Epona

Epona is Link's horse, and is used mainly by him for faster travel across the overworld. Epona is named after a Celtic goddess of horses. In Ocarina of Time, Epona was born and raised at the Lon Lon Ranch and was personally handled by Malon herself. According to Malon, Epona is shy toward everyone else, but after Malon teaches "Epona's Song", which is used to summon Epona, Link can befriend her. After the ranch is taken over from Talon and Malon by the farmhand Ingo, Link saves Epona from being given to Ganondorf by winning her in a race, and is from then on in possession of her. In Majora's Mask, the Skull Kid steals her, and Epona ends up at the Romani Ranch in Termina, where Link reclaims her after relearning "Epona's Song".

Epona makes a cameo appearance in The Minish Cap, where she is only seen pulling a cart of Lon Lon Milk for Malon. In Twilight Princess, the player is able to name Link's horse, with "Epona" as its default name. As a wolf, Link is able to talk to her. Epona plays a larger role in this game, as she is used by Link in multiple horseback battles, including the final battle with Ganondorf.
