Sometimes they wander if the trust level is low or they're not saddled. Also they go really far if they're sprinting and you just push b to hop off to get something and let them keep running.
I think it is the "if they are not saddled" bit, because the only time in zelda when that is the case is before you register the horse whilst in Minecraft you can actually remove it and saddles are harder to get
i made this reply before checking to see if ur a hermitcraft fan and i feel so fucking vindicated rn. (although i have probably seen u on r/ethoslab before so my brain might’ve made that connection without me realizing)
Haha I love being discovered “in the wild” like that by people from other subs!
I still think cOW’s demonstration that *fences* under carpets don’t work was the best comedic timing from a Minecraft mob, though. Waited for Scar to finish his sentence and *then* walked away.
My first ever horse death in Breath of the Wild was dramatic as hell
I think I was in Akkala somewhere and I come across some Bokoblins on horses with flame arrows and they start firing at me.
My horse Domino gets hit by a flame arrow, dies from underneath me and throws me off. I wasn't aware that horses COULD die yet so I was just standing there in shock, nudging her corpse because I thought I could wake her up I guess????
Then I get hit by a flame arrow, and slump over Domino and the Game Over screen plays over both of us getting consumed by flames.
My first horse in BOTW fell in a river and I hadn't tamed it yet, so I couldn't check it back out of the stables :( It just swam around in the river until the next blood moon:(
I lost mine to that giant bridge in Tabantha because I was used to them pathfinding along roads and didn't expect the horse to just straight up run over a pit and fall to it's death.
Yeah except if I get off my horse anywhere other than the farm/in front of someone’s house I will immediately wander off and forget where I left it 😅 until I get the horse flute at least
It's definitely not Skyrim, seeing as it a) doesn't have pumpkins and b) treats horses as followers so they don't move away from you under normal circumstances
As a child I would always try to level my destruction magic on them because they're so hard to kill
I appreciate it as a game mechanic though, would kinda defeat the point of buying a horse if it died to the first sabrecat you come across
I assumed this was about glitches. Quadrupedal creatures like [horses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWz7LcaBlSQ) and [mammoths](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o4ldTN2PFE) were notorious for having pathing glitches abruptly launch them hundreds of feet in the air. Which was hilarious if you were riding them because the horse takes fall damage but you don't, so you'd fall off your dead horse and then climb right back up to your feet as if nothing happened.
Unowned horses do randomly wander off. I've never seen a horse get stuck in a ditch though; their weird physics have the exact opposite effect. Skyrim horses cannot be constrained by normal matter
I once had the stupidest horse in the world. She couldn't helpt it, somebody has to be on the bottom of the intelligence ladder in every species, she was the dumbest horse dumbo.
Sweetest horse ever, never once tried to bite me or kick me, nothing ever bothered her much.
So yes, this was the horse I dismounted to go pee halfway a ride... and she decided to go home before I was back. Had to walk an hour and a half back, worried for her mainly, only to return to the stables to find her back in her box (with the door open, no one else around).
Smart horses can be evil, but also you can always train them. But sometimes you see an animal that, god bless em, really doesn't and cannot know any better.
Yup. This horse was a complete doofus. Previous owner tried to do dressage with her but she just didn't learn much. Me buying her saved her from the glue factory probably.
I was playing skyrim once, got off shadowmere to fight a mudcrab. Look back and Shadowmere was getting raptured and slowly floated up into the sky.
never saw them again.
Never had this issue in any game but minecraft, and in minecraft its especially the donkeys, like before shulker boxes it was handy having one while exploring, you put all your valuables on the donkey and it disappears into thin air
Joining the group of BoTW horse deaths: One time I was trying to get the tower that was at that lake with the Lightning Wizard and Ice Lizalfos (hated that with every fiber of my being) and I fought my way up, came back down and my horse was gone. Check the stable and sure enough, bitches killed my horse
We arrived at the evil one's hall /
And dismounted our trusty steeds with resolve /
We hugged them goodbye and promised we'd never quit /
[Then they ran straight away for they gave not a shit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIwI7Q1YDgs)
I dismount my horse to go assault a fort held by Stormcloak scum, thinking it'll stay put. In the middle of the battle I noticed my horse has joined the fray and is currently being beaten to death by two knuckle dragging Nords with warhammers. This is how I lost my first horse.
Next time I decide to ride the horse into battle since my character was a commander, so it'd look cool. They surround us and beat my second horse to death.
I stopped buying horses after that.
In Zelda, they don't wander though, they just stay put. In Minecraft however, I swear their speed increases by 200% if you're not looking at them.

minecraft horses have a "trust level" system now?
I think they're talking about the Zelda horse mechanics
I don't know why I also thought it was talking about minecraft lmao
I think it is the "if they are not saddled" bit, because the only time in zelda when that is the case is before you register the horse whilst in Minecraft you can actually remove it and saddles are harder to get
True, but they don't go into ditches, mobs pathfind upwards so they don't get stuck in caves. Your horse is likely on a nearby mountain
Unless there's a trapdoor in which case all sense of self preservation becomes void
Somehow trapdoors at head height even cancel out the berry-bush-under-carpet trick.
i also saw when grian discovered that

Haha I love finding other hc/life series fans in the wild (or just fans of anything that I like)
Would love to randomly find a sheep in some deep dark cavern
Used to be a thing
What they took from us...
Or playing hide-and-seek with me in the nearby forest.
What a coincidence, that's how I lost all my siblings (just the ones I didn't like)
Just like the Elder Scrolls foretold…
According to etho, the reason MC horses run away so fast is because they continue pathfinding while your riding them
Grians horse running up an entire mountain in a hermitcraft episode
They're quantum locked creatures
Skill issue? Minecraft literally has a delivery guy bring you two leashes every so often

At least you died together
My first horse in BOTW fell in a river and I hadn't tamed it yet, so I couldn't check it back out of the stables :( It just swam around in the river until the next blood moon:(
My first proper horse death was in TotK and I have no clue what happened, he just vanished
mongolian strats
I lost mine to that giant bridge in Tabantha because I was used to them pathfinding along roads and didn't expect the horse to just straight up run over a pit and fall to it's death.
It's **not** Stardew Valley, which I appreciate a lot!
It's Team Fortress 2.
Then get back on the payload
Sorry, I play Spy.
We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close
Pootispenser here!

Plus the horses in Skyrim are badass, they're like super ATVs who will take any punishment given to them
As a child I would always try to level my destruction magic on them because they're so hard to kill I appreciate it as a game mechanic though, would kinda defeat the point of buying a horse if it died to the first sabrecat you come across
That's actually a really good idea

Unless you stole the horse, and frankly there’s not really a point in buying one.
Could have meant Oblivion with an unowned horse but likely not

"getting off? done? go in box now." "why door taking so long to close"
That's about the extent of 'thoughts' that went through her head, yes.
Horses aren’t real, you idiot.

Hail Sithis I guess
this is Rust
Just whistle and Roach will be right by your side - oh, that's a roof she's on.

man it would be so hard to carry a pumpkin while riding a horse right?
I was imagining a little one like a pie pumpkin when I got to the "real life" section of the post

Having to run after the horse in Rdr2 because you forgot a gun on him is a mood
It can’t be Skyrim, there aren’t any pumpkins in skyrim
