Really great idea they made Malanya useful. It's just a shame they removed the ancient horse armor. Now that Link is traveling through 3 different layers, the need to recall a horse is even stronger.
@@SverigeHobbes They could’ve programed it that the ancient horse armor only works on the surface. It would’ve been easy for devs to do that. Example: You can’t summon (Insert Horse Name) on a sky island. You can’t summon (Insert Horse Name) in the Depths.
I like that they gave Malanya more functionality cause I rarely used the revival service since I barely used horses in dangerous areas, plus being able to bond with a horse and being able to make that horse better can mean a lot to some people.
Same, i also love that we can get more horses now with quest and interaction and the pony point system in stables because i remember one of my favorite pastime in my BOTW Master Mode run was to try to catch the best stats horse of every color but i ran out of space quick. That also meant i could not get the special horses.
I know a lot of people were super excited to find out that their Breath if the Wild horses transferred over. (Including me.) It's super cool that we can not only continue to use our favorite horses, but also make them into superhorses
Hi guys. Just wanted to let you all know that south of Melanya, there's a wooden shed that has a stove in it. Conveniently placed there when you're on a cooking spree when you're upgrading your horses. No need to go back to the stable just to use their stove.
I put travel points on both that cooking pot and the horse God lol. Also screen spotted a lot to see which meals I needed. Shiny is now 5* all around. Thanks Austin
pro tip: if you have to make repetitive dishes, you can select one ingredient of the dish and then hit "select for recipe" and it'll pull up any dishes you've made before with that ingredient very useful for when you need those millions of porridges
Anyone else finding the whole “select recipe” menu more cumbersome than just selecting the ingredients? Like, by FAR unless you’re specifically making a cake or another 5 unique item recipe?
@@HerMi.T Griff said it. I’ll add that if you ARE doing the most optimal 30 minute buff foods… you’re making a handful and then having a nice month of play. The bulk of what you cook is basic apple healing, a single hearty food, or whatever you’re selling if that’s your deal.
Even though my horse only has 2 stars in each stat I'm still gonna fully upgrade him, as he was my first ever horse in BOTW. I was excited to see him return in TOTK and I'm even more excited now to make him the best.
As someone who frequently uses the horses even to just ride around for fun and was very close to some of the random horses i got in BOTW, its great to know i can upgrade them. Also fantastic for those who wasnt a not solid colour horse like s'mores to get better stats, those tend to be on the low end in the wild but now people can get any horse and make it the best!
My first horse in my first playthrough of BOTW back in 2017 is named Charlie. He's a decent horse with a brown/white body, red hair, and black eyes. When I got to a stable in TOTK I was so happy to see him! Now I can make him perfect! Thanks Austin!
I really appreciate the effort you put into not forcing us to watch an entire video, and the accessibility you create with time stamps etc. I usually skip through and find what I need, but ill let the vid auto play out so you can get that watch time! Thanks Austin.
The level of more interaction with almost anything in TotK extremely outshines BotW & that game was already so good a LONG WHILE after release! TotK feels like it’s gonna be so good even longer!
I couldn't tell if you knew this, but you can use recipes to automatically select all the ingredients you need for cooking, rather than searching through your inventory and manually selecting each one. Really nice when you are cooking up complex things repeatedly.
Sometimes I wonder, how do other youtubers even compete with Austin? These videos are so good, concise, accurate, well scripted, well paced. You are doing a great job man!
I'm so happy they made this. I always loved the appaloosas and paint horses in botw, but I couldnt use them bc their stats were abysmal. Super hyped to be able to make a high quality piebald baby!
Ever since Breath of the Wild came out, Austin's tutorials and walk through s have been helping me. Hes been one of my favorite TH-cam for a very long time. Thanks, Austin!
I recently got to Malanya in the Akkala Region in "Tears of the Kingdom", and upgraded all of my horses stats to the max. I have to say that it is time consuming, even with the recipe shortcut. One tip I can offer is to also make sure you have a lot of Zonai Cooking Pots, but even with a list I sometimes forgot a meal and if you don't wanna teleport back to a stable (or run back if you didn't get the Travel Medallion), it's best to have those on you. Personally, I wish there was more horse activity in "Tears of the Kingdom", like a horse race similar to the one in "Ocarina of Time."
@@luxato5789 They could have easily gated certain areas off. They did the same in BotW. Most likely they just didn't want to make certain builds obsolete.
