Call and ride Epona in every overworld area, town and dungeon of Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2.
In the original game you can only call Epona in Hyrule Field (including Lake Hylia and Lon Lon Ranch), Kakariko Village, Gerudo Valley and Gerudo's Fortress. This mod turns riding on in the other 48 areas.

Which folder to use
- Epona Everywhere: if you don't use other mods that include a ResourceSizeTable
- Epona Everywhere (Freecam compatible): if you also use OOT Standalone Freecam v0.1.9
Install
- In your emulator, right-click the game and choose Open Mod Data Location.
- Copy the folder you picked into it (so the path is load/0400486024DEC000/Epona Everywhere/romfs/...).
- Tick it in the game's Add-Ons list and start the game.
Requirements
- Game update v131072
- An emulator with LayeredFS mod support (tested on Eden/Lichii)
- Adult Link with Epona's Song (calling Epona is adult-only, as in the original)
Known issues
- Epona still needs room to reach you, so in tight rooms the game may say she can't come.
- Dungeons and some towns were never designed for a horse, so she can get stuck on walls or doorways.
- The Hall of Fallen Foes arenas are unchanged.
How it works
Each edited area file differs from the original only by its ride setting, rebuilt with roead so it keeps Nintendo's exact file layout. The resource size table entries were raised to match.Credits

- Freecam-compatible variant built on the size table from OOT Standalone Freecam v0.1.9
