Epona The Horse Epona is Link's horse in the game. Using her, you can travel around the land of Hyrule much quicker. Though getting her is not such an easy task, but it is if you know what to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Getting Epona To get Epona, first visit Lon Lon Ranch as a child. Talk to the girl in the field, Malon and then hold out your ocarina. Malon will then teach you Epona's Song. (Up C, Left C, Right C, Up C, Left C, Right C) Go back to Lon Lon Ranch when you're an adult and then you will see that Ingo has taken over. Talk to Ingo and he'll offer you time to ride a horse. Pay the Rupees necessary and ride Epona. Call her by playing Epona's Song and she'll come to you. Ride around and waste the time, then when your time's up, talk to Ingo again and pay him the Rupees again. Play Epona's Song once again and Epona will come to you again. After climbing up on her, talk to Ingo and he'll talk about you becoming better and he'll challenge you to a little race. Bet the Rupees and prepare to race. The first race isn't too hard. At the begining, Ingo will try to smash you up against the wall, making you go slower, but use about 3 carrots and zoom ahead of him. Just keep a steady pace by using only 1 carrot. If you do so, you will win. Ingo will then complain and say that if you beat him again you can keep Epona. This time the race is a bit harder. Ingo will do the same thing, try to smash you against the wall, but use about 4 carrots and race ahead of him. He will be right behind you at times, but block him from taking the lead. In this race, use about 3 or 4 carrots to stay in the lead. When you win, congratulations, Epona is yours, but Ingo won't let you get out of the ranch. To get out, just use about 3 carrots and jump over the wall. If you do it correctly, you will be in Hyrule Field! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. What Epona Can Do Mostly Epona can make you go around Hyrule faster. She helps a lot when you have to do the Biggoron Sword trading sequence. When you want to get over a little fence, just speed up a bit and she'll hop over. That's about it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Secrets Play Epona's Song in front of a cow and the cow will give you free Lon Lon Milk! If you wish to do some more racing, head back to Lon Lon Ranch after getting Epona and you'll see that it is once again peaceful. Talk to Malon, who is in front of all the horses in their pen, and she'll talk to you about having Epona. Then she'll say that she'll give you something if you win her little obstacle course. You must beat it in 49 seconds. The obstacle course isn't that easy. Use carrots to jump over the larger fences and speed up only when necessary. It will take a few tries, but you'll win it eventually. After beating it in 49 seconds, Malon will tell you that the prize is too large and it was delivered to your house. Head back to Kokiri Forest and go back into your house where you started out as a kid. You'll go inside and see that you have gotten a free cow! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Disclaimer Do not copy anything from this FAQ.