Thanks Austin! As a disabled gamer I find your guides and walkthroughs the most helpful. I was able to watch this video and pause and follow along as you cooked and also get my own powerful horse!
thank you so much, some websites online were flat out saying the wrong ingredients for some of the recipes and I was this close to making a spreadsheet for all of the food I'd need- perfect timing, amazing work, much love Austin
Thanks a lot for all your TotK guides, and especially this one. You spared me from sinking who knows how much time into researching horse upgrades. The only thing I think I could add to the guide is, if anyone reading is thinking about getting a 20-star horse, I strongly recommend upgrading the good old 5/3/5 "Strength Horse" from BotW. IINM it always becomes a 5/3/5/2 horse when importing your BotW save data into TotK, and given that it already has two maxed-out stats (Strength and Stamina), you don't need to cook those 18 servings of difficult meals in order to fully upgrade those two stats like it's the case with most other horses, such as the Golden Horse who starts as a 4/4/3/2 horse.
I love how family friendly you are and how you never use foul. As an adult, I enjoy watching your videos with my nephew. Thanks for the great content you make; I have been watching you since BOTW
You’re a life saver. My stupid autism fails to allow me to understand the difference between all the recipes, and how much I need and which ones I need for what, so I had to rely on screenshots and then guessing the recipe. This video really helped me power up all the horses in my stable, thank you Austin 🙏🏼
I've been avoiding most of these, so I can play the game as blind as possible, but this, this is something I'm down to learn about now. (I guess for reference, I'm not very far, only finished Rita village and have only explored and unlocked about 1/4 of the map)
You can only have a casual playthrough once. The minute you start getting into all the videos giving you tips, you start losing that little by little. I've almost unlocked the entire Surface & Sky map. I'm nowhere near ready for most videos.
@notaliveperson apparently you can find them anywhere, but I've had a lot of luck outside lurelin. They're so pale pink that they might look almost like a light tan in certain lights, so look carefully.
@Kattyslittlearchive If you’re looking for a horse with a pink mane and spots (which many seem to be obsessed with) I usually go near New Serene Stable
If you use the Malaya bed at any stable occasionally the Horse God will tell you a secret, including where "There, many excellent steeds... roam wild and free..." I have found three locations so far and proved that you can find horses with 5 points in stats at those spots. 1st spot was in Faron Grasslands in a place called Zokassa Ridge, just north of Ishokin Shrine.( I mostly found 4str 4speed 5str 3pull here) 2nd spot says its in Hyrule Ridge atop Thundra Plateau there sits a dragon tree, if you go southeast of Runakit Shrine and glide down there is a pack of horses next to a zonai dragon statue( I found 5str 2speed 4stam 5pull AND 5str 3speed 5stam 2 pull here) 3rd spot Is on the border of east and west Necluda, in Bubing Forest just Southeast a bit of Dueling peaks stable.( I found a 5 Stam 4str 4speed 3 pull AND a 2str 5speed!! 3stam 4pull horses here)
I watch almost all of your videos and find your content to be amazing. I have to say that this video imparticular is extremely well put together and helpful. You couldn't have designed this better. Thanks AustinJohn!
I'm already super close to fully maxing out one of my horses (my favorite 2/5/3/2 horse from BotW, it's 4/5/4/4 now), and this dropped right as I was about to start working on those last couple upgrades! Thanks a bunch for this!
I already did this a few days ago, except for the pull stat. I maxed out the pull stat of a different horse... a horse that I've chosen to be my pulling horse. This way, I don't have to attach the towing harness to my main horse whose other three stats I did max out. My gentle-tempered main horse (which resembles Link's horse from his memories from before the Calamity) is named after Twilight Princess Link's childhood friend Ilia. My wild-tempered pulling horse is the descendant of Zelda's white stallion which I named Lumen. Almost all of Ilia's stats were just two stars. Boy, searching (online and in the game) for all the ingredients for all the recipes I needed sure took a while. But hey, it was worth it. It certainly paid off.
I just caught a wild horse with 4 stars stats in Strength and Stamina, and 3 stars in Speed and Pull. Spent a good half an hour following your video to max him out and holy smokes. Thank you so much for the recipes! I had figured a few by pure luck, throwing stuff in the pan to see what would happen 😂 But you're a life saver 🙏
This makes me so happy to know I can keep my OG horse, the first one I caught in TOTK, can become the perfect horse for my entire journey 🥹 I always hated the grind to find the fastest horse with the exact patterns I want in BOTW... so glad they made this feature! Thanks Austin!
I'm seeing tons of guides online with bad recipes that don't give you the right thing. Thanks so much for this guide, for showing that what you're using is going to make what you say.
