The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Racers

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Racers is a racing game developed by Zodiac Games, and is a spinoff of the Legend of Zelda series. It features horseback races with similar riding mechanics to Ocarina of Time, as well as elements of the Mario Kart franchise. It also draws characters and tracks from all throughout the Zelda timeline.
==Gameplay==
The horseriding gameplay plays very similar to Ocarina of Time's horseriding. You have a meter with five carrots, which you can use up to speed up your horse, but use them up too quickly and you'll run out and your horse will get tired. Drawing from the Mario Kart series, there are also item chests littered around the track. Riding into one of these will give you an item to use against your opponents.
===Controls===
(Using a WiiMote on it's side)
D-Pad - Steer horse
2 - Jump
1 - Use item
B - Look behind you
Shake WiiMote - Speed up horse
==Racers==
The characters you can play as are drawn from all throughout the Zelda series, but all race on horseback. The individual horses you can chose have their own stats, but each character also has a weight category. Heavier characters are a little slower, but can't be knocked off the track as easily, and lighter characters are faster, but can be knocked around pretty easily. The weight categories are split into four groups; Feather, Light, Medium, and Heavy.

Link 	Medium
Zelda 	Light
Ganondorf	Heavy
Impa 	Medium
Malon 	Feather
Sheik 	Light

Bunny Hood 	Gives you a speed boost for an amount of time.
Fire Rod 	Sprays fire either in front or behind you. It is a constant spray while using it, instead of a quick burst.
