Talon



Talon (タロン, Taron) 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 daughter, named Malon, who he entrusts his finest horse, Epona.

In Oracle of Seasons he and Malon lived in a chicken farm north of Horon Village.

Trivia

 * Talon, along with his employee Ingo, seem based off of Mario and Luigi from the Super Mario Bros. 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, due to the startling similarities in their appearance. In Oracle of Seasons, Talon's hat has an M on it, just like Mario's. The irony in this symbolic relationship is of course the Bowser emblem on Talon's scarf, which is also present on Malon.
