Talon is the lazy owner of Lon Lon Ranch, found in the center of [[Hyrule Field]]. He bears a resemblance to Mario from the Mario Bros series, with the other ranch hand, [[Ingo]], bearing a resemblance to Luigi. He is a rather portly fellow, sporting a bald head and mustache, wearing jean overalls, a red undershirt, brown boots, and as another easter egg, a Bowser pin like Malon's. He seems to be very lazy and sleeps almost all day and all night. His daughter is Malon, whom he entrusts the horse [[Epona]] to.

 

Link first meets Talon sleeping outside the back door to [[Hyrule Castle]], having fallen asleep while delivering [[Lon Lon Milk]]. Link wakes him up with a Cucco given to him by Malon, and Talon wakes up with a jolt, rushing back to the ranch. At the ranch, Talon will let Link play the [[Super Cucco Game]], where Link must find the three special Cuccos before the time limit runs out. Successfully winning this mini-game will result in Link earning a bottle of Lon Lon Milk, and some joking from Talon about if Link wants to marry Malon. After Link drinks the Milk, he can retain the empty bottle.

During the seven years Link is sealed, Talon is kicked off the ranch by Ingo. He can be found sleeping in a house in Kakariko Village, and can be woken by the [[Pocket Cucco]] as part of the [[Ocarina of Time Biggoron's Sword Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]]. When Link frees the ranch by defeating Ingo in a race, Talon no longer sleeps all the time and says he will turn over a new leaf, returning to the ranch to work hard.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Talon lives in the Lon Lon Ranch with his daughter Malon, east of [[Hyrule Town]]. Talon later loses the key to the ranch. Link can retrieve a spare key, allowing Malon and Talon to enter the ranch. After this, Talon can be found inside the house and Link can then pass through on his way to [[Lake Hylia]].

 

Link is able to fuse [[Kinstone|Green Kinstone]]s at various points in the game with Talon. As it is a Green Kinstone fusion, it is not set to a specific treasure chest, but instead, one of the many possible treasure chests. There is one random [[Kinstone|Red Kinstone]] within the game that opens up a location in the [[Hyrule Castle Garden]] leading to a [[Piece of Heart]], as well as a random [[Kinstone|Blue Kinstone]] that opens up a tree in [[North Hyrule Field]] leading to a Fairy Fountain. Talon is one of the many characters in which Link can make this Kinstone fusion with.

*In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Talon has a Bowser-face brooch on his scarf, as well as [[Malon]].
