Ordon Ranch (
) is a location from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is a section of Ordon Village, where Link has a part-time job as a ranch hand prior to the events of the game. Working with Fado, Link rides Epona to herd the Ordon Goats. Aside from herding, however, it is possible that milking is also done on the ranch, although this is never seen in-game. Ordon Ranch presumably provides Hyrule with Ordon Goats (as two Goats appear in Hyrule Castle Town), as well as their meat, milk, and Ordon Goat Cheese made from Ordon Goat Milk.
Interestingly, later in the game the Postman can be found feeding the goats a "messy looking" letter in the barn. Also, a hidden Dig Cavern is located in the barn, a little to the left of the Postman. Killing all the enemies inside results in a Treasure Chest with a Purple Rupee appearing in the back of the chamber. It is important to note that the first time Link enters the cavern, one of the Chus will be golden and sparkling. This is one of the few times that Link will be able to get Rare Chu Jelly, which fully heals Link and gives him a strength bonus until he takes damage.
