What You'll Learn
Wait for the egg to hatch into a chicken
To wake up the sleeping guy at Hyrule Castle, you will need to wait for the egg to hatch into a chicken. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- First, obtain the egg from Malon. She will give you the egg in Hyrule Castle, not in the Hyrule Market, so make sure you are in the right location.
- Now, all you need to do is wait. The egg will hatch into a chicken overnight or at the next sunrise.
- Once the egg has hatched, select the chicken to one of your assignable 3DS button slots.
- Stand next to the sleeping man, who is Malon's father, Talon.
- Use the chicken near Talon, and he will wake up.
- With Talon awake, he will run off to find Malon, and you can continue on your journey.
It is important to note that you can skip this entire process by using explosives to boost yourself to a ledge and avoid the area where Talon is sleeping. However, if you want to proceed with the egg-hatching method, just follow the steps outlined above and wait for that egg to hatch into a chicken!

Assign the chicken to a button
To wake up the sleeping man at Hyrule Castle, you need to first receive an egg from Malon, which will hatch into a chicken. The chicken's crow will wake the man. To assign the chicken to a button, follow these steps:
First, ensure you have received the egg from Malon. This will happen in Hyrule Castle, not Hyrule Market, so you may need to press 'A' a few times to ensure she goes there. Next, wait for the sun to rise again for the egg to hatch into a chicken.
Now that you have the chicken, you can assign it to a button. Typically, this will be one of the lower-screen buttons, which should be easier to access than the constant digging through menus required in the N64 version. Check your controller settings to assign the chicken to the desired button.
With the chicken assigned to a button, you can now use it to wake up the sleeping man, Talon. Simply press the assigned button to make the chicken crow, which will startle Talon awake. After talking to him, he will run off after Malon, and you can continue on your way.

Stand next to Talon
To wake up Talon, the sleeping man at Hyrule Castle, you must first obtain the egg from Malon, the red-haired or redheaded girl in a white dress. You can find her near the centre of Hyrule Market or Hyrule Castle Town, or standing next to some green vines on the wall. Talk to her twice, and she will give you the egg.
Wait for the egg to hatch into a cucco. If it hasn't hatched yet, just wait around until it does. This may happen at sunrise. Once you have the cucco, stand next to Talon and use it by pressing the C button. The chicken's crow will wake Talon up.
After Talon wakes up, you can speak to him to verify what Malon told you earlier about the milk delivery and the fact that he fell asleep. Talon will then run away, screaming out of fear of his own daughter.

Use the chicken to wake him up
To wake up the sleeping man at Hyrule Castle, you will need to receive an egg from Malon, a redheaded girl in a white dress, who can be found near the centre of Hyrule Market. You will need to wait until the sun rises again for the egg to hatch into a chicken. Stand next to Malon's father, Talon, and use the chicken; he will wake up to the chicken's crow and run away to find Malon.
To enter Hyrule Castle, you will need to sneak around the guards. Climb the vines directly next to Malon and work your way across the cliff, then jump off the top of the gate to the ground below. As you work your way up the dirt path, cut through the hilly pastures between the stationed guards and run along the grass towards the stairs leading to the castle. Do not go up the stairs. Instead, climb the vines on the wall to the left and dive into the castle moat. Swim to the far corner, clamber out, and head towards the end of the path, where you will find Talon sleeping on the ground.
With Talon out of the way, you can push and pull the Lon Lon Ranch milk crates into the moat and use them as a platform to jump to a small opening in the castle wall with the Triforce symbol above it. Crawl through the opening and navigate the castle courtyard, remaining out of sight of the guards. The guards follow very scripted patrol patterns, so with a little patience, you will be able to sneak past them. You can even run behind them as long as you don't get too close. If you are caught, you will have to start over from the area where you met Talon. Some of the guards move faster as you get deeper into the courtyard, so pay attention and be careful. When you reach the courtyard, the music changes. Approach the young girl at the window to meet the princess of Hyrule.

Speak to him to remind him of his daughter
To wake up the sleeping man at Hyrule Castle, you must first obtain an egg from Malon, the red-haired girl in the market place. She is the daughter of the sleeping man, Talon, and is worried about him as he went to Hyrule Castle to deliver some crates of Lon Lon milk but fell asleep.
Once you have the egg, you need to wait for it to hatch into a chicken. This will happen automatically when the sun rises. You can then use the chicken's crow to wake up Talon.
After Talon wakes up, speak to him again to remind him that his daughter, Malon, is waiting for him. Upon learning that Malon asked you to find him, he will hastily exit the area, no longer blocking your pathway.
It is important to note that you must speak to Talon again after he wakes up to trigger this reaction. Simply waking him up is not enough to get him to move out of your way.
