File:Malon.gif

First met in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Malon is the daughter of the rancher Talon, who owns Lon Lon Ranch. She has made appearances in other Zelda games, but her character has never been developed as much as this game.

Ocarina of Time

Malon is a sweet girl who loves to sing outside the castle walls at night. She takes care of most of the duties at the ranch due to her father's laziness. Link first meets Malon in the Hyrule Castle Market where she is looking for her father. After waking him up, Malon returns to Lon Lon ranch. Later, she introduces him to a young horse named Epona and teaches him Epona's song.

Seven years later, when Link returns to the ranch, Ingo has exiled Talon, taken over the ranch, and forced Malon (who has become a young woman in this time) to slave away working while he arranges gambling on the horses. Link challenges Ingo to a race and defeats him, using Epona, and they both escape the ranch. Later, Link returns to find Malon has regained control and Ingo has strangely gone back to being "a normal, nice person" (although he looks a little roughed up!). Malon does not recognize Link until he tells her his name.

As a mini-game, Malon lets him race around the ranch to compete against her best time. When he's able to beat her time, she rewards him by sending a cow to his house in Kokiri Forest (the cow may be used as a reliable and free source of Lon Lon Milk)

The Minish Cap

Malon made a cameo in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. Talon and she are locked out of their house, but Link can help them by using Ezlo's power to go into the house and find the key.
