Talon is the father of Malon and owner of Lon Lon Ranch who first appears in Ocarina of Time. Link first finds him sleeping outside Hyrule castle, which Malon has asked to find him.

Link uses a cucco to wake him up, and then hurries back to find Malon. Later, if Link heads to Lon Lon Ranch, he can participate in a mini-game to earn a bottle of milk. Also at the farm is his farmhand Ingo, who seven years later is given the ranch by Ganondorf to take-over, which forces Talon to stay at Kakariko Village. However, he returns once Link defeats Ingo in a horse race.
