{{Term|BotW|Malanya}} explains that if one of {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Plural|BotW|Horse}} is killed, he will be able to revive it.<ref>{{Cite|If a horse you love passes away from some sort of tragic, fatal accident, it is within my power to revive that horse...|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> This only works on {{Plural|BotW|Horse}} that have been registered at a {{Term|BotW|Stable|link}}.

Let me see...|Malanya|BotW}}</ref>
 
On subsequent visits to {{Term|BotW|Malanya Spring}}, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will recognize {{Term|BotW|Link}} when he emerges from the {{Term|BotW|Water (Terrain)}}.<ref>{{Cite|It's you again...|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> He asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} why he has returned, and he takes a look at {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Plural|BotW|Horse}} to ensure their wellbeing.<ref>{{Cite|Why have you sought me out? Surely no ill has befallen your beloved, faithful steeds... Let me see|Malanya|BotW}}</ref>
 
Should {{Term|BotW|Link}} not have any dead {{Plural|BotW|Horse}}, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} claims that all seems well.<ref>{{Cite|...Hrm! I see you're good with horses. All seems to be well.|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} has a high bond with one of his {{Plural|BotW|Horse}}, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} notes that they have an extraordinary friendship.<ref>{{Cite|The friendship you established with a horse really is extraordinary.|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> He reminds {{Term|BotW|Link}} that his {{Plural|BotW|Horse}} care for him, just as he does for them.<ref>{{Cite|Remember that such a friendship is a two-way road. Horses care for you as much as you do for them.|Malanya|BotW}}</ref>
 
Alternatively, if {{Term|BotW|Link}} does not have any {{Plural|BotW|Horse}} registered when he speaks to {{Term|BotW|Malanya}}, he will be shocked.<ref>{{Cite|...Whoa. Do you really not own a single horse?|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} cannot imagine going through life without a {{Term|BotW|Horse}}, but he supposes this is how {{Term|BotW|Link}} lives his life.<ref>{{Cite|I can't imagine going through the world without a faithful steed to keep me company... To each their own, I suppose.|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> He is unable to do anything to help those who have decided to avoid {{Plural|BotW|Horse}}.<ref>{{Cite|In that case, I, the god of horses, can not do much for you who avoids horses for some reason.|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> However, if {{Term|BotW|Link}} ever does befriend a {{Term|BotW|Horse}} that later dies, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} tells him to come see him.<ref>{{Cite|If you ever do bond with a horse and then tragedy strikes that proud friend, you should come see me.|Malanya|BotW}}</ref>
 
If one of {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Plural|BotW|Horse}} has died, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will be able to tell.<ref>{{Cite|...Neigh! A horse, loyal and true, has fallen during your adventures!|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> In anger, he threatens to end {{Term|BotW|Link}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|I could end you, right here and now!}}|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> He quickly calms down, revealing this to be another joke, and he asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} if he would like the {{Term|BotW|Horse}} to be revived.<ref>{{Cite|I jest, of course... Shall I bring a companion back to travel with you once more?|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} agrees, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will ask him to choose among his deceased {{Plural|BotW|Horse}}.<ref>{{Cite|Select a loyal friend to bring back...|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> Depending on how {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Term|BotW|Horse}} died, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will have differing reactions to {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s request.
 
If {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Term|BotW|Horse}} died to a {{Term|BotW|Guardian|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will be moved by how well it served its master.<ref>{{Cite|Hrm... You want to revive this horse? It seems this brave animal spent its last moments in a fight with a Guardian. It served its master well. I'm so moved...|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> However, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} becomes angry that {{Term|BotW|Link}} was not able to control his {{Term|BotW|Horse}} well enough to save its life.<ref>{{Cite|Alas, if you had managed to control this loyal beast with more skill... {{Big|I wouldn't have to revive it!}}|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} then claims to be joking, and he asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} if he is certain he wants to revive this {{Term|BotW|Horse}}.<ref>{{Cite|I jest... This must have been one brave friend. Would you like to revive it and return it to your side?|Malanya|BotW}}</ref>
 
If {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Term|BotW|Horse}} died due to an explosion, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will be saddened by its manner of death.<ref>{{Cite|Hrm... Would you like to revive this horse? Oh, goodness! It was caught in an explosion? Poor soul...|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> While he does not want to cast unwarranted doubt on {{Term|BotW|Link}}, he wonders if he actually killed his {{Term|BotW|Horse}}.<ref>{{Cite|Not to cast suspicion where none is warranted, but...you didn't kill the horse, did you?|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> However, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} decides this could not be, and he asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} again if he wants to revive the {{Term|BotW|Horse}}.<ref>{{Cite|It couldn't be the case. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Would you like to revive this horse?|Malanya|BotW}}</ref>
 
