild experience, its presence is nonetheless to the player’s benefit.īreath of the Wild’s horses are not a homogenous blob. Fittingly, Breath of the Wild has some exploits that involve horses. Beating tough enemies without having it take up a significant portion of playtime is one example. Horses can streamline parts of the gameplay that some people might not have the patience to deal with. Horses can be used by Link, or the player can ignore them entirely - though beating strong enemies like a Guardian with ease is seldom possible without these companions. With the customizable journey that Breath of the Wild provides comes an endless set of possibilities.
Horses are a piece of the puzzle they are, among many other things in the game’s world, ways of expressing oneself that Breath of the Wild encourages players to pursue. It's faster to explore Hyrule if Link has a horse by his side, and he can call a horse to help if players end up getting lost.Īlthough these features are useful, horseback riding is rarely, if ever, an obligation in Breath of the Wild. Taming them is integral for effective traveling. That being said, Breath of the Wild’s horses remain mechanically important. They are deeply ingrained into the game’s worldbuilding, but are not one of the main features like in Red Dead Redemption 2. These animals are part of Link’s multifaceted journey of relearning his skills, and are part of the expansive “wild” its title refers to. Epona’s does appear in Breath of the Wild as an amiibo bonus, but she is just one of the many horses Link can tame and explore Hyrule with. Horses are common in the Zelda series, with Epona being introduced in Ocarina of Time.
