Page 30.</ref> or simply '''Cucco'''<ref>McBride, Debra, and David Cassady. ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons'' and ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 34.</ref>, is a variant of [[Cucco]] that first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' and later ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]''. They have the ability to fly and carry a person with them, and there are instances where [[Link]] must use them to get across a pit.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', there is a blue-colored Cucco named [[Cojiro]]. It is the first game where Link can pick up normal Cuccos and hover while holding them, just as he can for Flying Roosters.

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''===
[[File:Flying Rooster LADX screenshot.png|thumb|left|Link uses the Flying Rooster to reach the Bird Key in ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX'']]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', there is one Flying Rooster. Its fossil remains are located in an underground area beneath the [[weathervane]] of [[Mabe Village]]. According to [[Old Man Ulrira]], the Flying Rooster used to take the Mabe Village residents for a ride if they carried it above their head. If Link has learned to play the [[Frog's Song of Soul]] on his [[Ocarina]], he can play it next to the Flying Rooster's fossil to revive it. After doing so, the Flying Rooster follows Link around the [[overworld]], although it does not follow him into [[dungeon]]s. Link can only fly a short distance with the Flying Rooster, although if the [[Power Bracelet]] is equipped, Link can fly with it until letting go.

Link is required to make use of the Flying Rooster's flight ability to reach the [[Bird Key]] in a cave of [[Tal Tal Mountain Range]]. There he must make use of the Flying Roster's flying ability to get across the pits. Link can optionally use the Flying Rooster to reach a [[Secret Seashell]] near [[Kanalet Castle]]. After Link completes [[Eagle's Tower]], the Flying Rooster finds a new home in the [[Henhouse|Hen House]]. The [[Henhouse Keeper|keeper]] living there is thrilled to have the Flying Rooster. Earlier on, the keeper even tells Link that [[Cucco|chicken]]s once had the ability to fly.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]'', the Flying Rooster is blue. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], the Flying Rooster was redesigned to have traits similar to other birds, such as the eyes a pigeon, the beak of a toucan, and the tip of its wings being light green.

===''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons''===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'', a few Flying Cuccos are located on [[Mt. Cucco]]. Unlike their debut appearance, Flying Cuccos do not follow Link. Holding on to a Flying Cucco allows Link to hover across the chasms of Mt. Cucco. A Flying Cucco is also required to reach the [[Spring Banana]].
