Talon

I wanna say Malon asked for one of those masks
back in the day... But I may be imagining things.

Huh? A visitor?

Ingo's not actually a bad guy.

It wasn't good that I slacked off so much and left
it to him to pick up after me...

All three of us will be splitting the ranch work
evenly from now on.

Have you talked to Ingo? He's not actually a bad
guy, ya know.

I admit that I slacked off a little too much before,
and I left it to him to pick it up. That wasn't right.

Now that I'm back, the three of us will all be
workin' together to run the ranch.

Malon came up with a new style of horse race
she's been itching to roll out.

She says she wants to spruce up the ranch too...
I couldn't be happier with how she's grown up.

Hey, uh...forget that "husband" nonsense I was
spoutin' earlier, alright?

If Malon caught wind I was talkin' like that, I'd
never hear the end of it.

Y'know, son...if you're interested, Malon may be
lookin' for a husband someday soon...

Wahahaha! I'm just yankin' your chain, son!

Huh... Why do I feel like I've said that before...

Have you talked to my daughter, Malon? She's got
a new obstacle course she's been itchin' to try.

I'm doing my chores around here like I oughta.

If you've got some time to kill, you can find the
others outside.

Ingo's loans? Oh, right! I paid 'em all.

I actually had a decent stash of rupees from my
cucco-findin' game and milk deliveries.

I'd totally forgotten until I got back here.

Wahahahahaha!

I'm up, I'm up!

Oh, it's just you... Don't scare me like that, son!

There you are, son! Thanks for swinging by
Kakariko Village to pay me a visit!

You're the whole reason I was able to make it
back here at all!

Now that I'm back, I'm turning over a new leaf.
I'm gonna start busting my hump around here.
And I'm cutting naps down to just five a day!

I don't have much to offer ya, but you can find
the others outside if you want to chat!

Malon deserves only the best... I hope she ends up with
someone good, like that boy from the forest.

Phew-wee...

Zzz...

It's bedtime, son. Give me a break, will ya...

Lon Lon Ranch is closed for the night. I need my
beauty sleep, OK, son?

Let me be, son. It's nighttime, and I need my
beauty sleep...

Son... I haven't even gone to sleep yet.

Can you cut it out with the crowing?

That's the sound that wakes me up every single
day, son. Frazzles the nerves, y'know?

Hey, knock it off!

I'm tryin' to work here!

What're you doin'?

So, you just stopping by? Glad to see ya!

Whoa. Those are some swanky specs... If I wore
those around while I was trying to work, they'd get
caught up on something for sure.

Hey, I recognize that fella... I think Malon used to
talk about him back in the day.

Honey?! You're looking a bit bony!

...Oh, it's just a mask.

Honey?! You're looking so full of life!

...Oh, it's just a mask.

Watching those ears bounce around is making
me sleepy...

Malon's whip-smart... She takes after her mom in that way.

I wanna be the kind of man Malon can look up to...

That mask kinda reminds me of the missus... Er, in
the way everything does, y'know?

Whatever it is you're sellin', we don't need—
...Oh, it's just a mask.

That mask kinda reminds me of the missus... Er, in
the way everything does, y'know?

Hey, I recognize the look of that mask. It looks just
like— You know what? Never mind.

Hey, I recognize the look of that mask. Looks like
someone I've seen before. Err...does it?

Whoa... That's one intense mask.

Zzz... Zzz...

Mimimimi... Malon...

Turning over a new leaf... Honk! Back to work... Shooo...

Oh, it's you... What do you need, son?

Huh? You went to Ingo Ran— Er, you went to
Lon Lon Ranch? You talked to Ingo?

Phew... I'm glad Malon is safe. I owe ya, son!

I'm gonna turn over a new leaf and start busting
my hump proper around the ranch again!

And...that starts with gettin' outta here! I can't just
be loafin' around here! I got ranchin' to do!

Malon! I'm comin'!

Phew! That cucco's crow really does the trick...

*gasp* Malon!

H-honey?!

Oh, it's just a mask!

*sigh* I'm worried about my daughter, Malon.

But Ingo's in charge of Lon Lon Ranch now. I don't
even know what I could do to help...

Urghh... I can't stop worrying about Malon and
the whole situation at Lon Lon Ranch...

But there's nothing I can do while Ingo's in charge!
I need to think of a way to deal with him first.

*sigh* I really should get back so I can help Malon
out as soon as I possibly can...

But I'm no use to her or Lon Lon Ranch right now.
I don't know what to do...

Lon Lon Ranch was taken over by this fella by the
name of Ingo. Now it's called Ingo Ranch.

Ingo kicked me out, which landed me here. But
my daughter, Malon, is still back there—stuck
working for Ingo.

I hope she's OK... A father worries...

Thanks, son...but what do I do?

*sigh* I'm so worried about Malon, my daughter
back at Lon Lon Ranch...

But with the way things are right now...I just can't
muster the gumption to go back.

Hey, thanks for wakin' me up.

Mmrrgh.

I'm up, I'm up... Ya don't need to be sneakin' up
on me like that, son.

*sigh* Here I am, lyin' around, sleepin' again.
I should really get outta here and help out
Malon, but...

I can't go back to Lon Lon Ranch with things the
way they are now.

I hope Malon's OK...

Urgh...

Malon...

I'm up, I'm up!

What in tarnation?!

I'm up, I'm up! I'm awake!

Whoa! A spirit critter!

Oh, it's just a mask!

Whoa... A talking skeleton!

Oh, it's just a mask!

Whoa... A talking tree!

Oh, it's just a mask!

A c-c-c...critter spirit!

Oh, it's just a hat!

A gh-gh-gh...ghost?!

...Oh, it's just a mask.

Whoa! I didn't do anything wrong!

Oh, it's just a mask!

