Ganondorf, the iconic villain, makes a comeback in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. However, he is not the sole character returning from the franchise. In addition, players have the opportunity to ride on Epona, Link’s legendary horse.

Fans of The Legend of Zelda series have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Given that Link learned Epona’s Song many years ago in Ocarina of Time, it’s no surprise that fans are now wondering how to obtain Epona in the latest installment.

How To Get Epona In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Having a copy of Breath of the Wild for the Switch is one method to acquire Epona in Tears of the Kingdom.

Transfer Your BotW Horses To Get Epona To TotK

To incorporate Epona into the game of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, it is essential to acquire Link. Once obtained, Epona becomes readily available for riding across the vast lands of Hyrule.

The advantage is that you can bring your Epona to the new game. To do this, you must visit the New Serenne Stable and have a conversation with the owner. If you have a save file from the previous game on your Switch, the owner will acknowledge you as a loyal customer and allow you to “borrow” a horse. As a result, you can now locate Epona and any other horse you had in your previous playthrough of BotW. However, it’s worth noting that Epona won’t assist in pulling carts or carrying objects like other horses do.

Scan An Amiibo in TotK To Unlock Epona

You can also choose to utilize an Amiibo directly within Tears of the Kingdom to acquire Epona, but it does require a touch of luck.

• To acquire the Super Smash Bros. Link Amiibo or the Twilight Princess Link Amiibo, you must prioritize obtaining one of them. Here’s a helpful tip: You can utilize a single Amiibo figure on multiple Switch consoles. Thus, consider checking with your friends if they possess either of the two Amiibos and if they would be willing to lend it to you!
• After obtaining it, you will have the option to choose the Amiibo ability within Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
• Place the figure to your right and establish the connection for the Switch joystick using NFC.
• In a matter of seconds, a chest is expected to materialize directly before your eyes within the game.
• If luck is on our side, there’s a chance Epona will be included.

Please note that you can only use an Amiibo once per day on your Switch. However, in case you were unfortunate and did not receive Epona as part of your rewards, you can try out this helpful tip:

• Save your game
• Please, perform the same steps as mentioned previously.
• If you fail to obtain Epona, promptly reload your saved game data.
• Perform the same steps as previously mentioned.
• Continue doing it until Epona is inside the chest!

For those who are highly impatient or simply eager to unlock all the things their amiibo can offer, we have an additional trick for you.

• Utilize the amiibo within the game, as previously explained.
• After obtaining an item, remember to save and then close the game.
• Access the system settings on your Switch device.
• Change the date
• Return to the game and use your amiibo to acquire another item.
