Ever since A Link to the Past, Cuccos, the chickens of the Zelda series, have made their true strength known. When Link attacks them, they band together to stand up for their otherwise overwhelmed comrade. Their revenge squad adds a new meaning to the phrase “birds of a feather flock together”. In Breath of the Wild, their power increased so that they were able to strike back at any enemy that hit them.

Now, what would happen if Hyrule, or even Ganon, harnessed the true power of this feathered flock of fighters? If Hyrule created an army of Cuccos, Ganon might not even be able to conquer it. Perhaps the Royal Family would even grow power hungry and create an empire with their seemingly invincible military force. On the other hand, if Ganon made the decision to recruit Cuccos after seeing how powerfully vengeful they could be, Hyrule might fall faster than it ever had before. From a gameplay standpoint, Link would probably have to get creative or find some special item to deal with them, unless he decided to turn tail and run.

So, what do you think? What would happen if Hyrule enlisted Cuccos in their army? What would happen if Ganon recruited him to his forces? Leave your thoughts and opinions in the comments below!
