− | In | + | In [[Ocarina of Time (game)|Ocarina of Time]]]] Epona was a wild, untameable horse at Lon Lon Ranch whom only Malon could ride. Epona also grew close to [[Link]] in their childhood years after Link learned how to play [[Epona's Song]]. Seven years later Link used Epona in a horse race with [[Ingo]], whom had taken over the ranch. Ingo had been planning to give the horse to [[Ganon|Ganondorf]], but Ingo lost the bet and was forced to let Link keep Epona. Link used Epona to shorten long travel across [[Hyrule Field]]. She came calling whenever Link played Epona's Song on his [[ocarina]]. |
− | + | At the beginning of [[Majora's Mask]], Link and Epona were shown as children again (due to the time-travelling at the end of the previous game), searching the [[Lost Woods]] for Link's missing friend. The [[Skull Kid (character)|Skull Kid]] kidnapped Epona and rode her to [[Termina]] until Epona ran away. She found refuse in [[Romani Ranch]] with [[Romani]] and [[Cremia]], the Terminian counterparts of her former owner Malon. Epona was later found by Link, and she continued to give him rides across Termina until they fulfilled their adventure there and continue journeying through the Lost Woods. | |
− | + | ==The Hero of Ordon's Horse== | |
− | + | In [[Twilight Princess]], Link owned Epona from the beginning, and they lived in [[Ordon Village]]. Link used Epona to herd animals for [[Fado]] at the Ordon Ranch. [[Illia]] was particuarly fond of Epona and became angry whenever Epona was injured after Link rode him. | |
− | + | Epona was scared off when Ordon was attacked by [[Bokoblins]], but she was reunited with Link at [[Kakariko Village]]. Link could summon Epona by humming Epona's Song through a special grass whistle- and later through a [[horse call]] made by Illia. Epona truly came in handy this time, as Link engaged in several horseback battles from Epona's back throughout the game. Additionally, Link could speak to Epona in wolf form. She was the only one to recognize that the wolf was Link, and urged him to find a way to restore himself to normal. | |
− | + | ==Other Games== | |
− | + | Epona also appears in [[The Minish Cap]], the only game so far in which Link does not ride her. In this game Malon uses Epona to carry her load of milk to [[Hyrule Castle Town]]. When he's Minish size, Link can even talk to Epona and fuse [[Kinstones]] with her. | |
