BURY EPONA ALIVE!

It still amazes me the amount of glitches that this game still manages to propagate. The only reasoning I can see behind their discovery is that the game is so vast and complicated that the programmers couldn't account for "all possible scenarios" a gamer could encounter during gameplay. I know Nintendo tests these things before they're intoduced to the market, but no amount of game testers can truly accomplish what the general public (millions of gamers) can find. Perhaps if more laborious time was taken on the game then these glitches wouldn't be here, but then again how would we feel if Zelda 64 wasn't coming out until this year. Would we have waited that long? It raises some questions. Would we have waited for better graphics, no bugs, more Hyrule, and a possible alternate "Triforce" quest? Perhaps. Would Nintendo wait considering they could lose a drastic market share of Christmas shopping dollars to Sony, the answer is self evident. Glitches or no glitches I still think Zelda 64 is the best game to come out of Nintendo, and if they made more quality games like it they wouldn't be just a caterer to the kiddie market. Well, I'll let Vampire Arthur supply another interesting glitch to try in your game. Take it away Art...

You have to be adult Link, enter Lon Lon Ranch *without* Epona, now walk to the wide area past the house and the stable, play Epona's song, the horse will come out of nowhere inside the fenced area and start running toward the fence, she wont get to you cause she'll keep running through the fence, when she stops running, enter any of the 3 rooms in the ranch; the house, the stable or the small room with the cows, get out again, go inside the fenced area and you'll find Epona stuck UNDER the floor!! She can't walk or get out of there, even if you play Epona's song. And she'll stay there even if you get out of the ranch and get back in... heck it even stays there if you save and turn the N64 off!! You can get Epona back easily by playing Epona's song in Hyrule Field... you can do this trick at any time of the day... I've done it like five times and it worked every time, just make sure that you go into the ranch without the horse.. if it didn't work the first time and you want to try again, get out of the ranch to Hyrule Field, play Epona's song, don't ride on it, just enter the ranch on foot and try again, it could be done in some other ways, but it's better if you follow my steps above the first time, then you can try your creative skills :) .... it looks cool once you do it... good luck! I attached some screen shots showing Epona under the ground.

Thanks for the glitch Art. Find any more good ones let me know.
