'''Epona's Song''' is a melody played by Link in certain games to call Link's horse, who is usually named Epona automatically.  A vocal version of this called called "Epona no Uta" is sung by Emiko Shiratori.


'''Epona's Song''' is learned from [[Malon]], [[Epona]]'s owner, in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]. When played for the first time, [[Link]] tames Epona. Playing it as an adult allows him to call Epona to ride after she was won from [[Ingo]]. Whenever this song is played, [[Epona]] travels to wherever Link is, except for dungeons and rooms of course. Use on [[Hyrule Field]] or at the [[Gerudo Fortress]] (including the Archery area).  Other uses:  Frog game and free milk from cows (with an empty bottle).

This song is also used on [[Termina Field]] in [[Majora's Mask]] after [[Link]] finds [[Epona]] at [[Romani Ranch]].
 
Even more recently it appears in [[Twilight Princess]] but not as one would expect. Rather than playing a musical instrument [[Link]] must blow into a piece of [[Horseshoe grass]] to perform the song.

[[Image:Eponassong.gif|frame|Ocarina notes in [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|OoT]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|MM]]]] In ''Ocarina of Time'', Epona's Song can learned from [[Malon]], [[Epona]]'s owner, in [[Lon Lon Ranch]] when Link is a child. Initially, Link can play this on his [[Ocarina]] to tame Epona and beck her to come. After the horse is won from [[Ingo]] at LonLon Ranch, playing the song as an adult allows Link to call Epona and ride her. Whenever this song is played, [[Epona]] travels to wherever Link is in [[Hyrule Field]], [[Lake Hylia]], [[Gerudo Fortress]], and some other outdoor areas.   
'''Games Featuring This Song'''<br>
 
Ocarina of Time<br>
If Link has an empty bottle, Epona's Song can also be played around cows to earn [[Milk|milk]].
Majora's Mask<br>
 
Twilight Princess<br>
Malon can be heard singing this song at night at LonLon Ranch or Hyrule Castle, depending on how far the game has progressed.


A vocal version called "Epona no Uta" is sung by Emiko Shiratori.
==[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]==
This song can also be played on Link's Ocarina to call Epona in ''Majora's Mask'', but only after Link first finds her in a stall at [[Romani's Ranch]].  Once again, it is only effective in areas Epona can reach, such as [[Termina Field]] or certain portions of [[Great Bay Coast]].

[[Image:Horsecall.jpg|thumb|right|[[Horse Call]]]] Although the song appears again in ''Twilight Princess'', it may not be as one would expect. Even though it still calls Link's horse, rather than playing a musical instrument, Link must blow into a piece of [[Horseshoe grass|Horseshow Grass]] to perform the song initially. Later on, the portable [[Horse Call]] allows this song to be played anywhere, instead of just where certain patches of grass can be found.
 
While in [[Wolf Link|Wolf Form]], Link can howl the song to summon Epona whenever he's near a patch of Horseshoe Grass.  It's pointless to do so however, as he can only ride while in human form.  Strangely, his horse his one of the few animals in the game Link cannot speak to as a wolf.
