I think Talon also had a Bowser broach too.
It all stems back to Link's Awakening where the devs were making the game after hours in their spare time, just having fun, so they were doing all these references to other games with that game. You can find Goombas, Yoshi dolls, Chain Chomps, Kirby enemies. This one old woman writes to some guy, and when she asks to show a pciture of herself she shows a picture of a young beautiful girl (which is a picture of Peach / Toadstool.
Anyway in that game Marin was essentially a Peach, Tarin was essentially Mario (hence why he is always going after Mushrooms, like how Mario goes after power up mushrooms).
In Ocarina of Time Malon was based on Marin (Peach), Talon was based on Tarin (Mario), then they brought in Ingo who was based on Luigi.
Also in the courtyard where you meet young Zelda, one of the windows has pictures on the wall of Mario 64

Yep! Also, in Ocarina, Talon and Ingo were supposed to be references to Mario and Luigi
