Need help with The Horse Guard's Request in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? Find out where to find a Stalhorse and complete this side quest with our easy-to-follow guide.

Alright, so you're looking to help out Toffa with his little horse problem, huh? This one's pretty straightforward, but it does involve finding a rather… *unusual* horse. Let's get you set up!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll want to head over to Outskirt Stable, which is located in Central Hyrule. Once you're there, find Toffa. He's usually hanging around the horse stables. Chat with him, and he'll mention a rumor about Stalhorses appearing out on Hyrule's surface.
  2. 2
    Now, Stalhorses aren't your everyday steeds. They only show up at night, specifically between 11 pm and 5 am. So, if it's daytime, you'll need to wait. The easiest way to do this is to find a campfire, interact with it, and choose to wait until night.
  3. 3
    Once it's dark, leave Outskirt Stable and follow the road heading north, crossing the Manhala Bridge. Your destination is a field called Sanidin Park Ruins. You'll find it directly behind the horse statue in that area.
  4. 4
    If you've timed it right and are there between 11 pm and 5 am, you should start seeing some Stalhorses appear. They can be a little tricky to approach without spooking them, so consider equipping some stealth armor or eating some stealth-boosting food.
  5. 5
    When you find one, just walk up to it and press the 'A' button to mount it, just like any other horse. You'll then need to calm it down by repeatedly pressing the 'A' button.
  6. 6
    With your new skeletal friend secured, you need to ride it all the way back to Outskirt Stable.
  7. 7
    Once you arrive back at the stable, simply ride up to Toffa while mounted on the Stalhorse. This will complete the quest!
Tips
  • If you don't see any Stalhorses spawning when you first arrive at Sanidin Park Ruins, don't worry! Just leave the area and come back, or set up another campfire and wait for the next night. Sometimes they're just a bit shy.
  • Remember, you can't register a Stalhorse at the stable. Also, they're only around until 5 am. If you're still riding one when 5 am hits, Link will be unceremoniously tossed off, and the Stalhorse will vanish. So, plan your rides accordingly!
