Zelda Breath of the Wild: Can Your Horse Die?

Can Your Horse Die? – The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Zelda: Breath of the Wild drops players into a wide open world full of ruins, ancient relics, dangerous enemies, and animals. Some of those animals happen to be horses which you can tame and even keep. Of course, with them being so common, it has some players wondering, can your horse die?

The sad answer to that question is yes, horses can die. You can even kill them yourself (which is not advised). They can take quite a bit of damage, and they will do their best to avoid confrontation when you’re not riding them, but your horse can indeed die if you jump into a really dangerous area or decide to give it a few wacks with your weapon of choice. It’s realistic, and will have you collecting more than one horse as you play, unless you take really good care of it.

We suggest always scouting ahead before charging into new areas so that your trusty steed can last throughout the game just like you.
