However, Epona will run away if you get too close. If you talk to Malon, she&#8217;ll tell you that Epona is a little shy around strangers, but she likes music. Take out your ocarina, and Malon will teach you Epona&#8217;s Song (<strong>X &#8211; Y &#8211; A &#8211; X &#8211; Y &#8211; A<\/strong>). Play it, and Epona will come running over.
