Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Nintendo 64 - 1998

Epona Secrets:

Get Link to be riding Epona with Link 10 feet above her.

First do the Swordless Link Trick. Next call Epona and get on her.
Third press the C-button corresponding to the Ocarina. After you press the Ocarina button you should fall under Epona and be in the center of her. Play Saria's Song. Say no to both questions (to make it go faster but it doesn't matter) and Link will be way above her. It's pretty cool.

Epona remote control

Here's another glitch. Do all of the above. Then stop Epona from running and walking. Climb down and start to run around around Hyrule. You'll notice that Epona will be running too. The game still thinks you're on Epona so you're still controlling her even when you're not on her! Control her carrots to go faster.

Surprise!

First,become 18 and call Epona.Ride to Lon Lon Ranch and put Epona in the with the other horses.Call her again outside of the horse field. She should hit the gate. If she doesn't, try again until she does. When she does, go inside a house in the ranch. Come back out to where Epona was. I'll let it surpise you.

Stuck Epona in a fence

Dood this was a wierd glitch. The only thing you need is Epona and a fence behind Lon Lon Ranch. Ok this is the story. I was chasing a poe and go it 3 times then a fence was aproaching and I was at a almost straight angle at it Epona jump and the fence and I was stuck. I tried to get down but couldn't.
It took awhile for me to back up and get off. Believe this is a hard glitch I've tried it like 100 times already and I couldn't do it. I had version 1.0 Gold.

Here's the code

Ok go behind Lon Lon Ranch and when you see a fence kick it into full blast at a almost straight angle. If Epona jumps you did it right. It happens about 1% of the time.LoL. It's a hard glitch to do, but pretty awsome. You can try and get off to the left or right and then she will tilt and not get off. You have to back up to get off. This is a Awsome glitch to try, but also
frustrating.

Epona stucked in time:

Here are a couple fun things to do with Epona after doing the Swordless Link trick. Have fun!

1) Equip the Ocarina as a C button, and go to Hyrule Field. Run towards a fence as if you are going to jump over it. When you reach it, and Epona is in the air, press the Ocarina's C button. Link should drop through Epona, Epona should float, holding still, above him!!

2) You can also do this with the Lon Lon Ranch fences. Before you jump over the grey fences in Lon Lon Ranch, use a Deku Nut, and Epona will jump over, but Link will stay in Lon Lon. Epona will then stand, floating, in the empty sky. To get back on Epona, just press A, and the cut-scene for jumping over will play, putting you in Hyrule Field again.

(The Epona Stuck in Time Trick looks cooler if you play the Song of Storms first, so it is raining.)

Mutant Epona:

This glitch is totally useless, but it's good for a couple laughs. First, be an adult and get Epona. Now go to Lon Lon Ranch. Have you noticed that
Talon, Malon, and Ingo change positions depending on the time?
 
Talon- Day: Stable, Night: Outside the corral
Malon- Day: Outside the corral, Night: In the corral
Ingo- Day: Entrance to the field, Night: Bed
 
Since Epona can't go into the stable or the house, that leaves only four locations. If you're sharp, you'll have figured this out already. If not, read on...
 
1. Be at Lon Lon Ranch during the day on Epona. Find Malon and position yourself so that Epona's nose, Epona's rear, and Malon form a straight line. Now get as close to Malon as you can without the Speak icon appearing. Keeping said prerequisites fulfilled (translation: make sure Epona and Malon still form a straight line), dismount Epona. (Step 1 isn't necessary if you know exactly where Malon is; however, it makes things much easier.)
 
2. Play the Song of the Sun.
 
3. Run to Epona and mount her. Now ride the rest of the way so that Epona is exactly where Malon was before. Dismount and play the Sun's Song again.
 
4. Run to where Epona is and- what the heck? Epona and Malon are trying to occupy the same spot, and the resulting effect is really weird. See for yourself.
 
5. Also try this on Ingo during the day, Talon at night, and Malon at night. It takes a little practice.
 
6. This also works on one other person, but I'm not just gonna GIVE it to ya. Find her (hint, hint) or break my personal code (tee hee hee.)
