This save file presents a name much longer than expected to the Twilight Princess game, which causes the Wii system to crash when it tries to load the horse's name. The save file stores the name of Link's horse in the game, Epona. The hack exploits a buffer overflow error, caused by loading a specially crafted save file for Twilight Princess. This is the first way found to boot homebrew software without the use of hardware modifications to the Wii console. The Twilight Hack is the name given to the exploit found by Team Twiizers of in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that permits homebrew developers and everyday users to run unofficial homebrew software from a SD card inserted into the slot on the front of the Wii.
