test of skill

Post by The_Indigo_Effect »

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but I'd like to issue a challenge of sorts for the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time fans. A few years ago I was playing the game as adult Link, and I was at Lon Lon Ranch trying to win Epona by going racing against the ranch owner. I'd like to mention that I've beaten the game many years before this, but I made a rather stupid mistake. I raced the ranch owner, whose name escapes me, with a different horse, and with a certain degree of effort I won the first race. However, the second race was much more difficult, and it was after many failed attempts that I discovered I was using the wrong horse. After winning the race with Epona, I recalled how close I came to winning with the wrong one, and I conceived that it is possible to win with a different horse. Now I'm assuming that there are a total of 2 races, but I can't totally remember. The key to defeating the ranch owner with the wrong horse is to position your horse just ahead of his, and he will actually push you towards the finish line. Obviously, I never managed to pull this off, and it was extremely difficult to keep my horse positioned in front of his. I always wondered what would have happened if I managed to achieve victory with the wrong horse. As I am writing this, I am wondering if anyone has attempted something similar to this on youtube, but I'd be curious to hear if any of you have ever pulled it off.
