Zelda: Echoes - Get Your Horse! (Guide)

In "The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom", Hyrule can be explored on foot, horseback, or by using items and animals to reach new heights.

While exploration is fun, fast travel is essential, especially when avoiding side quests and encounters. Luckily, you can acquire a horse early on.

After completing the Stilled Suthorn Forest dungeon, rifts in the starting area will subside. Speak to Minister Sadari, who will lead you to Lueburry’s Hut, allowing you to explore Hyrule further.

To travel efficiently, head to Hyrule Ranch. This can be found by walking right from Suthorn Village, past the trampoline, and then north.

Hyrule Ranch is well-marked. Continue following the signs until you reach a farm with a father, daughter, and son, surrounded by plants and three horses. One horse is missing.

Talk to the father, and you'll automatically accept a quest to find the missing horse. He suggests heading west. Exit the farm and jump over a fence until you reach a body of water with a platform in the middle. The missing horse is on the platform.

To get the horse, jump into the water and climb onto the platform. Create a bridge for you and the horse to return to the farm. Once back, you can choose any of the three horses.

The farmer mentions one horse is being cared for for a special person. We suspect this is Link's horse, left behind before he went into battle and was captured. After talking to the farmer, choose a horse and ride away.
