Talon is an Archetype of Winged Beast/EARTH monsters with various Levels. They focus on Link Summoning and always having a monster Special Summoned, which they do by refreshing their Link Monsters Special Summon status by returning it to the Extra Deck and Special Summoning back their monsters in the GY, which you can then use during your next turn for a Link Summon. Each monster can be Special Summoned if the only monsters you control were monsters that were Special Summoned this turn, though you can't use it as a material for other than Talon Link Monsters. They are based on birds, and Talon is a word for the claw of a bird, the reason for them being EARTH is that they are meant to be regular birds, rather than fantasy-like.

Here are some things I love about this concept:
1. It can spam Links, but its restrictions don't allow for Firewall Dragon loop shenanigans, or similar BS.
2. The monsters alone make this deck very consistent considering their summoning effects, making it to the point that bricking is minimal in this deck.
3. It seems like a deck that could be run pure, and have no problems at all, something that is very rare in the current age of Yugioh. Sure you can play hand-traps and other things as back-up, but it may very well be fine without them.
I really have nothing bad to say about this concept, rather some suggestions to make this even better:
1. Condor seems a little too broken. You can easily summon it first turn by using two Talons to summon Falcon, then using Breaking Point to pop Falcon to summon two more Talons from Deck, then activate Riseup to revive the Falcon, summon back the materials you used for Falcon, and then Link for Condor so that it has two linked Talons, and therefore becomes a Towers-esque boss monster that's immune to everything (except Kaijus, Sphere Mode, etc.). While this is a four-card combo (two Talons, Breaking Point, and Riseup), it doesn't seem all that improbable since you'd most likely max out on almost all of the Talons, and the Spells (which are also searchable). I'd suggest you make it so that Condor needs at least 3 Talon monsters with different names, including one Talon Link Monster to slightly alleviate this.
2. I do believe a Counter Trap for this deck would be nice. Maybe something like this?
Talon Takeover
Counter Trap Card
If a card or effect would activate while you control a Talon Link Monster: You can banish 2 Talon cards from your field or GY; negate the activation, and if you do, banish that card. You can only activate 1 Talon Takeover per turn.
3. This one's a smaller suggestion, but for Talon Eggnest, maybe make it so that the Token cannot be targeted for attacks if you control a face-up Talon Link Monster, to mirror how birds protect their nests.
Overall, this deck is very reminiscent of Blackwings, in Link form. If this was real, I would jump onto this deck in a heartbeat. Excellent job!
