Every horse in Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a limited amount of stamina. You can sprint for a set number of times before your horse needs to rest for a few seconds. But if you’re willing to take advantage of a new glitch, you can have it spring continuously.
The first thing you’ll need is a shield. Other than that, you’ll have to put in some work to nail some button presses.

Yuji Horii teases Dragon Quest XI announcement to be made “in the coming days”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 12 Comments
Earlier today, the Dragon Quest-themed attraction opened at Universal Studios Japan. Series creator Yuji Horii was present, and shared a message during the opening ceremony.
About Dragon Quest XI, Horii teased:
“Everyone in the staff is working incredibly hard on it. I believe we’ll have some kind of announcement in the coming days, so please look forward to it.”
The common consensus is that Dragon Quest XI will finally be receiving a Japanese release date soon. Square Enix has previously spoken about wanting to have the RPG out within the series’ 30th anniversary, so the company has until May 27 to launch the game. It is possible though that XI won’t be ready until later in the year though.
