"Link's beloved steed and most faithful companion. When the gauge is full, charge ahead with a Strong Attack. You can also charge by holding / at the end of a Combo Attack."
The Horse is a weapon class used by Link in Hyrule Warriors. It was added to the game as part of the Master Quest Pack. While wielding the weapon, Link fights with his Hylian Sword, but this time he rides upon his loyal steed, Epona.
Epona is very versatile. She may be a bit awkward to fight bosses with, but it is not too bad. Upon Epona's back, Link can pull her places with the Hookshot, shoot his Bow and Arrows, throw his Boomerang, and use Bombs. The attack chains allow Link and Epona to fight in tandem. For example, one of the combo chains is for Epona to kick enemies up into the air while Link shoots them three times with his Bow and Arrows. For the victory pose, Link plays the Ocarina of Time to call his precious steed. They then ride off into the distance.

Moveset
Epona has a meter containing five Carrots; Link can press / after any of his Combo Attacks to expend a Carrot and perform a brief, forward charge. This is useful for cancelling attacks and positioning Link out of danger,
Attack | Explanation |
---|---|
Base String? | Link and Epona perform a series of five attacks; Epona dashes forward while swinging her head, Link performs a diagonal left slash, then a diagonal right slash, Epona performs a leaping dash, and Link performs a horizontal slash that fires a Sword Beam ahead. |
C1? | Link expends a Carrot to perform a quick charge forward. If Epona is running at full speed, Link will instead perform a diagonal sword slash. |
C2? | Epona turns around and performs a double kick behind her; this can be extended, causing Link to fire a volley of Arrows from the Bow, before performing an enormous horizontal Spin Attack. |
