Romani Ranch (ロマニー牧場, Romanii-bokujou) is a ranch located in Termina, famous for its extremely tasty Romani Milk. It is owned by Cremia, who lives with her younger sister, Romani. The ranch is home to several other people, sidequests, and items. Link won't be able to access the ranch before Day 3, though, unless he has a Powder Keg, as Skull Kid has placed a large boulder in front of the ranch entrance that must be picked away by one of the carpenters.

People
Romani
- Main article: Romani
Younger sister to Cremia. She constantly refers to herself in third person, and calls Link "Grasshopper", probably due to his green clothing. She tries to defend the ranch from Them, but isn't able to do it herself, and Cremia doesn't believe that They exist.
Cremia
- Main article: Cremia
Older sister to Romani. She more or less runs the ranch herself, and delivers all of the produced milk to vendors in Clock Town, primarily the Milk Bar. She's a smart girl, and well-rooted to reality, not believing Romani's warning about Them coming[1]. Even she knows, though, that the Moon is about to fall.
Grog
- Main article: Grog
Grog is the caretaker of the Cucco Shack. He loves the little cucco chicks and wants to see them grow to be adult cucco, but knows he won't be able to due to the Moon's impending crash.[2]
Mamamu Yan
- Main article: Mamamu Yan
Mamamu Yan is a woman who loves dogs, and runs the Doggy Racetrack.[2] She has the dogs race every now and then, and Link can bet on which one he thinks will win.
Them
- Main article: Them
The identities of Them are never really talked about in the game. Regardless of who they are, They visit the ranch every year before The Carnival of Time to steal the ranch's cows.
Places
Mama's House
The largest building on the ranch itself is the house of Cremia and her younger sister Romani, whom is named after the ranch. They inherited the ranch after both of their parents passed away, and with it came all of the ranch's livestock.[3][4]
Barn
This is where Cremia keeps the livestock of the ranch, namely the ever-so-coveted cows. The cows are milked here daily, and a few Rupees can be found in the hay in the corners.
Cucco Shack
The Cucco Shack is home to Grog, and is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.[5] The Cucco Shack has 10 little cucco chicks in it, as well as decorative cucco paintings on the walls. There are small wall-portions in the cucco yard, which seem to serve no beneficial purpose whatsoever. Grog's last wish before the moon falls is to see the cucco chicks turn into roosters.[2] Link can help him fulfill his wish by parading around the shack with the Bremen Mask on and getting the cucco chicks to follow him. Once all 10 of them are behind following Link, they will immediately begin to transform into full-grown Cuccos. Link in turn receives the Bunny Hood from Grog in thanks for helping him out.[6]
Doggy Racetrack
The Doggy Racetrack is home to Mamamu Yan, and is open from 6 a.m to 8 p.m.[7] Link can come here to watch and bet on dog races. If the dog he chooses places 1st, he will win triple his bet. If the dog places second, he will win double the bet. For third to fifth places, he will break even. Any place lower wins nothing.[8] The dog choice can be made easier if Link wears the Mask of Truth while lifting a dog. This will allow him to read the dog's mind to determine how the dog feels about the day's race. Winning more that 150 rupees will win Link a Piece of Heart.
If the golden dog is thinking anything positive, it will almost always get first place. Once the golden dog has won after having a positive thought, it will tend to keep having positive thoughts until Link leaves the area. The black dog will almost always lose very badly. The other dogs are rather typical and will usually win only if thinking a very positive thought.
Important Items
- Epona must be re-obtained at the ranch after Link has beaten the Snowhead Temple. Romani will subject Link to a target test first, though.
- A Piece of Heart is won at the Doggy Racetrack by winning at least 150 rupees.
- The Bunny Hood is earned at the Cucco Shack from Grog.
- The Romani's Mask is obtained at the entrance to Clock Town, but the quest to get it is started on the second day at the ranch.
- A Bottle is earned after defending the ranch from Them.
Trivia
- The arch at the entrance to Romani Ranch is the same arch from the entrance to Kakariko Village in Ocarina of Time, and did not have its text re-written; therefore, despite being located in Termina, the sign still reads (when translated from Japanese) "Welcome to Kakariko Village".