I've been concerning myself with getting a good horse for my Tears of the Kingdom adventure and this video along with the unique horses has helped me out. Thanks. Upon further research I found out knowledge from BotW regarding 'Leader' and 'follower' horses. It seems the scope of this video was for only manually increasing stats at Malanya, but I think it could've been accented with this past knowledge 'leader' and 'follower' horses, herd types, temperament, and between them, their chance of getting better stats before manually increasing them. Just something I found out I didn't previously know about or made a correlation to.
Yes! Exactly when i needed the video😂. I was just about to start doing the thing with malanya. Greetings from Greece Austin I've been watching since the sun and moon days keep it up
this is SUPER helpful, tysm! i watched the whole video but i really appreciate the timestamps cause my memory sucks and i'm DEF gonna have to go back over those recipes again lol
In BOTW I found that the Northwest section of Central Hyrule is near impossible to get through on horseback with all the guardians that are there and they keep up insanely well so that trying to dodge laser beams becomes a death trap for your horse. I tried to zigzag to avoid the blasts and one got my horse. It was truly horrifying to hear an animal make that sound.
Thanks for the video! I'm glad they gave the Horse God more functionality. I'm sure most people rarely if ever needed to revive a horse, though I'm sure most were glad the option was there. Letting you upgrade your horses is a big plus. In BotW, I kind of felt bad using my horses with lower stats, feeling like I was being inefficient, but now you and upgrade almost any horse to be the best. Almost. I feel a bit bad for the Giant Horses, both the Giant Horse (Ganon's horse from BotW) and the Giant White Stallion. They seem to be redskins of each other. They both are missing half of the stats and the ability to gallop. Their 5 strength is no longer unique to them as other horses can be upgraded to that level. I'm pretty sure they are a bit faster than their stats imply, maybe by virtue of having a longer stride, but it would be cool if you could dash with a monster sized horse. Thinking about it, I feel a bit worse about the other non-upgradable horses. The Giant horses still have things that make them stand out (like their size and stride) but horses like the royal white stallion might just be completely outclassed by upgraded horses.
The only TH-camr worth turning my notifications on for. Thank you for another great walkthrough! Your early game guidance for TotK have been a lifesaver!
Such a useful mechanic for what’s been rendered the most useless form of transportation especially without being able to teleport your horse to you also great vid
love your vids Austin! you helped my journey through botw (i was late to the party lol) and now ive not missed a single vid of yours on totk! thank you so much for caring so deeply about our gameplay and all your zelda content!!! it is very much appreciated! 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks to Malanya i can finally enjoy my pink horses. Caught colid color one, upgraded all stats, then got Spot quest and guess what? i found pink spotted horse with pink mane and now I HAVE TO upgrade her
First what a handy video thank you second I love how thorough everything is a lot of times people don't go into enough detail and then I spend five minutes looking for an endura carrot 😂 neway dear gawddddd do I miss the ancient set for the horse ... But i get that w 3 new levels it just be too OP
Thanks for your videos! Did you know that you can feed your horse from hand? Just hold it and stand before the horse, so it can reach the food you're holding!
I used this to upgrade my horse from my BoTW pauseless run. After going through so much to get the highest stat horse I could get in that game and then taking on the world with him in a run devoid of fast travel, he deserves the world
LOL I'm cheap and use the amiibos for some ingredients. This game has way more content than botw. I haven't even scratched the surface. I'm almost completely done exploring the depths and haven't progressed the story but man is gonna be a slow good time beating this game. I love the vastness in this game.
Thank you for all your help you're giving us to make the game experience better for us :) you helped me so much in BOTW and in this game too and you're a great TH-camr and your energy is great and inspiring. Thanks for doing all of this and I always look forward to all of your videos :)
You've saved me countless hours of grinding, and especially your duplication glitch I just learned a couple days ago, which was heaven-sent, just like my favorite horse's name., Heaven. (This coming from a guy who loves easy and cheap access to ancient arrows to rid me of the annoying Yiga blade master or whatever else attacks me while I'm in a hurry, already battling or preoccupied with more important things. THANK YOU!!!
RISSOTO !!!!! thankyou for all these videos you have been making i have really been appreciating all of them I love all of your videos. And will continue to keep watching the and supporting you. One question I am getting stuck on the goron quest out of the four can you please make a video on that, thankyou so much. !!!
Hi I don't know if you knew this or not but you can hold an apple or carrot and stand in front of the horse and they will eat it 😊 way quicker than them having to turn around to eat it.
