Lon Lon Ranch

From Lozwiki

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, Lon Lon Ranch is located in the center of Hyrule Field. The four main buildings are the house, the stables, the chicken coop, and the storage shed. The ranch raises Cuccos, dairy cattle(or Lon Lons), and horses, including Epona. The interior of the ranch, which is the largest space, boasts a corral for training and raising the horses, where they also graze. The entire ranch is situated on a rocky plateau and is protected by a high, wooden fence crowned by metals spires. The fence keeps out trespassers and intruders while keeping and protecting the livestock within.

When Link is a child, the ranch is owned by Talon and operated by him, his daughter Malon, and their hard-working ranch-hand, Ingo. Seven years later, Link learns that Ganondorf kicked Talon out, then transferred ownership of the ranch to Ingo. "The Fabulous Ingo's 'Ingo Ranch'" has actually prospered, but Malon was forced to work under Ingo or he would "treat the horses very badly." During Ganondorf's reign, Talon was forced to live elsewhere. Taking up residence in Kakariko Village, Talon hides his depression, over losing his daughter and ranch to Ingo, by constantly sleeping.

When Link frees Epona and Malon from Ingo's bondage, Talon returns home and promises to turn over a new leaf and to "work hard from now on." Within days, Ingo mysteriously transforms into being a nice person and returns to work as a ranch-hand. He and Talon befriend each other and Malon's relationship with her father is restored and improved.

Majora's Mask features a ranch called Romani Ranch that is similar to Lon Lon Ranch, with similar-looking characters.


The Minish Cap

In The Minish Cap, it is much the same, but it is much smaller with no horses (other than Epona) or high fences, no sign of Ingo, and no Cuccos. It is located to the east of Hyrule Town instead of the center of Hyrule Field.
