==Biography==
===''Ocarina of Time''===
==={{OoT|-}}===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Talon appears many times during [[Link|Link's]] adventure. He starts off as his usual lazy self, and after Ingo seizes his ranch he becomes even worse, sleeping all day.<ref>{{cite|Look at the bearded man sleeping over there. I bet even someone like him has had his share of troubles in the past...|Woman in Kakariko Village|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> When he regains control of his ranch, he is always seen outside (in contrast to earlier in Link's quest when Link was a child and Talon was always found inside). He now pledges to "turn over a new leaf".<ref>{{cite|I'm gonna turn over a new leaf and work real hard from now on.|Talon|Ocarina of Time}}</ref>
Talon is in charge of [[Lon Lon Ranch]] in {{OoT}}.<ref>{{Cite|Yep, I'm Talon, the owner of Lon Lon Ranch. I went to the castle to deliver some milk, but I sat down here to rest, and I guess I fell asleep...|Talon|OoT}}</ref> He is lazy and a very heavy and long sleeper.<ref name="asleep"/> After [[Ganondorf]] acquires the [[Triforce of Power]] and turns [[Hyrule]] into an evil wasteland, he appoints Talon's underling, [[Ingo]], to take charge of the Ranch. After Ingo ousts Talon from the Ranch, he can be found sleeping in one of the houses in [[Kakariko Village#Ocarina of Time|Kakariko Village]].<ref>{{Cite|Look at the bearded man sleeping over there. I bet even someone like him has had his share of troubles in the past...|Hylian|OoT}}</ref> [[Link]] can only wake him up by using the [[Pocket Cucco]].

When Link is a child, Talon allows Link to play a [[Super Cucco Game|mini-game]] in which Talon would toss three special [[Cucco]]s into a crowd of normal Cuccos and asks Link to find those specific three.<ref>{{cite|Well how about a little game?

{{Term|FSA|Talon}} appears in {{Term|FSA|The Field|link}}, holding the {{Term|FSA|Moo Moo Parasol|link}}.

Talon appears in the [[Near the Fields]] area in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. Talon's role, as expected, is minimal. After escorting Malon safely home, Talon tells of recent troubles in the area and bemoans the only safe thing for them to do is stay in the house all the time. As gratitude, he will allow the Links to use horses to traverse the area past their house.

{{Figurines|TMC}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Talon lives in his ranch with Malon. The first time [[Link]] sees him, he is wandering around the front of his house at [[Lon Lon Ranch]], as he has lost [[Spare Key|his key]] and can't get in. Link must find the key and give it to Talon. As a reward, Talon will allow Link to go through his house and seek passage into [[Lake Hylia]].
 
{{Term|TMC|Talon}} and his daughter {{Term|TMC|Malon|link}} both operate {{Term|TMC|Lon Lon Ranch|link}} east of {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town|link}} in {{TMC}}.<ref>{{Cite|This small ranch lies just outside Hyrule Town.

{{Term|TMC|Link|link}} first encounters {{Term|TMC|Talon}} after speaking with the {{Plural|TMC|Town Minish|link}} in {{Term|TMC|Rem's Shoe Store|link}}.

This gives him access to {{Term|TMC|Lake Hylia|link}} and the northern portion of {{Term|TMC|Minish Woods|link}}, where {{Term|TMC|Syrup the Witch's Hut|link}} is located.<ref>{{Cite|You really helped me out, sonny.

In an ''Ocarina of Time'' developer's interview posted on [[Wikipedia:Shigesato Itoi|Shigesato Itoi]]'s website, 1101.com, script writer Toru Osawa says that Talon and [[Malon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' are based on [[Tarin]] and [[Marin]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' and it is intended that players who have played the previous game will recognize the reference.<ref>{{cite person|quote=Original Japanese: 「夢を見る島」（ＧＢ版）のときに出てきた、

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Talon, along with his employee [[Ingo]], seem based off of {{smw|Mario}} and {{smw|Luigi}} respectively from the ''Super Mario Bros.'' series. This isn't too far of a step, as [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] has included things such as monsters taken directly out of the {{smw|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 ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', Talon's hat has Mario's "M" logo on it. Also, Talon's sleeping positions in ''Ocarina of Time'' closely resemble those of Mario's from ''{{smw|Super Mario 64}}'' and ''{{smw|Super Mario Sunshine}}''.  The irony in this symbolic relationship is of course the {{smw|Bowser}} emblem on Talon's scarf, which is also present on [[Malon]].
* {{Term|Series|Talon}}'s wife is never seen in the series, although he does mention her in {{OoT|-}} when {{Term|OoT3D|Link|link}} talks to him while wearing either the {{Term|OoT3D|Gerudo Mask|link}} or {{Term|OoT3D|Goron Mask|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Hey, that reminds me of my wife... On second thought, it doesn't... It doesn't look like her at all!|Talon|OoT}}</ref>
*Talon's wife is never seen in the series, although he does mention her in ''Ocarina of Time'' when Link talks to him while wearing either the [[Gerudo Mask]] or [[Goron Mask]].<ref>{{Cite|Hey, that reminds me of my wife... On second thought, it doesn't... It doesn't look like her at all!|Talon|OOT}}</ref>
* {{Term|Series|Talon}}, along with {{Term|Series|Ingo|link}}, seem to be based on {{smw|Mario}} and {{smw|Luigi}} of the {{smw|Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario Bros.'' series}}. In an {{OoS|-}} artwork, {{Term|OoS|Talon}}'s hat even has Mario's "M" logo on it. Additionally, there is a {{smw|Bowser}} emblem on {{Term|Series|Talon}}'s scarf, which is also present on {{Term|Series|Malon|link}}. {{Term|OoT3D|Talon}}'s sleeping pose in {{OoT|-}} is also identical to Mario's sleeping pose from ''{{smw|Super Mario 64}}''.
*The character model of Talon was used in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' as the [[Mr. Barten|bartender in the Milk Bar]].
 
*[[Talo]]'s name, from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', might be a reference to Talon, along with his brother's name [[Malo]] which might be a reference to [[Malon]].
