The Cucco Ranch is a location found in A Link Between Worlds. It is located just south of Kakariko Village, and is operated by the Cucco Girl. The Dodge the Cuccos mini-game can be found here. The main objective of the game is to avoid a rampage of Cuccos that fly towards Link in all directions. All the while, Link is inside a fairly small Cucco Pen, making it harder to avoid the Cuccos.

Games Modes

There are four different game modes available to play in Dodge the Cuccos. The first, called the "Egg" mode, has Link attempting to dodge a flock of Cuccos for 30 seconds. The second is called the "Chick" mode; this mode has Link trying to dodge a larger flock of Cuccos for the same 30 seconds. The penultimate mode, called the "Rooster" mode, has Link avoiding both small and large Cuccos for 30 seconds. The final mode is called the "Endless" mode. In this mode, Link is bambarded with flocks of Cuccos, and they keep coming until Link is hit. The goal is to see how long Link can last.[1]
