Where to get Epona in Ocarina of Time
Epona is your horse in Ocarina of Time, but they're only available after you get a bit older. Here's where you can find Epona, and how to unlock her.
To acquire Epona in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, first visit Lon Lon Ranch near Malon after waking up Talon outside of Hyrule Castle. Epona is shy around strangers, so approach her with caution. Next, learn Epona's Song (X - Y - A - X - Y - A) by playing it on your ocarina. Once you've mastered the song, Epona will approach you.
However, since she's a small horse and Link is a child, you cannot ride her immediately. After obtaining all Spiritual Stones and being able to travel through time, return to the ranch during the daytime. Ingo, who has taken over Lon Lon Ranch, will charge you 20 rupees for riding a horse. Pay the fee and play Epona's Song to make her come to you.
Enter the race against Ingo and impede his progress by pressing A a few times after the race begins while staying on the inside track. Repeat this strategy for subsequent races. Despite being challenged by a faster Ingo, you'll eventually win and lock him into the ranch. To exit, circumvent the gate and Epona will be yours to ride.
Now, you can summon Epona anytime using Epona's Song, but keep in mind that you can only ride her within Hyrule Field and a limited area in Gerudo Fortress.
