Trivia[]
- In the beginning, Epona was meant to be released at the same time as the Harvest Counties. However, to plan the areas better, the team chose to release the two halves separately.
- After you unlock the area, the bulldozer in Old Hillcrest is gone, and you can use the secret path if you want to explore the area with your horse.
- Epona was later updated to a newer look along with the rest of Harvest Counties on the update of August 28, 2019.
- The name Epona comes from the Celtic Goddess Epona who is the goddess of Horses (and most other equids), and fertility. The name Epona literally translates in Gaulish as "Great Mare".
- This is also the name of the famous horse in The Legend of Zelda, who may have inspired the name choice as well.
