Talon



Talon is a simple man who is in charge of Lon Lon Ranch. Although he keeps the ranch in good condition, he is a VERY heavy and long sleeper. Sometimes it would even take a cucco to his ear to wake him up. He has a nice daughter, named Malon, who he entrusts his finest horse, Epona.

Trivia

 * Talon, along with his employee Ingo, seem based off of Mario & Luigi from the Super Mario Brothers series. This isn't too far of a step, as The Legend of Zelda series has included things such as monsters taken directly out of the Mushroom Kingdom on more than one occasion. Talon, of course, would be based off of Mario as opposed to Luigi.
 * Talon is also a "reincarnated" character, who initially appeared in Mabe Village on Koholint Island in Link's Awakening. In this game, however, his name was Tarin, and his daughter was named Marin, and was significantly older than Talon's daughter.
 * He also appeared in Majora's mask as the bar man at the milk bar in Clock Town.
