Talon is a recurring character in the Legend of Zelda series. He is the owner of Lon Lon Ranch, and the father of Malon. Talon frequently acts irresponsibly and carefree; he does little to no work at Lon Lon Ranch, leaving the hard work to Malon and Ingo, the ranch hand. More than once, he is found sleeping, completely ignorant of other people worrying about him.

Talon's appearance is similar to Mario, the protagonist of Nintendo's Mario series. He also wears a pendant that resembles Bowser, the primary antagonist in a majority of Mario games. An identical pendant is also worn by Malon.
'''Talon''' is a recurring character in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], appearing mainly in [[Lon Lon Ranch]], and every time he is accompanied along with his daughter, [[Malon]]. He is known for being carefree and generally lazy, leaving all of his work for Malon and [[Ingo]] to tend to.


==''Ocarina of Time''==
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'' franchise, 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.


Appearances
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.

Talon makes his first appearance. Here, Link first finds him sleeping outside Hyrule Castle. He had fallen asleep while waiting to deliver Lon Lon Milk to the Royal Family of Hyrule, and Link had been asked, by Malon, to find out where he was.

When Link returns to Lon Lon Ranch, Talon holds a special mini-game known as the Super Cucco-findin' Game. In this game, Link must find his three special Super Cuccos before the time limit runs out.

After this, Talon can be found inside the house and Link can then pass through on his way to [[Lake Hylia (The Minish Cap)|Lake Hylia]].


After having been sealed inside the Sacred Realm for seven years, Link returns to find Lon Lon Ranch in disarray. Ganondorf, now the King of Evil, has given the ranch to Ingo, who subsequently kicked Talon out. Link finds Talon sleeping in a generous woman's house in Kakariko Village. He can be woken up with the Pocket Cucco. Eventually, Link can defeat Ingo in a horse race. Ingo's defeat is such that he pretends that he never took over the ranch, and Talon moves back in.
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 ending sequence, it appears that Ingo and Talon have buried the hatchet, as they are merrily dancing together with all the other races of Hyrule at the celebration at Lon Lon Ranch.

Talon and Malon appear again. Here, the two breed Cuccos north of Horon Village. However, at one point, Talon falls asleep while hiking on Mt. Cucco, and Malon is left to tend to the Cuccos all by herself. Talon can eventually be awakened with the help of a Megaphone that Link can obtain as part of the trading quest for the Noble Sword. As thanks for waking him, Talon gives Link the Mushroom. This time, he even sports a Mario emblem on his hat.

Talon is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series, appearing mainly in Lon Lon Ranch, and every time he is accompanied along with his daughter, Malon. He is known for being carefree and generally lazy, leaving all of his work for Malon and Ingo to tend to.

Ocarina of Time

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 franchise, 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 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.

Oracle of Seasons

Talon is part of the Oracle of Seasons Trading Sequence. He can initially be found sleeping in a cave in Mt. Cucco. Upon waking him with the megaphone, he regrets having slept through his chance to make it to the top of the mountain, and after trading the megaphone for a mushroom, he rushed back to his home located north of Horon.

Four Swords Adventures

Talon in Four Swords Adventures lives in a house in The Field with his daughter Malon. Malon gets stuck in the rain one day, and she asks the Links to accompany her home.[1] When she returns home, Talon is happy to see her.[2] She tells him how the Soldiers have been acting strange, and he agrees that it is unusual.[3][4] He then thanks the Links and tells them that they can take a carrot to summon a horse from his farm in order to travel.[5] He also tells them that they can take anything from their storehouse.[6]

The Minish Cap

In 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 Green Kinstones 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 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 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.

  1. "It's so much fun here! I wonder why that girl does nothing but weep. Don't even bother talking to her. She's no fun." — 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.
  6. "We're so scared that we do nothing but sit at home and stare at the walls. Oh yeah, at the bottom of the stairs in front of our house, there's a storeroom. It's full of stuff we never use, so if you see anything you need, just take it!" — Talon, Four Swords Adventures.
