Now alot of people have been talking about Link being able to control animals or perhaps become them, I belive this is because they see an eagle fly to Link, but this is not true, i've looked at some direct feed footage, and the eagle is not taken controlled by Link. In the footage you see Link, doing various tasks for people. Also the programers are being talked to at the same time.
After some tasks, a man asks Link if he could get a beehive out of the tree, aparently there are ruppes in there. He then goes to some bushes, picks up a leaf, and then blows into it, then making noise. Then a eagle or hawk, flys to him, he then directs the bird to the beehive. The eagle or hawk then flys to the beehive and knocks it down. Thus proving it has nothing to do with Link taking control of it, merely summoning it.
On another note, for those of you who want to know if the horse's name is going to be "Epona," yes and no. Meaning you get to name your horse whatever you feel like. Sorry about all the words, I am just getting in detail. If you have questions, simply post them.
