What amiibo is for Epona?

The Epona amiibo is specifically associated with the Super Smash Bros. Link amiibo or the Twilight Princess Link amiibo, which can be used to summon Epona in games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. By scanning either of these amiibo figures, players can potentially unlock Epona as a mount, although the process involves a degree of randomness, especially in terms of the rewards generated by the amiibo scan.