If {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Term|BotW|Horse}} was killed by him, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will be shocked.<ref>{{Cite|So... You would like to revive this horse? This one, specifically? I can do that, of course! But... What is this...|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> He asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} if he only wants to revive his {{Term|BotW|Horse}} so he can kill it again, and he accuses {{Term|BotW|Link}} of thinking of {{Plural|BotW|Horse}} only as tools that can be discarded.<ref>{{Cite|This horse says that YOU killed it! You! How could you?! Do you plan to revive it just to kill it again? Are horses only a tool to you? Do you treat their noble lives so casually that you'd use them and throw them away?|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} claims that if he were a {{Term|BotW|Horse}}, he would kick {{Term|BotW|Link}} in the chest.<ref>{{Cite|If I were a horse right now... {{Big|I'd kick you in the chest!}}|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> After claiming to be joking again, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} asserts that {{Term|BotW|Link}} likely struck his {{Term|BotW|Horse}} on accident, and he asks for confirmation that {{Term|BotW|Link}} would like to revive his "temporarily betrayed" friend.<ref>{{Cite|I...jest. You accidentally struck the horse, I'm sure. Would you like to revive this loyal, temporarily betrayed friend?|Malanya|BotW}}</ref>
 
If {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Term|BotW|Horse}} died in any other manner, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will call it an accident, which he assures {{Term|BotW|Link}} happen sometimes.<ref>{{Cite|Hrm. I can tell that this horse died due to an unexpected accident. Worry not, this happens from time to time.|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> He claims that the {{Term|BotW|Horse}} knows that its death was not {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s intention, and he asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} if he is certain that this is the {{Term|BotW|Horse}} he wants to revive.<ref>{{Cite|The horse knows that you did not mean for this to happen. Would you like for me to revive this horse?|Malanya|BotW}}</ref>
 
When {{Term|BotW|Link}} once again confirms his decision to revive his {{Term|BotW|Horse}}, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will then attempt to bring it back.<ref>{{Cite|Ah, understood! Let me bring back this horse!|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> He will then wave his hands in the air and spin his head, after which the selected {{Term|BotW|Horse}} will appear nearby. After this, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} proclaims that he was successful in reviving the {{Term|BotW|Horse}}.<ref>{{Cite|I was successfully able to bring back the horse!|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> In the future, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} reminds {{Term|BotW|Link}} to take good care of his {{Plural|BotW|Horse}}, as they are supposed to be partners.<ref>{{Cite|Next time, don't let the horse die! Horses are your partners. Don't forget that.|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> He warns {{Term|BotW|Link}} that he will regret it if he is careless with them.<ref>{{Cite|If you're careless with their lives, you may regret it... {{Big|UNDERSTAND?}}|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} claims that he is only joking for now.<ref>{{Cite|I jest... For now!|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> At the end of their conversation, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will collapse and fall back into his {{Term|BotW|Malanya Spring|display=Spring}}.
 
When {{Term|BotW|Link}} makes another visit to {{Term|BotW|Malanya Spring}}, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} will be shocked that he has come back to revive another {{Term|BotW|Horse}}.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, you again... You didn't come here to revive a horse again, did you?|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> He explains that he only helped {{Term|BotW|Link}} for free the first time due to the fact that he freed him, but he is too busy to always be available to him.<ref>{{Cite|I felt I was in your debt before since you freed me from that bud and all...but you didn't think I'd always help out, right? {{Big|I'm very busy!}}|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> However, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} reveals that if {{Term|BotW|Link}} were to bring him something, he would continue to revive his {{Plural|BotW|Horse}}.<ref>{{Cite|I jest. I feel that there is respect in your heart... If you bring me something, I would consider helping you once more.|Malanya|BotW}}</ref> At {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s confusion, {{Term|BotW|Malanya}} reveals that he needs {{Plural|BotW|Endura Carrot|link}}, which he has only eaten once.<ref>{{Cite|[Some...thing?] I may not look the part, but I am the {{Color|BotW Red|god of horses}}.

Malanya is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[5][6][7]

Biography

Breath of the Wild

Malanya is the god who watches over the Horses of the world.[8] He makes his home in the Faron Region in Malanya Spring, near the Lake of the Horse God. While he has a strange sense of humor about reviving Horses, he will not harm those who truly care for them.[9]

When first visited, Malanya is found trapped inside the bud of his Spring. He begs Link to listen to his story.[10] If Link agrees, Malanya introduces himself and asks if he has ever lost one of his Horses.[11] Malanya claims that if his power is restored, he will be able to help Link.[12] In order to regain his power, Malanya requires 1,000 Rupees.[13] His hand will appear from inside the bud, and he will ask Link to hand over his Rupees.[14]

If Link agrees to the payment, Malanya will thank him.[15] Malanya Spring will then open, and Malanya's power will be restored.[16] Malanya himself then emerges from the Water, and he remarks on how free he feels.[17] He recognizes Link as the one who set him free.[18] Malanya then properly introduces himself to Link, explaining he presides over the Horses of the world.[8] Since Link helped, Malanya believes he should grant Link a reward.[19] Malanya considers eating him for a meal, which causes Link to take on a defensive stance.[20] However, Malanya reveals that he is joking.[21]

