'''Epona''' is a brown, female [[horse]] who serves as [[Link]]'s steed in some of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games. She first appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. In the 3D ''The Legend of Zelda'' games, riding Epona allows Link to move around the [[overworld]] quicker. In the main ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, Link can summon Epona by playing [[Epona's Song]].

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda'' series===
====''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''====
[[File:Link and Epona in Hyrule Field OoT.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Link and Epona move around Hyrule Field during the night in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'']]
In ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', Epona has an optional role, as obtaining her is not required. Link can only ride Epona as an adult. Riding her allows Link to travel faster around the [[overworld]], especially on Hyrule Field. Epona is required for the [[Horseback Archery Range]], and she is an alternative for crossing the broken bridge in [[Gerudo Valley]]. Epona cannot enter towns or dungeons, and if Link plays Epona's Song outside those locations, he can summon Epona. As Link rides Epona, her stamina is represented by six [[carrot]]s. Link can whip Epona for a temporary speed boost, although this uses up a carrot of her stamnia. After a few seconds, Epona's stamina replenishes. The [[Fairy Bow]] is the only weapon Link can use while riding Epona.
Link first encounters Epona at [[Lon Lon Ranch]] as a child. As a foal, Epona is under the care of [[Malon]]. Epona starts out being scared of Link, running away whenever he is near her. When Link learns Epona's Song from Malon, Epona is no longer afraid of Link and starts to like him.
Epona has a larger in-game role when Link is an adult. During this time, Epona has grown up entirely. [[Ingo]] took control over Lon Lon Ranch and has plans to show Epona to [[Ganondorf]], believing her to be an untamable horse. Each time Link wants to enter the corral, he must pay 10 [[Rupee]]s to Ingo, who only allows him to enter for one minute.
Just as during Link's childhood, Epona is again afraid of Link and runs away when he approaches her. He can tame Epona again by playing Epona's Song. When Epona is tame, Link can climb onto her and ride, but he has just under one minute to practice riding. By riding around a bit with Epona and jumping over some small fences, Link can return to Ingo with Epona. By talking to Ingo, he challenges Link to a horse race.
After winning the first race, Ingo feels embarrassed and insists on doing another race, allowing Link to keep Epona if he wins. After winng the second race, Ingo allows Link to keep Epona but locks the gate to prevent him from leaving. Link and Epona can leave the ranch by having Epona jump over the surrounding walls. By doing so, they land out into [[Hyrule Field]].
If Link re-enters Lon Lon Ranch, Malon hosts an obstacle course where Link rides Epona. If he completes it faster than Malon's best time, she rewards him with a [[Cow]], which she takes to [[Link's House]].
