What are the steps to complete the "The Royal White Stallion" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To complete "The Royal White Stallion" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you will need to locate and tame a rare white horse found in the wild. This quest is given by Toffa, a stable worker at the Outskirt Stable, located just west of Hyrule Castle. The quest involves finding the horse, taming it, and bringing it back to the stable. Here is a detailed guide to help you complete this quest successfully.

First, you need to speak with Toffa at the Outskirt Stable. He will tell you about a legendary white horse that roams the Safula Hill area, near the Sanidin Park Ruins. This horse is said to resemble the horses once ridden by the royal family of Hyrule. Toffa will ask you to find and tame this horse, then bring it back to the stable. Once you accept the quest, you can begin your search.

The white horse can be found in the area around Safula Hill, which is located to the southwest of the Outskirt Stable. The easiest way to reach this area is to travel to the Taobab Grassland, which is just south of the Great Plateau. From there, head northwest toward Safula Hill. The horse is usually found grazing near the Sanidin Park Ruins, which are marked by a large stone archway. Be cautious as you approach, as the horse is easily spooked and will run away if it detects you.

To tame the horse, you will need to sneak up on it. Crouch by pressing the left stick to move quietly. You can also use stealth-enhancing armor or elixirs to make this easier. Approach the horse from behind, as it is less likely to notice you. When you are close enough, press the A button to mount the horse. Once mounted, you will need to soothe the horse by pressing the L button repeatedly. The horse will buck and try to throw you off, so you must time your button presses to match its movements. If you fail, you will be thrown off and will need to try again.

Once you have successfully tamed the horse, you can ride it back to the Outskirt Stable. Be careful on your way back, as the horse can still be spooked by enemies or environmental hazards. If the horse takes too much damage, it will run away, and you will need to find and tame it again. To avoid this, try to stick to safe paths and avoid confrontations with enemies.

When you arrive at the Outskirt Stable, speak with Toffa again. He will be impressed that you managed to tame the legendary horse and will offer to register it for you. Registering the horse costs 20 rupees, but it allows you to keep the horse and call it back to any stable in the future. Once registered, the quest will be complete, and you will receive a reward of a Royal Bridle and Royal Saddle, which can be equipped on the white horse to give it a more regal appearance.

There are a few important tips to keep in mind while completing this quest. First, make sure you have enough stamina to tame the horse. The white horse requires more stamina to tame than regular horses, so consider increasing your stamina wheel or using stamina-restoring food or elixirs. Second, avoid using weapons or running near the horse before attempting to mount it, as this will scare it away. Finally, if you are having trouble sneaking up on the horse, consider using stealth-enhancing gear or elixirs to make the process easier.

Common mistakes to avoid include approaching the horse from the front, which will scare it away, and failing to soothe the horse quickly enough once mounted. If you are thrown off, the horse will run away, and you will need to start the process over. Additionally, be cautious of enemies in the area, as they can disrupt your attempt to tame the horse.

Advanced techniques for this quest include using the environment to your advantage. For example, you can use trees or rocks to block the horse's path and make it easier to approach. You can also use the paraglider to glide down from a high point and land near the horse, reducing the time it takes to sneak up on it.

Required items for this quest include a good amount of stamina and possibly stealth-enhancing gear or elixirs. You do not need any specific weapons or armor, but having a few stamina-restoring items can be helpful.

Alternative approaches to this quest include using a different horse to reach the area more quickly or using the environment to trap the horse and make it easier to tame. However, the basic strategy of sneaking up on the horse and taming it remains the same.

In summary, "The Royal White Stallion" side quest involves finding and taming a rare white horse near Safula Hill. By sneaking up on the horse, mounting it, and soothing it, you can tame it and bring it back to the Outskirt Stable. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can complete this quest and add a majestic horse to your collection.
