How to get the giant horse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

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.

How to get the giant horse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

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.

The worst Zelda games ever made are getting a spiritual successor

The Legend of Zelda series inspires tons of indie games every year. They just usually don't take inspiration from the bad ones. That's exactly what we're getting with Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, a new indie that draws inspiration from Zelda's infamous Philips CD-i era.

During Limited Run Games' third annual showcase, Seedy Eye Software and Limited Run revealed Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, an "animated adventure" game inspired by Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon that will release later this year. If you don't know about Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, they are two infamously terrible The Legend of Zelda games that were officially licensed by Nintendo for the Philips CD-i. These side-scrolling adventure games played terribly and featured ugly full-motion video animated cutscenes with terrible voice acting. You've probably seen some memes featuring the characters and animation from these games. Because of how bad they are, these titles aren't really ones most developers look to for inspiration.
The developers of Arzette did, though.

Its reveal trailer establishes that the titular Princess goes on a quest to defeat an evil being named Daimur. It's a 2D action platformer that looks like those two CD-i Zelda games, albeit one that looks a bit more fun to play. Its similarities to The Faces of Evil and The Wand of Gamelon become inescapable during cutscenes, as the characters, animation, and voice acting all look like they came straight out of those games.
In general, the Limited Runs Games Showcase this reveal was at was a wild one, with remasters for classic Jurassic Park games, Gex, Clock Tower, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, Tomba!, and more announced. While we see odes to bad movies with films like The Disaster Artist and Ed Wood, we don't see that nearly as often with bad games.
That should make Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore enjoyable and terrible (in a good way) when it launches on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam in 2023.
