I am! In the first file, I named Link "Link" and Epona "Epona", the second file is  "Ganon" and "Vaati" and the third is "Hayley" and "Billy".  :)

LInk is Jackal, because thats my nickname(I felt I should have changed it on the forums because it was too close to Jack) and my horse is Torus, because that's the name of the horse in the story I'm writing...

then my mom made a file and she didn't know how to name, so she put in MA, and her name was LinkMA, then her horse is EponaHA...
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
Post by: Vaati on December 28, 2006, 01:12:12 PM
That almost sounds like pig Latin, except it's "a" instead of "ay". My dad made a file, but I erased it because I knew he was never going to play it again. He named Link "Cartman" and Epona "Homer". He's obsessed with South Park and the Simpsons. It was funny, when he was playing it, he said the controls were backwards (I have the GC version) I don't know what game he's been playing, but the controls are NOT backwards.

How could the controls be backwards? They only have inverted axes on flying games....

Title: Re:What did you name your pony?

Depending on what you name your pony, funny things will come up when she is talked about. Like if you name your horse Wii, Llia will say something along the lines of: "I washed your wii for you. Why dont you bring her over later?" (I meant Wii as in the system too)

Not a pony! A steed, a horse! It's Epona man!

Anyway, me and my friends named one Uwe Boll, after the nightmare of a lunatic who ruins games by making sucky movies outa them, and then we have Link and Epona.

on the Uwe Boll file Link was named Bjartulf. It's a norwegian home made combination, was hilarious for us who played it though.  ;D

Why change the names? Link is Link and Epona is Epona.. I'm never gonna name them anything else :)
Btw Epona was the horse god in greek mythology.. She wasn't a horse herself though. Maybe someone else wrote it earlier in this topic but i didn't read it all :P
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
Post by: DW on March 20, 2007, 06:57:50 AM
Somebody said Poseidon was the horse god before, but I could have sworn Poseidon was the God of the sea or some water related thing.
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?

He is. Zeus gave Hades the underworld, himself the heavens, and Poiseden the sea.
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
Post by: Commodore Axilon on March 20, 2007, 12:21:14 PM
I'm just gonna set the record straight here:

Epona was the Celtic goddess of horses.

Poseidon, and by extension Neptune, was the god of horses as well as the god of the sea. Greek and Roman gods often represented many different things.

And I named my horse "Babieca", and Link "El Cid." You see, I'd just read El Cid in Spanish class. ;D

Post by: Impa on March 21, 2007, 04:14:07 PM
Link is Link and I named the horse on one file Flower and on the other Honey.
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
Post by: Fishalicious on March 23, 2007, 02:00:27 PM
On my first file (first runthrough) - Link and Epona, 19 hearts.

Second file (my friend's file) - Sorata and Icaritu, 5 hearts.

Third file (completion file) - Error and Falsetto, 7 hearts.

I had another file with Epona and Link, names backward, and another friend of mine had a file named Rinkuru and Epona.

Edit: By the way, Epona isn't a pony. It's a common misconception, but a pony is a seperate subspecies of the domestic horse. Epona is a Clydesdale (which don't run very fast, which is weird, bad choice for Link's noble steed if you ask me.) and very much different. xD; But it does make sense for her to kill some enemies by ramming them, Clydesdales have very large and powerful hooves.
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
Post by: Bboy94 on March 23, 2007, 03:14:05 PM
It could be a Hylian breed of a clydesdale, because Epona is definatley fast.

True. She doesn't really look that fast, though, because when you dash, the screen goes all weird and Epona looks to one side and... I dunno. But it disorients me, personally. xD
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
Post by: Commodore Axilon on March 23, 2007, 05:21:09 PM
I don't think she's big enough to be a Clydesdale, going by Link's height in OoT. The diving pool in the house by Lake Hylia gives him a height of 1.6 meters, or 5 feet and 3 inches. Hylians are pretty short apparently. ;D

She's more likely based off the horses knights used to use, which Clydesdales are descended from btw.
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
Post by: Fishalicious on March 23, 2007, 05:26:12 PM
In Ocarina of Time, she was a warhorse. xD In TP, she got a lot bigger, and being a Clydesdale really kinda fits, in the beggining, we see her carrying a bunch of stuff, and Clydesdales were used as carthorses a lot in the middle ages. Well, they're still used as carthorses today, but moreso in the old days. o:

Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right. I was going to say something about how the anatomy of a horse that size would make running fast difficult, but... then I realized that if it is a seperate Hylian Clydesdale or something, then it's okay. xD After all, you wear a tunic and then you're able to walk on lava, and the tunic did nothing to your boots.

Post by: Bboy94 on March 23, 2007, 07:14:43 PM
You can walk on lava? When, I only remember walking on lava in Snowpeak as a Goron.

But, yeah, maybe Epona isn't that fast. But the question is, is a clydesdale faster than a were-wolf and bokoblins?
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
Post by: Fishalicious on March 23, 2007, 07:28:22 PM
Well I wouldn't know for a were-wolf, but a regular timber wolf can go at like.... 30-35 mph. (Yay google!) Clydesdales aren't real fast, maybe 20 mph, and bokoblins... Uh. ... xD If they're humanspeed, then 5 mph just chillin', 21 mph at top speed.

Oh, and your average racehorse can go 30-40. xD
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
Post by: Bboy94 on March 23, 2007, 07:36:57 PM
So, Epona must not be a clydesdale. Because Link is slower than her in wolf form.

Bokoblins are more like 10mph at top speed.
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
Post by: Fishalicious on March 23, 2007, 07:45:08 PM
True, true... I was referring more to body type than speed. Clydesdales are gigantic in muscle and size in general, Epona in previous games has always been sleeker and less burly-- like a racehorse or warhorse.
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?

Well, I finally got the game for the wii, actually, I've had it for quite awhile, just haven't got to playing it cause of basketball and the new baseball season starting up soon, but none the less, I have started a game on it, and I just left it as link and the horse as Eponda, I was to lazy to rename them... lol
Title: Re:What did you name your pony?
