Ah, Breath of the Wild. The open world, the shrines, the cooking… and of course, the horses! Few things beat the feeling of galloping across the Hyrule Field on your trusty steed. But after a long day of exploring, you might find yourself wondering, “Can I just fast travel with this horse?”. Let’s explore the answer to that question and delve into the wonderful world of equine companionship in BotW.
Fast Travel and Your Faithful Steed: A Breakdown
Sadly, you can’t directly fast travel with your horse in Breath of the Wild. Think of it like this: you wouldn’t want your loyal mount squeezed into your pocket as you teleport, would you?
“But what about all the stables scattered across Hyrule?” I hear you ask. Excellent question! While you can’t directly teleport with your horse, the stables play a crucial role in making your equestrian life easier.
Stables: Your Horse’s Home Away From Home
Think of the stables like a network of fast travel points for your horse. Once you’ve befriended and registered a wild horse, you can leave it at any stable. Then, no matter where you are in Hyrule, you can fast travel to that stable and your trusty steed will be waiting!

Making the Most of Your Horse in BotW
While you can’t zip across Hyrule in a flash of light with your horse by your side, there are plenty of ways to enhance your travels with your equine companion:
Tips for the Equestrian Traveler:
- Bond with your horse: Just like any good partnership, bonding is key. Soothe your horse by talking to it and patting it when it gets spooked. A strong bond makes your horse more responsive and less likely to throw you off during those intense battles.
- Upgrade your saddle and bridle: Visit the stable to customize your horse’s gear. A better saddle increases your horse’s stamina, letting you gallop across Hyrule for longer.
- Choose the right horse: Different horses have different stats. Some are faster, some have more stamina, and some are braver in battle. Experiment to find your perfect match!
