Epona's Song was composed by Koji Kondo for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, released on Nintendo 64 in 1998. In the game Link learns the tune from Malon at Lon Lon Ranch and plays it on the ocarina to call Epona from across Hyrule Field. The melody returned in later Zelda games and became one of the series most quoted musical cues. Online, players reuse the short ocarina recording for edits, streams and memes whenever a character, pet or vehicle is summoned and expected to arrive loyally on cue.
