Not long after entering the strange and foreign land of Termina, Link and his faithful steed, Epona, are tragically separated. You’re led to believe she’s gone for good and that you’ll just have to somehow learn to get along without her. Fortunately, Epona survived her encounter with the mischievous Skull kid, and she’s just waiting out there somewhere in Termina to be rescued. All you have to do is find her first, and we’re here to help—here’show to unlock Epona.
Where to find Epona
To bring your equine companion home, first, ensure you have access to both theHero’s BowandPowder Kegitems. These can be obtained from the Woodfall Temple’s mini-boss and Goron Village’s Big Goron. Once you’ve added both tools to your roster, head over toMilk Roadon theFirst Day. Make your way to the large boulder blocking the path, then use a Powder Keg to destroy it and clear the road toRomani Ranch.

Offer to help her, and she’ll allow you to temporarily ride Epona as part of a mini-game, one in which you’ll need to use theHero’s Bowtopop six balloons in under two minutes. Upon completing her challenging training regimen, Romani will allow Link to keep Epona and teaches himEpona’s Song, allowing you to call your steed to your side while traversing the fields of Termina.
