BotW The Royal White Stallion: White Horse Location, Royal Gear

The Royal White Stallion is a side quest at Outskirt Stable in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. As a child, old Toffa heard from his grandfather that the white horse Princess Zelda rode once grazed on nearby Safula Hill. Now a customer says he has seen a white horse there again, and Toffa wants to see it for himself. For catching and registering horses see the horse guide; for the full list of side quests see the side quest list.

How do you start The Royal White Stallion?

Toffa stands outside Outskirt Stable and greets you with “A traveler… Tell me, have you seen a pure-white horse anywhere?” He tells you about his grandfather and the customer’s sighting on Safula Hill: “Could it be a relative of the royal family’s white horse from my grandfather’s day?” Choose “Leave it to me!” to start the quest.

He is clear about what he wants: “If you see the white horse, please register it at a stable and bring it to me.” Catching it is not enough; it has to be registered.

Where is the white horse?

The white horse roams Safula Hill northwest of the stable, around the Sanidin Park Ruins (Show on map). Toffa says it “supposedly has a beautiful, pure-white coat without any mottling”, and “They say it roams by itself, apart from other groups of horses.” There are ordinary herds on the hill too; look for the pure white one with no spots, standing on its own.

How do you tame the white horse?

The same way as any wild horse: crouch, sneak up from behind, mount, and keep pressing the soothe button. The white horse is a wild type that needs 25 soothes before it calms down, where most horses need 15, so bring at least two stamina wheels, or drink an elixir or eat food that adds stamina first. If your stamina runs out you are thrown off and the horse runs, so just sneak up again.

The white horse has 220 stamina and five dashes; compare it with the other special horses in the horse guide.

What is the reward?

Ride the white horse back to Outskirt Stable, register it at the desk (20 rupees; up to five horses at a time), then ride up to Toffa and talk to him. He cries “What? You brought the royal family’s white horse? Well I’ll be… Grandpa wasn’t lying!”, then gives you the Royal Saddle and Royal Bridle his grandfather handed down and puts them on the horse there and then.

The Royal Saddle and Bridle are cosmetic and do not change the horse’s stats. You can swap them for other gear at any stable; every saddle and bridle is listed in the horse guide.
