Cuccos, also known as Chickens, are animals that appear in many The Legend of Zelda games, starting with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. They are very similar to normal domesticated chickens except they are native to Hyrule.[1] Cuccos make the sounds of a rooster and often appear in grassy areas such villages and ranches.

In most games, if Link attacks a Cucco a number of times, several more Cuccos appears. Altogether the Cucco chase after Link endlessly, attempting to damage him until he loses all of his health. If Cuccos are in large groups, they cannot be defeated, and Link can only avoid them by leaving the area. In certain games, this can even occur indoors.

Appearances

The Legend of Zelda series

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Chickens appear in the Light World, particularly round Kakariko Village. In one house, sprinkling Magic Powder on a Chicken will turn it into a woman, who will chide Link for bullying Chickens before wishing she were one again. In the Dark World, Chickens have a skeletal appearance, but act the same.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link can pick up a Cucco and carry it around. By doing so, the Cucco quickly flaps its wings, trying to escape. Link can also jump off a ledge while holding the Cucco, allowing him to glide across. In Lon Lon Ranch while Link is a child, Talon operates a minigame in his house involving finding three Super Cuccos in a group of normal Cuccos. a woman in Kakariko Village also farms Cuccos, but is allergic to them, so she asks Link to round them up, giving him an Empty Bottle if he succeeds. There are two items relating to Cucco; one is the Pocket Egg, which hatches into a Pocket Cucco, and Link must use to awaken Talon at Hyrule Castle. The other is Cojiro, the third item of the trading sequence.
