Getting Epona Out of the Ranch

In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Epona is the loyal horse of Link that can be obtained from Malon at Lon Lon Ranch. However, to use Epona, you need to escape the ranch and explore the world. In this article, we will guide you on how to get Epona out of the ranch and start your adventure.

Step 5: Beat Ingo and Escape the Ranch

The first step to getting Epona out of the ranch is to beat Ingo in a horse race. You need to talk to Malon multiple times and then pull out your Fairy Ocarina to hear Epona’s Song. Once you’ve heard the song, you can now ride Epona. Go to the gate of the ranch and hold R while on Epona. Then, let go of R and press A to dismount Epona. Epona will then jump over the gate, allowing you to escape the ranch.

Alternative Method: Winning Without Epona’s Song

If you can’t win the race or don’t have Epona’s Song, you can win the race without using Epona’s Song. Wait in the back of the course for around 10 seconds, and Ingo will unload, giving you an automatic win. Note that this method is only possible during the daytime.

Step 1: Get to Lon Lon Ranch

Before you can get Epona, you need to get to Lon Lon Ranch. To get to the ranch, travel to Hyrule Field and head west. Lon Lon Ranch is located near the Hyrule Castle Town. You can find Malon in the middle of the corral, where you can talk to her to learn more about Epona.
