Welcome to Part 3 of our 100% Walkthrough of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake. Now that you have woken Talon up and sent him running home, Lon Lon Ranch is open, and while it is a short stop, it is an important one.
The main reason you are here is Epona’s Song. Malon teaches it to you in the corral, and it is one thing you really do not want to skip as a child, since it is the song that gets you Epona later on and lets you get milk from any cow. Apart from that, you will also pick up a few collectibles.
Lon Lon Ranch
After meeting with Zelda and Impa, you will be back at the town gates in Hyrule Fields. Your next stop is Lon Lon Ranch, which can be found close by in the very centre of Hyrule Fields.
The first thing you want to do here is head left as soon as you enter and roll into the tree at the back of the house to find a Gold Skulltula (8/100) .
Next, head back around to the entrance and enter the house on the left. Inside, talk to Talon and pay the 10 rupees to play the Super Cucco minigame. All you have to do is pick up the 3 Super Cuccos within 30 seconds. They move slightly differently, but it's easier to just keep picking up cuccos at random until you get all 3. After finishing, you will get your second Empty Bottle (2/5) filled with Lon Lon Milk.
After this, head into the middle of the corral and talk to Malon a few times. Then pull out your ocarina and she will teach you Epona's Song (Song 2/13). This is the first step to getting Epona (your own horse) later. It's also worth mentioning that if you play this song next to any cow while holding an empty bottle, it will fill the bottle with milk that you can then use to heal yourself.
Your final stop in Lon Lon Ranch is the half-destroyed tower in the southwest corner. Head inside and move the boxes around to reveal a small tunnel behind them that you can crawl through. Head through to find your first Heart Piece (1/36). For every four you collect, you will get an extra heart.
The ranch still has two Gold Skulltulas that only come out at night and need the Boomerang to reach, so you will come back for those once you have it.
