==Wake Up Talon==
After [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] first visits [[Castle Town|Hyrule Castle Town]] [[Market]], he can acquire the [[Weird Egg]] from [[Malon]] on the road to [[Hyrule Castle]]. Once the egg hatches into a [[chicken]], he can use it to wake [[Talon]], allowing him access to a small hole in the castle wall, opening a path to the [[Castle Courtyard]] where he can meet [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|Princess Zelda]].

{{main|Horse Race}}
Ingo will cheat and start the race a second early. Despite this initial advantage, Ingo is not a great racer as he tends to take the corners pretty wide, giving a chance to slip ahead. Use A to speed up, but don't use all of your carrots until the very end of the race. There are two strategies to beat Ingo during this first race.

After you defeat Ingo, he'll challenge you to a second race, this time offering you a chance to keep the horse if you win. This time he's a little more vicious and will try to cut you off as soon as you get close. Just wait until you see a good chance and run by him. I recommend trying to take a lead early and keep your pace in front of him.

After beating Ingo at both races, he'll lock you in the ranch so you can't leave. You can get out very easily though, simply get a running start and jump either the fence, or any of the shorter walls on any side. You'll then witness a short triumphant clip of Epona jumping out of Lon Lon Ranch.

When you enter Lon Lon Ranch afterwards, Ingo will once again be a timid ranch worker and Malon will recognize you. She will now run a mini-game where you can race around the track with Epona, hopping over some fences. You have to complete two laps around in less than 50 seconds. It's actually a little challenging and might take a few tries. If you successfully complete it in time, you will win a [[Link's Cow|Cow]]! Yes, an actual Cow.{{Ref|OOT|1137|Malon}} It will now appear at your old house in Kokiri Forest. How exactly it was carried up there is another question...
