How to Upgrade Horses
In the enchanting realm of “Tears of the Kingdom,” horses play a vital role as trusted companions to aid your heroic journey. While horses possess innate attributes like Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Pull, they can be further enhanced through upgrades. To unleash the full potential of your equine companion, you’ll need to visit Malanya, the Horse God.
Unlike its previous location in Breath of the Wild, Malanya now resides in northern Akkala, specifically north of Bloodleaf Lake. Find Malanya and offer an Endura Carrot to awaken the Horse God from its cocoon. Once awakened, you can have a conversation with Malanya and explore the option to upgrade your horses.
Upgrading your horses comes at a cost, requiring specific food items as materials. Below you can see a list of the requires materials to upgrade your horse.
