malon

Malon is a character from Nintendo's Legend of Zelda video game series. She first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, released in 1998. In this game, Malon is the daughter of Talon, the owner of Lon Lon Ranch, a farm located in the Hyrule Field. She is known for her love of horses and her singing.

Malon plays a supporting role in Ocarina of Time. Link, the protagonist, can visit Lon Lon Ranch to obtain Epona, a special horse, by learning Epona's Song from her. She also provides Link with milk and sometimes offers advice. Her personality is generally depicted as kind, cheerful, and a bit naive.

The character reappeared in the sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, in a different role. Here, she is a shopkeeper in Romani Ranch, a smaller ranch located in the southern part of Termina. While still retaining her characteristic kindness, her circumstances are more challenging, as she and her younger sister, Romani, are fending for themselves.

Malon has also made appearances in other Legend of Zelda titles, often in cameo roles or as part of the recurring stable or ranch owner archetype. Her consistent presence across multiple games has made her a recognizable and often fondly remembered character within the series' fanbase, frequently associated with themes of nature, animals, and simple rural life.
