The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a pretty heavy game when it comes to the emotional hold that it has on its players. While it can be heavy on the heart though, the game also has many cozy vibes while hanging around Hyrule. Players can roam around and collect different ingredients to cook meals, find materials to upgrade their armor, and even tame horses and other animals.

Horses are a big part of the experience for many players as they can ride to their destination much faster than Link's normal running speed. There are ways to increase Link's speed, but horses are a fantastic way to get places much more quickly. Players can take care of their horses and save them in stables around Hyrule. However, some players might be wondering whether horses can die in Tears of the Kingdom, and, if they can, whether they can also be brought back from the dead.

Can Horses Die in Tears of the Kingdom?

Sadly, the answer is yes; the player's horses can die in Tears of the Kingdom if they take enough damage. With this in mind, while players can ride horses to get around Hyrule faster, they will also need to be careful to protect them. Mounts can take damage throughout the game during battles with enemies, which can lead to the player's horses dying. However, players needn't panic, as horses can be revived.

If a player's horse dies, there is a way to save them from completely dying. Players can resurrect their horses and continue on their journey with them. In order to do this, players will need to head to Northern Akkala and look around for Malanya. For some background, Malanya is the Horse God and will help revive any registered horses that have fallen in battle in Tears of the Kingdom. Players will need to give him a Roasted Endura Carrot, which can be found in various places throughout Hyrule, including Satori Mountain.

That's all there is to know about reviving a horse in Tears of the Kingdom. Although the process is relatively straightforward, it's a lot easier to keep a horse safe than it is to revive it. With this in mind, players should always be mindful of potential danger while on horseback, especially while riding near enemies. Having horses around during battles will risk them accidentally taking hits from enemies, which can in turn lead to accidental deaths.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
