Epona: Difference between revisions

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Epona can be found in [[Lon Lon Ranch]] with [[Malon]] as a child. She is a shy horse who keeps her distance from everybody other than Malon. After [[Link]] talks to Malon, she teaches him [[Epona's Song]]. During this time, Epona grows fond of Link. When Link returns as an adult, and after paying [[Ingo]] to take a ride on a horse, Epona's Song can be played to summon Epona and ride her around the enclosed area. If Link speaks to Ingo while mounted on Epona, he will challenge him to a [[Horse Race]]. Beating him twice allows Link to keep Epona, and although Ingo tries to keep him from leaving the ranch, he can simply jump a fence to get out.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Epona appears in the opening cutscene as [[Link]] is traveling to [[Termina]]. Epona is then kidnapped by the [[Skull Kid]] and disappears for a portion of the story. Link finds Epona in [[Romani Ranch]] later in his adventure, but is unable to ride her unless he manages to get into the ranch on the [[First Day]] using a [[Powder Keg]], and agrees to help [[Romani]] with her alien problem.

[[File:Epona-Sprite.png|right]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Epona is owned by [[Malon]] and used to help pull the wagon that contains [[Lon Lon Milk]] from [[Lon Lon Ranch]]. Epona is only in [[Hyrule Town]] whenever Malon is also in town, otherwise she can be found back at the ranch. If [[Link]] tries to talk to Epona while in his normal form, Epona will just reply with horse noises.{{Ref|TMC|1613|Epona}}

However, if Link is in [[Minish]] form, he can talk to Epona, who tells him to buy some Lon Lon Milk from her so that the wagon is not as heavy on the way back to the ranch.{{Ref|TMC|2348|Epona}} Link is able to fuse [[Kinstone|Green Kinstones]] with Epona.{{Ref|TMC|1152|Epona}} As it is a Green Kinstone fusion, it is not set to a specific treasure chest, but instead, one of the many possible treasure chests. There is one random [[Kinstone|Red Kinstone]] within the game that opens up a location in the [[Hyrule Castle Garden]] leading to a [[Piece of Heart]], as well as a random [[Kinstone|Blue Kinstone]] that opens up a tree in [[North Hyrule Field]] leading to a [[Fairy Fountain]]. Epona is one of the many characters that Link can make these Kinstone fusions with.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Epona is [[Link]]'s horse from the get-go, which he uses on the [[Ordon Ranch|ranch]] that he works on to help him herd goats. She was to take Link to [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]] not far into the adventure, which leads to the main storyline of the game.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', Epona can be summoned through the use of an [[amiibo]]. After making it off the [[Great Plateau]], and preferably while [[Link]] is close to a [[Stable]], two amiibo can be used to summon Epona:
