Ingo is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[6]
Biography
Ocarina of Time
Ingo appears as Talon's employee at Lon Lon Ranch in Ocarina of Time.[7] During Link's childhood, Ingo is found working hard at the Ranch, though grumbles and moans about the laziness of his superior, Talon.[8] Conversely, Ingo appeals to Ganondorf and is granted ownership to the Ranch during Link's adult era. He kicks Talon out of the Ranch and orders Malon to do the hard work while he charges Rupees in exchange for short Horse rides. Ingo will also challenge Link to a Horse race after he recognizes Link's skill for riding Horses.[9] After losing the race, Ingo challenges Link to another race, promising to give him the Horse if he is defeated.[10] He concedes defeat after Link defeats him again, but attempts to trap him and Epona inside the Ranch so that they can never leave.[11] Link and Epona escape the Ranch by jumping over the fence. After this, Ingo's personality seems to have changed, and he is now grateful for the opportunity to work under Talon.[12]
Oracle of Seasons
Ingo appears as an easily agitated man who lives in his House in Sunken City and collects Vase. To complete his vase collection, Ingo wants a Goron Vase,[13] an object which was always refused to him by Biggoron. Link is required to get the vase from Biggoron and trade it for Ingo's dinner to continue the Trading Game.[14]

Thank you very much for the other day... I haven't even asked you your name yet... ... Really? LinkAppears in-game as the player's chosen name.! That's what I thought! You're the fairy boy from the forest! That was years ago! Do you remember me? You do? I was sure it was you, because Epona remembered you! Oh, I have to tell you about Mr. Ingo... He was afraid the Evil King might find out that Epona had been taken away... It really upset him! But one day, all of a sudden, he went back to being a normal, nice person! I can't believe it, but peace is returning to this ranch! It's all because of you! I owe you so much! Thank you! Thank you, LinkAppears in-game as the player's chosen name.!

I am Ingo and I mind the ranch. I've been working at this ranch for a long time for that lazy bum, Talon.
— Ingo (Ocarina of Time) - ↑
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) - ↑
You're getting better! How about a little race with me? One lap around the corral with that horse. Let's make a little wager—say 50 Rupees?
— Ingo (Ocarina of Time 3D) - ↑
Sh-shoooot! If the great Ganondorf found out about this humiliation... Hey, you! How about another race? If you win... You can keep...the horse!
— Ingo (Ocarina of Time 3D) - ↑
Hah ha hah! As I promised, I'll give the horse to you... However... I'll never let you leave this ranch!
— Ingo (Ocarina of Time 3D) - ↑
Hi there, how are you? I am Ingo. I feel so honored to be allowed to work here.

Do you know of the Goron Vase? All collectors want to have it!

Shooot! That Biggoron! No matter how often I ask, he won't give me his vase! I'd give my dinner for it--Fish!
