At a glance
Lon Lon Ranch is the family ranch in the middle of Hyrule Field in Ocarina of Time. Talon owns it, Malon works it, and Ingo takes it over in the adult era under the name Ingo’s Ranch. It is where Epona is raised and where Malon teaches Epona’s Song. The Japanese name is ロンロン牧場. The official Mexican Spanish store page calls it Rancho Lon Lon.

Numbers that change by version
I do not collapse these into one “correct” price. Zelda Wiki and Fandom describe the 1998 and 2011 games. IGN and Eurogamer describe the 5 Nov 2026 Switch 2 remake. Both columns stay.

Overview trailer
Nintendo posted the Switch 2 overview trailer on 14 Oct 2026. Nintendo lists a 5 Nov 2026 release and a $59.99 US digital price. Its launch announcement reports 5.2 million copies sold worldwide in the first four days; copies sold is not a count of active players.
Ranch areas
Zelda Dungeon and Zelda Wiki agree on four working areas: the house with the Cucco coop, the stable, the outdoor corral, and the storage shed. A child-only secret grotto sits on the left side of the paddock. The in-game map below is the Switch 2 area, hosted so you can match those names to the picture.
