Talon
Talon is an NPC actor in Ocarina of Time.
Placement
In the Lon Lon ranch house and Hyrule Castle the default variant is additionally gated by his questline flags; in every other scene it always spawns as the sleeping Talon. Waking him sets the real questline's story flags save-wide.
Variants (3)
This actor is placed in one of these forms. Pick it from the editor's Variant dropdown. The value is what the actor's parameters store. The editor draws every one of these identically, so this list has no pictures. They differ in behaviour, or in something the preview doesn't model.
| Value | Variant |
|---|---|
0 | Default (asleep, works anywhere) |
1 | Exiled in Kakariko (adult only, before he returns)The exiled Talon is doubly gated: child Link never sees him, and he despawns once the "returned from Kakariko" story flag is set. |
2 | Returned to the ranch (adult, after the chase)The returned-to-ranch Talon only spawns for adult Link on a save where he was already chased home from Kakariko — a fresh save never sees him. |
Parameters
Beyond the variant above, the parameters hold these fields. The editor shows each as a labelled control.
