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> | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Talon appears many times during [[Link|Link's]] adventure.

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? These three Cuccos I have here are special Super Cuccos! I'm going to throw these Cuccos into that there gaggle of normal Cuccos.

I'm proud to present to you a sample of our very own Lon Lon Milk. You'll be energized the moment you drink it! After you drink it, you can bring back the bottle and buy a refill, anytime you want!|Talon|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> After Link wins the game, Talon will jokingly ask Link if he wants to marry Malon.<ref>{{cite|How'd you like to marry Malon?

I think you're a little young for that, aren't you?|Talon|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> | 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?

[[File:TalonFSAsprite.png]]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. | [[File:TalonFSAsprite.png]]Talon appears in the [[Near the Fields]] area in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''.

*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]]. | *Talon, along with his employee [[Ingo]], seem based off of {{smw|Mario}} and {{smw|Luigi}} respectively from the ''Super Mario Bros.'' series.
