Breath of the Wild does not have a working Lon Lon Ranch. It has Ranch Ruins in Hyrule Field, east of Mabe Village Ruins and south of Hyrule Castle, a short walk from Central Tower. The footprint matches the Ocarina of Time ranch closely enough that guides treat it as the same farm after the Calamity. The game itself, on the pages I read, does not print that sentence. I will say “widely read as the ruin of that ranch,” and I will not upgrade it to a quote from Nintendo.
What is there now
No residents, no milk, no Epona. Zelda Wiki’s normal-mode list is one Guardian Stalker, two Blue Bokoblins (one set of notes mentions a spiked bow, arrows, and a horse), three Chuchus, two Stalkoblins, a Stalmoblin, a Stone Pebblit, and a Yiga Footsoldier with a Duplex Bow. Master Mode swaps the Blue Bokoblins for Black Bokoblins. That inventory is one wiki page. A Korok seed is a flower trail at the southeast lean-to, again from that page.

Tears of the Kingdom, kept separate
After the Upheaval, Zelda Wiki adds fallen debris, a Ranch Ruins Cave on the north side, a wooden chest in the lean-to with a red rupee, and a second Korok under leaves on the southwest tower. It prints coordinates for those two finds: 0145, -0298, 0023 for the chest and 0074, -0326, 0034 for the Korok. Those numbers are Tears of the Kingdom. I have no matching Breath of the Wild coordinate pair, so the 2017 map stays in words: east of Mabe Village Ruins. TotK’s direction line is sometimes “southeast.” I keep “east” for BotW and “east or southeast, beside Mabe Village Ruins” when a sentence has to cover both wikis. Age of Calamity’s wording is “next to Mabe Village,” which is a third phrasing, not a third map.
A location video from 17 Mar 2017, two weeks after launch, walks to the same ruins. I use it as a picture of the walk from the tower, not as a lore source.
Finding Ranch Ruins
Look east of Mabe Village Ruins, south of Hyrule Castle. Central Tower is a nearby reference point. This sketch uses Breath of the Wild landmarks and does not substitute Tears of the Kingdom coordinates.
