In Hyrule Warriors, Ganondorf's Horse briefly appears in Ganondorf's intro. It is ridden into battle shortly before Ganondorf dismounts it by levitating. It looks nearly identical to Epona rather than being a Gerudo stallion.

Ganondorf's Horse is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] Ganondorf's Horse goes unnamed in Twilight Princess, Tears of the Kingdom, and Hyrule Warriors.
Biography
Ocarina of Time
The first appearance Ganondorf's Horse makes in Ocarina of Time is during Link's nightmare prior to Navi awakening him. The horse is a black Gerudo stallion with a fiery mane and tail that match the color of Ganondorf's hair.[2] Ganondorf rides his Horse while pursuing Impa and Princess Zelda as they flee from Hyrule Castle after Link gathers the three Spiritual Stones.
Ganondorf's Horse is equipped with warhorse armor, called barding, including a plate champron, to protect the Horse's face, a full criniere, to protect the neck, a sturdy peytral, to protect the chest and shoulder region, and a red and gold cloth caparison.
Ganondorf's Phantom in the Forest Temple rides an identical stallion, although after being hit by some arrows, the steed abandons its master.
Twilight Princess
Ganondorf's Horse in Twilight Princess has a much thicker build, muted color scheme, and new armor design, including a croupiere to protect the Horse's hindquarters, a smaller peytral, and without a colorful caparison. The Horse plays a larger role in this game as Ganondorf's mode of transport while engaged in a horseback battle with Link and Princess Zelda.
Tears of the Kingdom
Ganondorf's Horse is mostly black with red stripes around its body. Its mane and tail are completely blood red, and has red stripes on its horn which is located on its head similarly to a unicorn. It is only shown during a single cutscene.
