Twilight Princess
Epona Slide
If the player presses A to dismount 1 frame after letting go of R, Link will dismount Epona while still moving and slide on the ground for a moment before gaining control again. This can be used to cross voids, as Epona won't fall during the dismount animation, or can be combined with a Brakeslide to achieve high movement speeds.
How To
- Hold R while on Epona to make Link crouch
- Let go of R and, 1 frame later, press A to dismount Epona
- Epona should keep moving forward while Link dismounts and slides on the ground for a short time
Uses
Gorge Slide
If an Epona Slide begins while Epona is on land, Epona won't fall while Link dismounts, even if she passes over a void during the dismount. Holding forward on the control stick out of the Epona Slide will make Link hop forward and reach the far side of the Gorge.
