What they say
There are some people in Kakariko spreading rumors that I cheated Talon out of the ranch, but...
Don't be ridiculous!
That guy Talon was weak! I, the hard-working Ingo, poured so much energy into this place!
I don't want any strangers like you saying anything bad about me!
Listen. The great Ganondorf recognized my obvious talents and gave the ranch to me!
I will raise a fine horse and win recognition from the great Ganondorf!
Say, young man, do you want to ride one of my fine horses?
Pay me 10 Rupees and you can ride.
Ride
Don't ride
All right then, scram ya little punk!
Do you want to hear how to ride?
Listen
Don't listen
Approach the horse quietly and stand by its side. Press A to mount up.
Use the Control Stick to make it run. Once it starts running, press A to tap it with the whip. It will speed up!
When you want to jump over a fence, accelerate and hit it head on!
If you try to jump over a fence at an angle, the horse won't like it, and it won't jump.
After the horse comes to a complete stop, press A to dismount. Now, have fun!
If you use Z Targeting, you can talk to me from horseback.
Are you ready to go home so soon?
No, I want to ride.
Yes, I'm done.
When you want to dismount, stop and press A.
Hey young man! Do I know you? I just felt as though I've seen you somewhere before...
You're getting better! How about a little race with me? One lap around the corral with that horse.
Let's make a little wager, say 50 Rupees?
Do it
Don't do it
Hey hey... What's the matter? Don't you have even 50 Rupees?! I don't want to race with someone so poor!
Sh-shoooot!
If the great Ganondorf found out about this humiliation... Hey, you!! How about another race! If you win...
You can keep...the horse!!
What's up with that horse?! Is that Epona?
How did you tame that wild horse right under my nose?!
I was going to present that horse to the great Ganondorf... But I bet it on the race and lost! Shooot!
Hah ha hah!
As I promised, I'll give the horse to you...
However...
I'll never let you leave this ranch!
Hee hee hee... Too bad for you! I get your 50 Rupees.
Wah ha hah! You're just a kid, after all! Well, come back any time and we'll have some more fun...
What? What are you doing hanging around here? You little weirdo!
I am Ingo and I mind the ranch.
I've been working at this ranch for a long time for that lazy bum, Talon.
Today, for example, he's gone somewhere for a delivery and he hasn't come back yet!
So, I'm doing all the work around here.
Oh well...It's tough to be a working man.
I can't believe that I, the great Ingo, am working on this dump of a ranch!
Because the owner is so lazy, I always have to do all the work around here!
I, the hard-working Ingo, should be in charge, not that lazy bum, Talon!
Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z... S-stop that song...I...I... Mumble... mumble...
Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z... Mumble... It's not easy to be a working man...
Heh heh... Are you mad because you lost? If you're that upset, how about another race?
Bet 50 Rupees and race again?
Race
Don't race
Thank you so much. Heh heh!
Hi there, how are you? I am Ingo. I feel so honored to be allowed to work here.
