Links horse Epona in Ocarina of Time is more than likely named after the Celtic Goddess of the same name. The goddess Epona was a protector of horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules. She was particularly a goddess of fertility, as shown by her attributes of a patera, cornucopia, ears of grain, and the presence of foals in some sculptures. #mythology#folklore#videogames#legendofzelda#ocarinaoftime
