Romani Ranch, also known as the Village of Milk and Chateau Romani's Village, is a ranch located in Termina, famous for its extremely tasty Chateau Romani.[1][2][3] It is owned by Cremia, who lives with her younger sister, Romani.[4] 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 the Gorman Brothers have placed a large boulder in front of the ranch entrance that must be picked away by one of the carpenters.[5]

Prior to the events of Majora's Mask, the father of Cremia and Romani passed away; however, he left them with with Romani-bred cows that are able to produce a special kind of milk called Chateau Romani, which the ranch is most famous for.[6][7] Ever since then, Cremia has been taking care of both the ranch and her sister, although lately she's been having some trouble due to the nearby Gorman Brothers who preside over their own ranch.[7] The two brothers have been using underhanded tactics to hinder their Romani milk business, such as breaking bottles of milk during deliveries, although Cremia is not aware of who is responsible for these actions.[7] It is also likely that they were the ones responsible for blocking off Romani Ranch with a huge boulder, preventing Cremia from peddling supplies to Clock Town's Milk Bar.[8] Moreover, it can be assumed that the Gorman Brothers have also been
When Link arrives to the ranch, he sees that Epona, who was stolen by the Skull Kid at the beginning of the game, is being kept safely in a stall.[9] Here, the young hero meets Romani, who teaches Link "Epona's Song." She goes on to tell Link that she's been practicing for the arrival of "Them". "Them", as Romani calls them, are ghost-like creatures that come to the ranch and steal the cows every year as the Carnival of Time approaches.[10] Her older sister, Cremia, won't believe her, and so Romani recruits Link and asks that he come to the ranch at 2 a.m., which is when "They" will come.[11] Together, Link and Romani fend off the ghosts until dawn, saving the cows. As thanks, Romani rewards Link with a bottle containing Romani Milk and calls him a "Little hero."[12]
On the Second Day, Cremia will invite Link to accompany her on her milk delivery to the town's Milk Bar by wagon. If Link accepts, Cremia and Link will discover that the road to Clock Town has been blocked due to the Gorman Brothers; as such, they are forced to take a detour through the Gorman Track.[13] The Gorman Brothers, wearing the Garo Mask while riding on their horses, chase the wagon and try to break the cargo of milk bottles.[14] Link chases them off using his bow and arrows, and the pair is able to escape the Gorman Brothers without any major harm done.
Most of the citizens of Clock Town are planning to take refuge from the Moon in the ranch on the night of the Final Day.[15][16] However, Cremia reveals that they're not safe from the moon in the ranch either, sadly accepting the fate that awaits all of them.[17] After Link saves Termina from its doom, Romani can be seen practicing her archery skills in the ranch as Cremia cheers her on.
People
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
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.[18] Even she knows, though, that the Moon is about to fall, and realizes that they cannot escape the devastation that awaits all of Termina by taking refuge in the ranch.
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.[19]
Mamamu Yan
Mamamu Yan is a woman who loves dogs, and runs the Doggy Racetrack.[19] She has the dogs race every now and then, and Link can bet on which one he thinks will win.
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.

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.[7][6]
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.[20] The Cucco Shack has 10 little cucco chicks in it, as well as decorative cucco paintings on the walls. If Link gets all 10 cucco chicks to follow him around while marching with the Bremen Mask, Grog will reward him with the Bunny Hood.[21]
Doggy Racetrack
The Doggy Racetrack is home to Mamamu Yan and is open from 6 a.m to 8 p.m.[22] Link can come here to watch and bet on dog races, and if he wins triple the amount of what he bet, the young hero will win a Piece of Heart
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".