Malanya explains that if one of Link's Horses is killed, he will be able to revive it.[22] This only works on Horses that have been registered at a Stable. He warns Link that if he believes the Horse's death was by his own hands, he will be subject to his wrath.[23] Claiming to be joking once again, Malanya takes a look at Link's Horses.[24]

On subsequent visits to Malanya Spring, Malanya will recognize Link when he emerges from the Water.[25] He asks Link why he has returned, and he takes a look at Link's Horses to ensure their wellbeing.[26]

Should Link not have any dead Horses, Malanya claims that all seems well.[27] If Link has a high bond with one of his Horses, Malanya notes that they have an extraordinary friendship.[28] He reminds Link that his Horses care for him, just as he does for them.[29]

Alternatively, if Link does not have any Horses registered when he speaks to Malanya, he will be shocked.[30] Malanya cannot imagine going through life without a Horse, but he supposes this is how Link lives his life.[31] He is unable to do anything to help those who have decided to avoid Horses.[32] However, if Link ever does befriend a Horse that later dies, Malanya tells him to come see him.[33]

If one of Link's Horses has died, Malanya will be able to tell.[34] In anger, he threatens to end Link.[35] He quickly calms down, revealing this to be another joke, and he asks Link if he would like the Horse to be revived.[36] If Link agrees, Malanya will ask him to choose among his deceased Horses.[37] Depending on how Link's Horse died, Malanya will have differing reactions to Link's request.

If Link's Horse died to a Guardian, Malanya will be moved by how well it served its master.[38] However, Malanya becomes angry that Link was not able to control his Horse well enough to save its life.[39] Malanya then claims to be joking, and he asks Link if he is certain he wants to revive this Horse.[40]

If Link's Horse died due to an explosion, Malanya will be saddened by its manner of death.[41] While he does not want to cast unwarranted doubt on Link, he wonders if he actually killed his Horse.[42] However, Malanya decides this could not be, and he asks Link again if he wants to revive the Horse.[43]

If Link's Horse was killed by him, Malanya will be shocked.[44] He asks Link if he only wants to revive his Horse so he can kill it again, and he accuses Link of thinking of Horses only as tools that can be discarded.[45] Malanya claims that if he were a Horse, he would kick Link in the chest.[46] After claiming to be joking again, Malanya asserts that Link likely struck his Horse on accident, and he asks for confirmation that Link would like to revive his "temporarily betrayed" friend.[47]

If Link's Horse died in any other manner, Malanya will call it an accident, which he assures Link happen sometimes.[48] He claims that the Horse knows that its death was not Link's intention, and he asks Link if he is certain that this is the Horse he wants to revive.[49]

When Link once again confirms his decision to revive his Horse, Malanya will then attempt to bring it back.[50] He will then wave his hands in the air and spin his head, after which the selected Horse will appear nearby. After this, Malanya proclaims that he was successful in reviving the Horse.[51] In the future, Malanya reminds Link to take good care of his Horses, as they are supposed to be partners.[52] He warns Link that he will regret it if he is careless with them.[53] Malanya claims that he is only joking for now.[54] At the end of their conversation, Malanya will collapse and fall back into his Spring.

When Link makes another visit to Malanya Spring, Malanya will be shocked that he has come back to revive another Horse.[55] He explains that he only helped Link for free the first time due to the fact that he freed him, but he is too busy to always be available to him.[56] However, Malanya reveals that if Link were to bring him something, he would continue to revive his Horses.[57] At Link's confusion, Malanya reveals that he needs Endura Carrots, which he has only eaten once.[58] When Link hands over an Endura Carrot, Malanya will agree to revive one of his Horses.[59]

Tears of the Kingdom

After the Upheaval, Malanya has relocated his Spring to Akkala, on a peninsula within Bloodleaf Lake near East Akkala Stable. Initially, he will stay inside Malanya Spring, but he will leave when Link gives him an Endura Carrot.[60]

After receiving the Endura Carrot, Malanya will grant Horse-related wishes for Link in exchange for food.[61] In addition to resurrecting dead Horses in exchange for a Roasted Endura Carrot, Malanya now offers to enhance a Horse's stats if given certain Meals.[62][63] However, he cannot enhance the stats of Epona, the Giant Horse, or Giant White Stallion, claiming it does not want their abilities enhanced.[64] Each trait can be upgraded to five stars at maximum, at which point Malanya claims the Horse will become too powerful if he continues.[65]

Malanya is also featured on the Horse-God Fabric, unlocked at five Pony Points. He also delivers messages to those who sleep in a Malanya Bed, unlocked at seven Pony Points.

Upgrades

Malanya will accept Meals regardless of their specific ingredients or whether they grant any additional effects.
