I am personally going to stick with Epona as my horses name in TP. I have pretty much always stuck with the "original" names for my characters in all of the previous Zelda games, so I figure why should I go and break the tradition?

mostly so that people can't just make 6 or 7 usernames and still get complete features with them. Also there are thousands of GS users and if everyone could use all the features it would make GS pretty slow because of server space, dozens of users use Gamespot for the first week and never log on after that, if you're a dedicated GS member eventually you'll be fine :)

I am guessing that this certain rule is set in place simply because they don't want all of these "newer" users going around and having the same priveleges as those who have been around Gamespot for a while and pretty much know the basic rules by now. But once you finally reach a certain level they probably figure that you have been around long enough to know what you should and should not do, although sadly this isn't the case sometimes... But anyways, now it's time to get back on-topic. Like I said before... I plan to stay with the name Epona for my horse. :D

I'd think that most people would either call there horse "Epona" (the traditional name) or whatever there own name is ... just so that they play a role in the game :P. Phoenix would be a pretty cool name for the horse though, if i didn't do Epona (although i almost certainly will) maybe i'd do that.

Well, I'm not too fond of naming my character after the fetal stage of an unborn baby (which is what the word fetus refers to). But then again, that's just me. :P

It is level 5.

Personally, I'm going to name my horse Brick.

Yes... because when I think of something that gallops gracefully over the vast terrain of Hyrule, I think of a brick. :P But seriously, I was just joking around and I'm sure that you have your own reasons as to why you are going to name it Brick. I actually like how you decided to just go with something so "uncommon" such as that. If you don't mind, can you explain as to why you chose that name?

If you give me the 4 names you'd like to use in the poll, I can start it on this thread for you.

As with most of you, I keep it basic on my first run through.  So I name the character Link, and anything else by their original names, so I'd keep it with Epona.

Swift, or Lighting seem a bit more appropriate ... i could understand maybe "Stone Cold" or something but Brick? :P

Back in the day, when I first became a member of Game Spot, I spent a lot of time at the the Twilight Princess which had all sorts of crazy topics. One of these, was a topic that asked for unusual names for the horse that the poster may use. At that time, I believe I was in a drowsy state listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall, and Brick came to mind as a possible name.

Now, when I saw this thread, I was reminded of that December day as well as that thread long gone, so I decided to stick with my choice of Brick. Really, I have grown rather fond of unique names lately.

Plus, Epona was the horse of Link, the Hero of Time, while this is a completely different Link who should accordingly have a different steed. I should also add that I don't like the name Epona at all and I am happy that we get to choose the name of the horse this time. As Link charges into battle upon his trusty steed, it will be as if he was a giant brick hurling towards a hoard of fragile minions.

So there's a story behind it, that makes more sense ... and as you said it is indeed a different Link but if so why are you still naming him Link? Same theory goes with Epona for me. I'll keep both of them with the standard names :)

I don't mind the name Link and he has appeared in a lot more Zelda games then the horse. Now if it was the opposite, well that would be quite odd.

There has ALWAYS been a link, but there has only been Epona one or twice. Link is important, Epona not so much name wise.

true ... I stand corrected. As for naming the horse though i'm still sticking with Epona. I'm hoping you can name more than just the horse in the game though, maybe you can name some of the villagers from Link's town? I think adding more variety to the game would make it a bit better.

Yup. I don't think Gold, Silver, Crstal, Ruby, Sapphire nor Emerald had any other horse like Pokemon. BTW excluding Sea Horses.

Well, as I have mentioned before, I am a little indecisive when it comes to some things (such as choosing what particular skill to level up in an RPG or, in this case, what to name a town and/or horse). It is that reason why, at times, I like certain things to just be set in a game while still offering a variety of other things for you to "customize" as your own. I know that I am somewhat contradicting myself here, but this is how I feel no matter how strange it may sound. :P

Same thing I name every other animal... Either Fifi (the universal animal name), by it's category so a horse would be named Horse, or some name/word that I liked from a previous zelda game such as Kokari or Gorgon. And possibly Epona in one of my files (assuming I play the game more then once), out of respect of course.

I don't think i could ever just name it "horse" too bland IMO :P ... Either Fifi reminded me of something like "Ether Fifi", that would be a good name. Epona will always stick out as the right name though.

Epoch, after Chrono Trigger's ship :P

Nah, I'll stil with Epona, although serious names I've considered are:

Stepper (Wheel of Time)
Mandarb (Wheel of Time)
Jeade'en (Wheel of Time)
Shadowfax (Lord of the Rings)