This makes me so happy in breath of the wild i have a pinto I named her Rain and she is absolutely very special to me i kept her despite her terrible stats i remember trying to find a pinto with good stats for hours Little did I know that it wasn't possible to get that... So I kept rain just because I loved her and now and tears the kingdom I can make her strong! She deserves it :) sadly my copy of botw was on the wii U and i can't transfer her over.... I'm currently working on btow on the switch now and I'll keep my eye out for a horse that looks just like Rain and she will be my first horse and I'll transfer her over to tears of the kingdom and give her the boost she deserves :') this literally made me so happy 😁
I love this so much. I have Epona and Zeldas horse from BOTW but I only use the first horse I ever got. This was fine in Botw with the ancient horse armour but In Totk it was annoying to use 😅
Im so glad they made this a feature in the game, in botw i would just beat the game because i always find a horse which has all 4-5 stars in speed and strength with 3-4 starts within stamina. It was honestly annoying only being able to find that horse until im already done with the game. I was excited when i actually saw that the horse saved over to totk since i honestly didn't want yo find another horse like that all over again, but i was ecstatic when I found out about that feature with melanya it will save me a lot of time looking for specific horses (ones that are fast and have high stamina) it will also save me time from having to switch horses whenever i want to pull a cart or something
Really great idea they made Malanya useful. It's just a shame they removed the ancient horse armor. Now that Link is traveling through 3 different layers, the need to recall a horse is even stronger.

Hi guys. Just wanted to let you all know that south of Melanya, there's a wooden shed that has a stove in it. Conveniently placed there when you're on a cooking spree when you're upgrading your horses. No need to go back to the stable just to use their stove.

Yes! Exactly when i needed the video😂. I was just about to start doing the thing with malanya. Greetings from Greece Austin I've been watching since the sun and moon days keep it up
this is SUPER helpful, tysm! i watched the whole video but i really appreciate the timestamps cause my memory sucks and i'm DEF gonna have to go back over those recipes again lol
Your horsie videos are my FAVORITE!! 🥰🥰🥰
In BOTW I found that the Northwest section of Central Hyrule is near impossible to get through on horseback with all the guardians that are there and they keep up insanely well so that trying to dodge laser beams becomes a death trap for your horse. I tried to zigzag to avoid the blasts and one got my horse. It was truly horrifying to hear an animal make that sound.
Thanks for the video!
I'm glad they gave the Horse God more functionality. I'm sure most people rarely if ever needed to revive a horse, though I'm sure most were glad the option was there.
Letting you upgrade your horses is a big plus. In BotW, I kind of felt bad using my horses with lower stats, feeling like I was being inefficient, but now you and upgrade almost any horse to be the best. Almost.
I feel a bit bad for the Giant Horses, both the Giant Horse (Ganon's horse from BotW) and the Giant White Stallion. They seem to be redskins of each other. They both are missing half of the stats and the ability to gallop. Their 5 strength is no longer unique to them as other horses can be upgraded to that level.
I'm pretty sure they are a bit faster than their stats imply, maybe by virtue of having a longer stride, but it would be cool if you could dash with a monster sized horse.
Thinking about it, I feel a bit worse about the other non-upgradable horses. The Giant horses still have things that make them stand out (like their size and stride) but horses like the royal white stallion might just be completely outclassed by upgraded horses.
Time stamps were super helpful, so much less of a pain compared to all the googling I’d have had to do. Thanks man
3:30 was a gasp, yes that was precisely what I wanted to know!
A horse can eat an apple or carrot or whatever straight from your hands 🙌🏼 when you walk up to its mouth !
The only TH-camr worth turning my notifications on for. Thank you for another great walkthrough! Your early game guidance for TotK have been a lifesaver!
Such a useful mechanic for what’s been rendered the most useless form of transportation especially without being able to teleport your horse to you also great vid
I love starting a game months after everyone else because of videos like this. THANK YOU!!
Thank you for the video!!
it’s so sad the ancient bridle is not in totk. it was amazing that they can teleport to you instantly.
I would suggest a tutorial on getting the garden in Hateno in order to acquire excess veggies while you play easily.
Thank you SO MUCH for the info in the description as well!
Correcting on the copius fried wild greens. Any herb flower or vegetable will work so everything up to the sundelions work
I am going to wait for the master cycle!!!
Thank you so much for the extra mile with the lists
love your vids Austin! you helped my journey through botw (i was late to the party lol) and now ive not missed a single vid of yours on totk! thank you so much for caring so deeply about our gameplay and all your zelda content!!! it is very much appreciated! 🤗🤗🤗
i actually just got a max speed horse on the location you suggest to look😂
Absolutely LOVE this flood of Zelda content!