A f-f-f...fish?!

Oh, it's just a mask!

A th-th-th...thief?!

Oh, it's just a mask!

P-Princess Zelda?! You're still...a kid?

Oh, it's just a mask!

F-fairy child?! Is it really you?!

Oh, it's just a mask!

I hope you're OK... Malon...

Sorry I'm...not there for you... Malon...

Epona is not for sale, Ingo...

Zzz...

*mumble* *mumble* Welcome...

Enjoy your time...at our ranch... Zzz...

*mumble* *mumble*

Don't be mad, Malon... Zzz...

*mumble* *mumble*

Malon still...waiting at the gate... Zzz...

Zzz... Zzz...

Malon loves that one.

C-c-cold!

Hey!

Huh?!

Watch it!

Gotta keep you youngsters motivated. Now do
your best!

Careful there... We don't want you gettin' hurt.

Yeah? Got something for me?

It'll run ya 30 rupees. That OK?

Thank ya for your purchase! Now then, got an
empty bottle for me?

Alright! One bottle of Lon Lon milk comin' right—
...Hang on a minute.

Looks like you don't have any empty bottles on ya
right now. That's too bad.

Make sure to bring one next time, alright?

Wuh-oh! Looks like you're a bit light on rupees.
Come on back after ya save up some allowance.

You're welcome back anytime.

It'll run ya 10 rupees. Whaddaya say?

Alright, let me set up. Just one moment...

OK, you fly over there... You and you, over that way...

Ya got 30 seconds to get the job done, OK?
Alright, now, here we go.

GET FINDING!

...Alright, I'll go over 'em one more time for ya.

I'll send three super cuccos out to mingle with the
flock of normal cuccos.

If ya find 'em all, you win! If ya don't, I win.

Find 'em all, and I'll give you the best prize I've
got—some of the good stuff: Lon Lon milk!

One swig of this is sure to cure whatever ails ya!
I'm so confident in the quality, I even throw in a
free refillable bottle for first-time winners.

You don't have any empty bottles, so I can't give
ya any prizes. Wanna play? It'll be 10 rupees...

Hang on, there. Looks like you don't have any
empty bottles, so I won't be able to give ya any
prizes. Still wanna play? It'll be 10 rupees...

The fairy child's here to pay us a little visit, eh?
Well, you can find Malon outside.

Oh, not here to play with her, huh? I suppose that
means you're here for me, then?

Wah!

Alright, alright! I'm awake!

Huh? I'm up! I'm up!

Well, if it isn't the fairy child. Got some free time,
do ya? Then c'mon, let's play!

Hey there, fairy child. Got some free time, do ya?
Then c'mon, let's play!

Wait a sec. If it isn't the fairy child from the castle!
Boy, do I owe you one!

Since you're here... If ya got some free time, we
could play a little game!

The rules are dirt simple. All ya gotta do is find all
three super cuccos.

This here's my little side hustle... I call it—
uh-HEM—the cucco-findin' game!

Huh? Well, well! If it isn't the fairy child from the
castle! Boy, do I owe you one!

But since you're here... If ya got some free time,
we could play a little game!

The rules are dirt simple. All ya gotta do is find all
three super cuccos.

Zzz... Zzz...

Zzz... Just a few more minutes, Malon... *snort*

Quittin' already?

Well, that's too bad. Come back later on, then.

Whoa-hoho there... You feelin' alright, little guy?
Get a hold of yourself!

Oho!

Hey-hey!

Whoa, now!

That's one! Keep it up! Just two more!

There's another one! Alright, now, just one left!

Amazing! That's all of 'em! Now head back
over here!

Come on back now, y'all!

That's some eye ya got there, little buddy! Got any
interest in workin' on this ranch when ya grow up?

Take this Lon Lon milk as a reward!

Here's your reward: a bottle of Lon Lon milk!
...Huh?

You must have an eye for livestock!

Ya wanna marry Malon and take over the ranch
one day?

Hah! I was only kidding! Just a joke, little buddy!
Still a bit young for that, aren't ya? Aah-hahaha!

Alright. As promised, here ya go...

One bottle of Lon Lon milk! Cheers!

After ya finish your milk, bring your bottle back,
and I'll give ya a refill for just 30 rupees.

Alright, time's up! That was a solid try, son!

These cuccos rake in the dough like nobody's
business, yes sir, yes sir... A fine flock indeed!

Wanna try again? Ya wouldn't go quittin' on a loss,
would ya? Just find all three within 30 seconds!

How about one round for five rupees?

Wuh? Whaa!

Whew! Got a few good z's in there...

Wahahaha! Oh, sorry, sorry!

A little shut-eye never hurt anyone! But, uh...we
should hurry home, or I'll get an earful from Ingo.

Time to pack up, Malon!

Well, I guess we know who the responsible one is around here.

Zzz...

*mumble* Huh?

Whoa! Those are some fancy specs, bud...
I couldn't wear those around the ranch. They're
likely to get caught on something!

Malon's whip-smart... She takes after her mom in that way.

Hey, I recognize that fella... That's one of them,
uhh...Kinton guys.

That's one scary mask... Kinda looks like Ingo.

That's one nasty mask... Kinda looks like Ingo.

Watching those ears bounce around is making
me sleepy...

That mask kinda reminds me of the missus... Er, in
the way everything does, y'know?

Whatever it is you're sellin', we don't need—
...Oh, it's just a mask.

That mask kinda reminds me of the missus... Er, in
the way everything does, y'know?

Hey, I recognize the look of that mask. It's the
spittin' image of Princess Zelda.

Hey, I recognize the look of that mask. That was a
popular style, oh...a while back now, I suppose.

Hey, I recognize the look of that mask. Actually...
Now that I think about it, I'm not so sure I do.
