Getting Epona

Go back to Lon Lon Ranch for a Race

First, you need Epona’s Song

If you haven’t already learned Epona’s Song, go to the Temple of Time (AFTER defeating the Forest Temple) and talk to Sheik. You will learn the Prelude of Light (Teleports you back to the Temple of Time). Put your Master Sword in its holder to become Young Link again.

Pull out your Ocarina after Malon mentions her mother, she will teach you Epona’s Song
When you are young, go to Lon Lon Ranch in the daytime. Go to the center of the fenced-off area and talk to Malon until she mentions her mother. Take out your ocarina and learn Epona’s Song. Now you can go back to being an Adult.

Head to Lon Lon Ranch as an Adult

Go to Lon Lon ranch in the daytime. Pay the ten rupees to ride the horse. While you are in there, play Epona’s Song. Epona should come close to you. You can ride Epona over the fences to get 5 rupees per fence.

The first time you pay 10 rupees and then talk to Ingo he won’t want to race
Now you have to do this all over again (pay ten rupees to ride the horse again). He will challenge you to a race. Bet the rupees.
After paying him 10 more rupees and riding Epona again, he will challenge you to a race

Beat Ingo in the Race

To beat him, when he is on the outside edge of the track, cut him off by accelerating. Try to block his path.
I beat him by accelerating immediately and cutting him off on this first turn
He will challenge you again, beat him again.
You can actually block Ingo from passing you if you’re fast enough
After he gives Epona to you, he won’t let you leave the ranch. Just jump over the fence around Lon Lon Ranch to get free.
Jump over the outer fence to escape Lon Lon Ranch

Now you must head to the Fire Temple.
