Malo in Twilight Princess and Marin in Link’s Awakening are different characters, rather than alternate releases of Malon. Years above are the years the research file could support; month-and-day stamps for Oracle, Four Swords, and Minish Cap were not re-checked against each box, so they are omitted on purpose.

Questions people ask

Is Malon in Breath of the Wild?

No. The wiki appearance list omits her. Ranch Ruins are a place name, not a character scene.

Is Malon in Majora’s Mask?

Malon is not in the game. Romani and Cremia are the matching ranch sisters.
