Bridle
Bridles are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]
Location and Uses
Breath of the Wild
Bridles are a type of Horse Gear that are equipped to a Horse's head. They can be obtained by registering Horses, completing Mini-Games, or opening Treasure Chests across Hyrule. With the exception of the Ancient Bridle, all Bridles are cosmetic and offer no changes to horseback riding. The Stable Bridle is also the only Bridle that is not a Key Item in Link's Inventory.
Only four Stables have a Worker who can change the Bridle of Link's Horses, and they will only do so when Link has the highest Bond possible with his Horse. However, they will not change the Bridle of the Giant Horse or Epona.[3][4] The Stable are as follows:

Tears of the Kingdom
Like in Breath of the Wild, Bridles are a type of Horse Gear. They can now be equipped by speaking to the owner of any Stable, who is able to switch out the Bridle worn by Link's Horses.[5][6] However, the Bridles of Epona, the Giant Horse, and the Giant White Stallion are unable to be changed.[7][8]

Hello there! That's a mighty fine horse you have there. If you like, I can change out her gear or maybe... Oh? Actually, this horse is different from any I've ever seen before. My, she's so lovely and graceful... I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure this little lady would absolutely hate it if you changed her mane or gear. I'm so sorry about that.

Hello there! That's a mighty fine horse you have. If you like, I can change out its gear or maybe... Oh? My goodness, that's no pony, is it? It's so big! I'm sorry, but I don't think I have any gear that'd fit such a large horse, and I bet it wouldn't like its mane handled... I'm so sorry about that.

So, what would you like to do? Give your horse a harness? Put on a new saddle or bridle? Restyle its mane?

Thanks for waiting! If you'd like, you can also equip your horse with— Wait... What am I saying? We don't have any other saddles or bridles that would be suitable for that horse. And I don't think that steed would want me to mess with its mane either. But if you ask me, there's no need to make changes anyway—your horse looks great without them!

Thanks for waiting! If you'd like, you can also equip your horse with— Uh... Scratch that. We don't actually have any other saddles or bridles big enough for a horse that size. And I don't think that steed would want me to mess with its mane either. But if you ask me, there's no need to make changes anyway—your horse looks great without them!
