Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: How to attach a horse to a wagon

Learn how to use the towing harness to attach your horse to a cart, wagon or any other item

In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom there are a number of requests which require you to pull a wagon using your horse. This includes a number of Korok quests that ask you to transport them to their friends, and the Great Fairy quests, which you will need to complete before you can upgrade your armor.

Before you attempt any of this, you will first need to catch and register a horse or transfer your horses over from Breath of the Wild. If you don’t think your horses are up to the job, we have guides on how to capture the best horses and how to upgrade your horse if you’ve already grown attached.

How to get the towing harness – Zelda TotK

Before you can attach your horse to a wagon, you will first need a towing harness. This is given to you at any stable in exchange for three Pony Points. You will earn one Pony Point for every stable you visit, but you can also get them for other tasks like registering new horses. If you need more Pony Points then you can check out our guide on all Stable locations.

Once you have three Pony Points, you can now claim your towing harness. To do this, interact with the ledger that you can find inside the stables next to the counter. The Stable receptionist will then talk to you and give you your towing harness. He’ll also let you know how many Pony Points you have in case you don’t have enough yet.

You can always check how many Pony Points you need for your next reward by looking at your Pony Points Card which you will find under Key Items in your inventory.

Once you have the towing harness, you can attach it to your horse. If you have your horse with you, talk to the receptionist and select ‘Customize horse’ to attach the harness.

If your horse is still in the stable, when you try to take the horse out, it will automatically ask you if you want to attach the towing harness.

After you have harnessed your horse, walk it over to the wagon you want to attach it to. You can then use Ultrahand to attach the wagon to the towing harness.

This is best done by attaching the wooden block of the harness to the handle of the wagon. If your horse is too far away, it is easier to move the wagon to the horse with Ultrahand, than the horse to the wagon, as the latter can spook it into running off.
