What is the best Zelda Tears of the Kingdom horse?

Ultimately, the best horse to use comes down to personal preference. If you prefer a horse that never runs out of stamina, the Giant White Stallion is the horse of choice, but if you want upgrades to the stats of each horse you own, then awakening the Horse God is the way to go.

We recommend the Giant White Stallion due to its unlimited stamina. This comes in handy when embarking on a long journey across Hyrule.
