She could be obtained by first talking to [[Malon]] as a child to learn [[Epona's Song]], and then returning later as an adult. After paying [[Ingo]] to take a ride on a horse, Epona's Song could be played to ride Epona around the enclosed area. If the player speaks to Ingo while mounted on Epona, he will challenge Link to a race. Beating him twice will allow the player to keep Epona, and although Ingo tries to keep Link from leaving the ranch, he can simply jump a fence to get out. | |||
