Actual Creator Quote to show connection:

Toru Osawa (Script Director) on Ocarina of Time: "Tarin and Marin, a father and girl who appeared in "Link's Awakening" (GB) were used as the base for a different parent and child who comes out in this game [OoT]. These are the things that when they are seen by a person who has played Zelda before they will understand. If people begin to think "Do you think that this could be that thing from then?" then I will be happy."

So it's clear that, if nothing else, Malon and Talon were inspired by LA Marin and Tarin.
