Horses can only be found in [[Lon Lon Ranch]], either in the stable or out on the main field. As Child Link, they can be seen running around on the track. It is only possible to ride horses as an adult however. There are only two horses which can be ridden in ''Ocarina of Time'', [[Epona]], and one of the ranch horses during Ingo's Horse Riding Minigame. [[Ganondorf]] has possession of a horse also, as can be seen in the opening sequence of the game and after Link has collected the three [[Spiritual Stones]].

Only a few horses are present in ''Twilight Princess'', Epona being one, along with [[Telma]]'s horse, which can be seen during the escort mission to [[Kakariko Village]]. Epona can be ridden right from the get-go in this game, first getting action by herding goats for [[Fado]] during the opening portion of the game, and later on for a [[Piece of Heart]]. Twilight Princess is one of the only games in the series where Ganondorf seems to own a horse, being present during the horseback battle at the end of the game.  

Epona returns once more in ''The Minish Cap'', but this time she cannot be ridden by Link. She can be seen in [[Hyrule Town]] with [[Malon]], after the door to the ranch house has been unlocked, carrying milk which is purchasable by Link.  

To keep a horse, Link must register the horse at a [[Stable]]. Only five (5) horses may be registered at time; to register a new horse once the limit has been reached, one must be let go. After a horse has been registered, it can be named and is equipped with a saddle and bridle. A registered horse's location is marked on the world map and it can be whistled for as long as it is within hearing distance.

[[Epona]] cannot be found within Breath of the Wild, but may be obtained when the player scans certain amiibo. The Super Smash Bros. Link and the Twilight Princess Link amiibo will drop Epona on the first scan only. Other amiibo, such as the Super Smash Bros. Zelda amiibo, may drop Epona at random. She can only be received once per amiibo and must be registered at a stable in order for Link to keep her. However, Epona can be received multiple times from different amiibo, and each Epona received may be registered making it possible to have more than one Epona in ''Breath of the Wild''. Epona has her own saddle and bridle which cannot be changed, and her bond with Link is already maxed out.
