Lon Lon Ranch

Lon Lon Ranch is a small farm that appears in a couple of games. It's owners, Malon and her father Talon, appear also in one of the Oracle games.

Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, Lon Lon Ranch is the home to Talon, Malon, Ingo, and Epona. It is located in the center of Hyrule and is owned by Talon. It is a small farm, with one house area and a barn to keep horses and cows safe. It also has a paddock that can exercise the horses daily. The Ranch raises Cuccos, horses, and cows. They make a profit by selling off Lon Lon Milk that the cows make to the people of Hyrule. An empty bottle can be won here as young Link from Talon after winning the Super Cucco Game.

As a child, Link can learn "Epona's Song" as a kid from Malon to call Epona to him, but he cannot yet ride the young horse. Seven years later, it appears that Ingo (with the help of Ganondorf) has taken over the ranch. At the fee of 10 Rupees, you can ride the horses in the ranch, and for an additional fee of 50 rupees, Link can race him for the chance to keep the horse (namely, Epona, as she is the fastest). After losing, he will challenge you again, this time he will be much harder to beat. You must beat him twice in a row, or he will not give you Epona. After losing the horse he had set aside for Ganondorf, Ingo turns the ranch over to Malon, and becomes a much happier and much more humble person after the experience. After Talon returns to the ranch, Malon runs the ranch and Ingo appears to be happier working in the ranch. Afterwards, Talon, who had been staying in Kakariko Village, returns to the ranch and says he is going to "turn over a new leaf" and work harder.

The Minish Cap
Quote from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap At Lon Lon Ranch figurine: "This small ranch lies just outside Castle Town. Father-and-daughter team Talon and Malon run it, and they sell the finest milk in Hyrule!" In The Minish Cap, the ranch is not as big as in Ocarina of Time. Here lives Malon with her father Talon with their cows. Later in the game, if you help Malon and Talon to find their house key, you can go trough the ranch to reach Lake Hylia. You can also buy milk from Malon and Epona in Castle Town. The Big Wallet can be found in an underwater cave which can be dried up after fusing Kinstones.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, everyone at the ranch in Ocarina of Time had a turn at running the ranch starting with Talon, followed by Ingo, and finally Malon.
 * Lon Lon Ranch could possibly be named after Malon and Talon.
