Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: Ride the Giant Horse quest guide
A handful of shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom require you to put in a little more work than just showing up and heading inside. Some of them need you to locate glowing green crystals hidden nearby. The Ishokin Shrine is one such shrine, and while the crystal is easily found nearby, its current owner isn’t keen on letting you take it. This is easily remedied though, as they want to see a giant horse, and there happens to be one in the area.
We’ll show you the Giant White Stallion location so you can complete the Ride the Giant Horse shrine quest.

Giant horse location – Zelda TOTK
The giant horse can easily be found at the Lake of the Horse God which is southeast of the Highland stable. If you’re not sure where that is, follow our guide for all stable locations – but you should be able to see it from the hill the shrine is on.
Either climb the cliff or follow the path around to get to the lake and you’ll spot the giant horse in the distance. Make sure you sneak up to it to make it easy for yourself and be ready to mash the L button to soothe the horse once you’ve mounted it.
Once you’ve got it, you can register it in the nearby stable if you like, but most importantly you should take it back to Baddek, who will let you take the crystal in thanks.
Then you just need to carry it down the hill to the shrine.
The shrine itself is a simple blessing shrine, so you can collect your rewards right away.