Upvoted especially for the dish timestamps. That was thoughtful of you, thanks.
Thanks to Malanya i can finally enjoy my pink horses. Caught colid color one, upgraded all stats, then got Spot quest and guess what? i found pink spotted horse with pink mane and now I HAVE TO upgrade her
First what a handy video thank you second I love how thorough everything is a lot of times people don't go into enough detail and then I spend five minutes looking for an endura carrot 😂 neway dear gawddddd do I miss the ancient set for the horse
... But i get that w 3 new levels it just be too OP
I named Zelda's golden horse Sonia.
Ironically, she was struck by lightning 3 times and died.
THANK YOU for posting this! I was struggling with figuring out the different recipes, so this was an awesome find! Thank you!
Another upload that is related to a random thing I talked about earlier. This man has a gift
Thanks for your videos! Did you know that you can feed your horse from hand? Just hold it and stand before the horse, so it can reach the food you're holding!
I used this to upgrade my horse from my BoTW pauseless run. After going through so much to get the highest stat horse I could get in that game and then taking on the world with him in a run devoid of fast travel, he deserves the world
LOL I'm cheap and use the amiibos for some ingredients. This game has way more content than botw. I haven't even scratched the surface. I'm almost completely done exploring the depths and haven't progressed the story but man is gonna be a slow good time beating this game. I love the vastness in this game.
Hello for the six time. Thank you for supplying all my horsey needs❤❤❤❤
Thank you for all your help you're giving us to make the game experience better for us :) you helped me so much in BOTW and in this game too and you're a great TH-camr and your energy is great and inspiring. Thanks for doing all of this and I always look forward to all of your videos :)
You've saved me countless hours of grinding, and especially your duplication glitch I just learned a couple days ago, which was heaven-sent, just like my favorite horse's name., Heaven. (This coming from a guy who loves easy and cheap access to ancient arrows to rid me of the annoying Yiga blade master or whatever else attacks me while I'm in a hurry, already battling or preoccupied with more important things. THANK YOU!!!
Awesome video. Thank you for all the info.
Who needs horse when you could have HOVERBIKE?!
Just had to add a comment for you literally telling ppl just go look up the recipe... Thank you .. liked and subscribed and watching the whole video.
I appreciate this video,
I found it helpful.
Thank you AustinJohn. 💚
I did this with a pink spotted horse, it was alot of work but it was worth it to have my perfect steed
RISSOTO !!!!! thankyou for all these videos you have been making i have really been appreciating all of them I love all of your videos. And will continue to keep watching the and supporting you. One question I am getting stuck on the goron quest out of the four can you please make a video on that, thankyou so much. !!!
I honestly loved hoses in BOTW and I rode them everywhere, glad there even more useful in TOTK.
Hi I don't know if you knew this or not but you can hold an apple or carrot and stand in front of the horse and they will eat it 😊 way quicker than them having to turn around to eat it.
This is perfect for the good looking horses with bad states. I am so happy they added this.
It might actually be best to upgrade a not-so-great horse, that way you can get a top tier horse with the gentle temperment
Don't you talk about S'mores like that!
This makes me so happy in breath of the wild i have a pinto I named her Rain and she is absolutely very special to me i kept her despite her terrible stats i remember trying to find a pinto with good stats for hours Little did I know that it wasn't possible to get that... So I kept rain just because I loved her and now and tears the kingdom I can make her strong! She deserves it :) sadly my copy of botw was on the wii U and i can't transfer her over.... I'm currently working on btow on the switch now and I'll keep my eye out for a horse that looks just like Rain and she will be my first horse and I'll transfer her over to tears of the kingdom and give her the boost she deserves :') this literally made me so happy 😁
Great video I've been trying to find the recipes forever thank you so much
Does anyone know a good place to farm bee honey
I love this so much. I have Epona and Zeldas horse from BOTW but I only use the first horse I ever got. This was fine in Botw with the ancient horse armour but In Totk it was annoying to use 😅
Im so glad they made this a feature in the game, in botw i would just beat the game because i always find a horse which has all 4-5 stars in speed and strength with 3-4 starts within stamina. It was honestly annoying only being able to find that horse until im already done with the game.
I was excited when i actually saw that the horse saved over to totk since i honestly didn't want yo find another horse like that all over again, but i was ecstatic when I found out about that feature with melanya it will save me a lot of time looking for specific horses (ones that are fast and have high stamina) it will also save me time from having to switch horses whenever i want to pull a cart or something
