Lon Lon Ranch, Malon's Home
Lon Lon Ranch is in central Hyrule Field and is home to Talon and Malon. It sells Lon Lon Milk, hides a Piece of Heart, and is renamed Ingo’s Ranch in the adult era until the family gets it back.

The ranch as a household
Other guides draw this map as a collectible route. This page draws it as Malon’s house. The corral is where she stands with the horse in daylight once her father is home. The house is where she sleeps at night in that same stretch, according to the one Game8 line, and where Talon runs his cucco game. The stable is Ingo’s workplace, which matters because the adult takeover starts there. People on the property are indexed at characters, and Talon’s two nap spots, one of which is not even on the ranch, are on his page.
Ingo’s Ranch, then home again
After the skip, Ganondorf’s rise is the backdrop and Ingo has the sign repainted. Talon is out. Malon stays with the horses. Ride prices are versioned: 10 then 50 Rupees on Nintendo 64 and 3DS, 20 then 20 in the remake. Two wins, a closed gate, and a jump over that gate or a low fence — that sequence is shared by the wiki and IGN. In 2026 the buildings sit on flat ground instead of a plateau, and a new wooden tower is an exit that does not require the horse. Step-by-step riding is on Malon’s Friend; the timed fences are on the obstacle course.
