A horse is a common companion which can come in the form of a draft horse, pony, mule, or comparable equine animal. Alternatively, a camel can be gained in place of an equine. In any case, this animal is presumably trained to carry loads or passengers and follow simple instructions. Any one character can gain one horse for free, as if it were a common item, but gaining an additional horse has a set cost of 30 rupees.

As an Unusual Character

A horse can be made into an unusual character. Such a character begins with 30 rupees less than normal. A horse character may begin with any one Racial Perk appropriate to its species, even if the chosen perk would normally occupy more than one "perk slot." A horse's starting PWC is 2/1/1, and it has 1 less point than normal with which to increase its starting PWC score.

In Hyrule, it's not uncommon for exceptional animals to have intelligence comparable to Hylians. As such, exceptional horses may be capable of conscious thought, and are able to think and reason just like more intelligent races do. Such a horse may be able to communicate with other animals, but cannot fluently communicate with language-speaking races without a treasure like Language of Fauna.

As a horse lacks hands and is unable to speak, it may be incapable of gaining or using certain treasures, even if it possesses conscious thought.
