Biography
Ocarina of Time
The 'Lon family consists of Talon, his daughter Malon, and formerly Malon's mother, who composed Epona's Song.[2][3][note 1] The family owns and manages Lon Lon Ranch in Hyrule Field. Following Ganondorf's invasion of Hyrule, the disgruntled stablehand Ingo takes control of the ranch from Talon and kicks him out.[5][6] Malon remains at the ranch out of fear Ingo will abuse the Horses if she disobeys him.[7]

Notes
- ↑ The absence of Malon's mother is never explained in-game. In the Ocarina of Time manga by Akira Himekawa, Malon states that her mother died when she was little.[4]

My mother composed this song. Isn't it nice? Let's sing together.

You... Do you know my mother's song? Everyone really liked that song... My dad... Even Mr. Ingo...

She died when I was young.

I can't believe that I, the great Ingo, am working on this dump of a ranch! Because the owner is so lazy, I always have to do to all the work around here! I, the hard-working Ingo, should be in charge, not that lazy bum, Talon!
— Ingo (Ocarina of Time) - ↑
There are some people in Kakariko spreading rumors that I cheated Talon out of the ranch, but... Don't be ridiculous! That guy Talon was weak! I, the hardworking Ingo, poured so much energy into this place! I don't want any strangers like you saying anything bad about me! Listen. The great Ganondorf recognized my obvious talents and gave the ranch to me! I will raise a fine horse and win recognition from the great Ganondorf! Say, young man, do you want to ride one of my fine horses?
— Ingo (Ocarina of Time 3D) - ↑
Oh...a visitor! It's been a long time since we've had a visitor here... Where did you come from? Since Ganondorf came, people in the Castle Town have gone, places have been ruined, and monsters are wandering everywhere. Mr. Ingo is just using the ranch to gain Ganondorf's favor... Everyone seems to be turning evil... But Dad... He was kicked out of the ranch by Mr. Ingo... If I disobey Mr. Ingo, he will treat the horses so badly... So... There's nothing I can do...

This small ranch lies just outside Hyrule Town. Father-and-daughter team Talon and Malon run it, and they sell the finest milk in Hyrule!
