[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Lon Lon Ranch as seen in Ocarina of Time

Lon Lon Ranch is located at the center of Hyrule Field. Talon and his daughter Malon run the ranch, and Ingo works there. They raise horses, cows, and cuccos. After Link wakes up Talon, he can learn "Epona's Song" from Malon. Link can also obtain a bottle filled with Lon Lon Milk if he is able to find the three "Super-Cuccos" in Talon's mini-game.

When Link returns to Lon Lon Ranch as an adult, he finds that Ingo has been given the ranch by Ganondorf and kicked Talon out. With the help of Epona however, Link outraces Ingo in a horse race. The frustrated Ingo bets Link that he cannot be beaten again, and puts Epona in as his bet. After losing once more, Ingo locks Link in the ranch, preventing him from leaving with his prize. Trapped, Link and Epona proceed to jump over the ranch's outer fence, leaving Lon Lon Ranch behind and changing Ingo's evil ways. Ingo seemingly returns to normal after this, and Talon moves back to the ranch. At the end of the game, the citizens of all races of Hyrule come to the ranch to celebrate the defeat of Ganondorf.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Lon Lon Ranch is located to the east of Hyrule Town and north of the Eastern Hills. Again, it is owned and operated by Malon and Talon, who raise cows and cuccos, but only have one horse, whom is theorized to be Epona. At one point, Talon loses the key to the house, however, Link retrieves it for him. Malon is then able to sell Lon Lon Milk from the ranch cows in Hyrule Town.

[edit] Etymology

The name for Lon Lon Ranch may have been derived from the owners' names, Malon and Talon, as both names end with -lon, the name of their ranch.
