So been researching breath of the wild.
So you can get Ganondorf's giant black horse
A royal white stallion (apparently fastest horse in the game.
And epona.
What I'm asking for is feedback on some of these horse names I been looking and thinking up.
Naturally I got the 3 goddesses. Din, Nayru, and Farore (terrible name).
Next I went the logical step and found that Zelda and Ganondorf have germanic roots in their name. So I looked up german for power wisdom and courage. Leistung, Weisheit (sounds dirty) and... Mut (seriously?)
Then I started looking up mythical horses. Mostly greek came up.
1. Deimos. A Mare of Diomedes. One of the 4 mad horses that killed and ate humans and was one of herakle's 12 labours. Horses were black and huge and red eyed.
2. Pegasus. Apparently Poseidon is a horse god (huh). And Pegasus was born from a Gorgon (medusa) and Poseidon (guy can't seem to ever make normal demi gods).
3. Sleipnir. Looking up legendary white stallions. I came up with Odin's own horse that was said to be the fastest in the land. Horse of a king. Royal white stallion?
4. Arion. A talking horse that Herakles rode once and stuff... (seriously courage is really hard to find good names for). Apparently a descendant of pegasus (so Herakles is riding his animal horse cousin)
