Where to find Ganon's Horse in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
To find Ganon's Horse in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, you will need to head to a small outcrop of shoreline that's part of Hateno Bay. This is just southeast of Hateno Village. You can see its location on the map below:
Head up the hill behind Hateno Village to get a good jumping point, and use your Paraglider to head down to the beach. You'll spot Ganon's Horse almost immediately, given that it's significantly larger than the other horse nearby. Make sure to take a picture with your Camera for the Compendium.

After a while, your bond will increase (your bond level can be checked at a stable), and Ganon's Horse will become much easier to control.
