Lon Lon Ranch

[Flagpole]

This topic may be pointless, but: any of you guys ever thought was "Lon Lon" means?

The answer came to my head when I thought. "mmm, the names Malon and Talon are very similar... hey, they both finish with Lon, that's the answer of why the ranch is called Lon Lon Ranch!"

Someone thought of this or anything else about this ranch?

Sounds plausible. You may be right.

I don't know, what else is there to say about the ranch?

Are there any connections with the other ranch (from MM)?
What was THAT ranch called again? It it also the Lon Lon? I'm not sure..
Where does Cremia from MM come from? where has Talon gone? Ingo found his brother and went next door?

What about LA? Marin and ... Tarin? (No, that doesn't sound well, what were their names?) Were they farmers?

' Lon' means a fierce male. So by adding the second Lon it emphasizes that.
So I'm guessing it's a metaphor for fierce studs, horses.

The Termina ranch is called Romani Ranch, after the parallel younger Malon.

Yeah, I never noticed that but it sounds like a good idea

Yeah,I think that's right....Ta-lon and Ma-lon....

Hmm, that is very possible that it's name come from Talon and his daughter. I wonder What his wife's name was lol. Perhaps Lon is more or less a surname for them? Also if you take into count when Ingo takes over the ranch, he renames it Ingo ranch, so that could make it even more sold theory.

Or it is even possible that the game designers named it Lon Lon, and picked like names for the characters work at the ranch (with Ingo being the exception, as being the um.. villain)

I always thought it was because of the father and daughter's names, Malon and Talon.

I always believed that ever since I first played OoT. Perhaps it's some tradition that the owner of the ranch names their offspring ending with "Lon." So that it will stay in the family.

I have always believed in this. And also, did anybody find it odd that the siblings in Ordona in TP had the names Talo and Malo. Add an "n" and they're the same.
