Malon is a recurring character in the Zelda series. She, and her father Talon, work on Lon Lon Ranch, selling milk to the town, raising cows, Cuccos and horses. She teaches Link Epona's Song, which may be used to summon Epona.

Appearances

Ocarina of Time

Malon appears as Young Malon (in the past), and as Adult Malon (in the future). In the past, she gives Link the Weird Egg, which will hatch in a Cucco, used to wake up Talon in Hyrule Castle. After this, she can be found in Lon Lon Ranch, humming the tune to Epona's Song. When Link talks to her and takes out his Ocarina, she will teach him Epona's Song.

In the future, the ranch has been taken by Ingo. Link beats him in a horse race by using Epona, and he gets the horse. Because of this, Ingo will come back to normal and Talon goes back to the ranch. At the day, Malon is found outside, and challenges Link to a timed race. If Link successfully wins, Malon will give him a cow of which resides in his house in Kokiri Forest.

Oracle of Seasons

Malon and Talon breed cuccos north of Horon Village, near Eyeglass Lake. When Link first talks to her, she is alone, taking care of the cuccos. She has little experience in the subject, so Link gives her a Cuccodex (something similar to a Pokédex). She'll give him a egg which turns out to be a part of the trading sequence.

Four Swords Adventures

In Four Swords Adventures, Malon can be found out in The Field during a storm. After seeing the Links speak to a green fairy, she asks them to acompany her home. She has one heart of health; when she is killed, the Links immediately die too. A Force Fairy can be use to revive all of them.

Once she returns home to Talon, he greets her enthusiastically, expressing his worry for her wellbeing. She explains how the Links helped her get home and mentions how Soldiers attacked her on the way. Talon is surprised, but nevertheless thankful for her return. In order to thank the Links, he allows them to ride a horse from his farm using a carrot. In addition, he welcomes them to take any item from their storeroom. Malon, of course, thanks them as well and says that she understands why they are friends with the green fairy.

The Minish Cap

Malon is found in the front of Lon Lon Ranch, locked outside. Link then retreives the spare key for Malon and Talon, and after these events, she starts selling Lon Lon Milk in Hyrule Town.

At Lon Lon Ranch
	This small ranch lies just outside Hyrule Town. Father-and-daughter team Talon and Malon run it, and they sell the finest milk in Hyrule!

He said that good boys and girls get to meet fairies! Like today! I was coming home after running errands but...I couldn't get back. I mean, it started raining, and the castle guards were moving all the cannons... The cannons are really old, and they're not meant to be used... It was really weird. Say, if you're all going on ahead, take me with you! You're friends with the green fairy, so of course it's OK, right? Yes No" — Malon, Four Swords Adventures.
2. ↑ "[sfx]Oh... Malon! You're late! The rain's coming down so hard, I was beginning to worry! In fact, I'd gotten so worried that I was about to go looking for you!" — Talon, Four Swords Adventures.
3. ↑ "[sfx]To tell the truth, Poppa, these young boys rescued me! The soldiers in the castle were behaving so oddly, and I couldn't get past them. They were moving the old cannons around...and they even aimed their bows at me!" — Malon, Four Swords Adventures.
4. ↑ "[sfx]What? Really? That IS strange. Something must have gotten into them. What could be going on? I wonder if something's happened at Hyrule Castle. Malon, I'm just glad that you made it home safely. It sounded like a close call!" — Talon, Four Swords Adventures.
5. ↑ "[sfx]My thanks to all of you for saving my poor Malon! I'd love to give you a token of my gratitude! Hmmm...let's see... I've got it! If you're going to continue your trip, you should go on horseback! Those castle guards are sure to be headed this way, and there are more ahead, too. You'll be much safer riding my swift horses, I'm sure! Our farm's right next door. We've lots of carrots around, so take some with you. Those horses love carrots! They'll come running if you've got some handy. Thank you once again! I'll never forget what you've done!" — Talon, Four Swords Adventures.

7. ↑ "Thanks to all of you, I made it back home safely! I hate to admit it, but at first, I wasn't sure I could really count on you guys. But it turns out, you guys are the best! You're real heroes! I think I finally understand why you guys are friends with the green fairy. Thank you so much!" — Malon, Four Swords Adventures.
