Horseback Archery Range
- This article is about the location in Ocarina of Time. For the recurring Mini-Game, see Horseback Archery.
The Horseback Archery Range, also known as the Horseback Archery Field,[1] is a location in Ocarina of Time.[2]
Location and Rules
The Horseback Archery Range is located in the rear of the Gerudo's Fortress, with a dirt path leading to it from behind the Thieves' Hideout. It can only be accessed after Link has obtained the Gerudo Token. The range is an oblong area with a large target board at each end, and three target boards along the cliffside wall, with a series of Pots sitting atop wooden boxes in front of them. At nighttime, a Gold Skulltula can be found on the backside of one of the target boards.
Near the center of the range is a small canopy where a Gerudo runs the Horseback Archery Minigame. Beside her is a Sign displaying Link's highest score.[2] To play the Minigame, Link must have retrieved Epona from Lon Lon Ranch, and then speak to the Gerudo in charge while on horseback. Each play costs 20 Rupees.
The objective of the Minigame is to shoot as many targets as possible with only 20 Arrows while Epona automatically gallops up and down the range. If Link hits a target, he will receive 100 points for a bulls-eye, or 60 or 30 points for a less-accurate hit. Hitting a Pot will also earn him 100 points. The same targets can be hit multiple times. The Minigame ends when Link runs out of Arrows, or when Epona reaches the second end target. By scoring 1,000 or more points, Link will receive a Piece of Heart.[3] If the hero tries again and scores 1,500 points or more, he will be awarded with a Quiver upgrade.[4]

Let's see how many points you can score. You get 20 arrows. If you can score 1,000 points, I will give you something good!
