{{Quote|{{Dump|LTTPGBA|427}}|[[Q. Bumpkin]]}}
"Cucco" is the answer to [[Q. Bumpkin]]'s first riddle in his [[Riddle Quest]], and Link must catch one with the [[Bug-Catching Net]] and bring one to him in his [[basket]] to answer it.
Doing so will lead Bumpkin to send a [[Wooden Carvings|Wooden Carving]] of a cucco to [[Link's House]]. Sprinking magic powder on it will sequentially make it sparkle, turn it into a colour version, and turn it into a [[Bone Cucco]].

===''Ocarina of Time''===
==''Ocarina of Time''==
[[File:Large Cucco.png|left]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Cuccos can be used to float gently down to certain places. They are used to obtain many [[Piece of Heart|Heart Pieces]] and even a [[Bottle]]. However, if hit by the sword one too many times, the Cucco will "cockadoodledoo" and a massive swarm of aggressive Cuccos appear. They continuously attack Link and cannot be defeated. The best way to escape is to quickly enter a building.

The [[Cucco Lady]] in [[Kakariko Village]] takes care of many Cuccos. When they escape, she asks Link to gather them all back up for her in a pen.{{Ref|OoT|1526|Cucco Lady}} Once Link returns them, she explains that she is allergic to them and then gives him a Bottle.{{Ref|OoT|1531|Cucco Lady}}

In addition, a Cucco is used to awaken [[Talon]] so that Link can enter [[Hyrule Castle]]. After that, Talon can be found at [[Lon Lon Ranch]] where he allows Link to search for "Super Cuccos" for 10 [[Rupee]]s.{{Ref|OoT|1119|Talon}} If Link finds them all, Talon gives him a bottle filled with [[Lon Lon Milk]].

===''Majora's Mask''===
==''Majora's Mask''==
Cuccos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' are identical to the ones in ''Ocarina of Time''. They appear in the [[Cucco Shack]] of [[Romani Ranch]], where [[Grog]] watches over them. When Link first arrives, they are still tiny chicks, and Grog is disappointed that he will not see them full grown.{{Ref|MM|5654|Grog}} By marching around with the [[Bremen Mask]] the chicks will follow Link and turn into full grown Cuccos. Grog thanks him with the [[Bunny Hood]].{{Ref|MM|5656|Grog}}

The Cucco Wranglers is also a mini-game found in this game in [[Tingle's Tower]]. Like in ''Ocarina of Time'', the Links must catch Cuccos and toss them in a pen and the Link to catch the most wins a [[Force Fairy]], given by [[Tingle]].

Cuccos can be used for the same reasons as in ''Ocarina of Time''. In [[Falbi's Flight-by-Fowl]], Link jumps from high above [[Lake Hylia]] while holding a Cucco to gently float down to the [[Isle of Riches]].{{Ref|TP|2494|[[Falbi]]}}{{Ref|TP|2503|Falbi}} [[Rusl]] also gives Link the [[Golden Cucco]] in order to get into the [[Sacred Grove]] as a human.{{Ref|TP|7844|Rusl}}

Due to his [[Wolf Link|wolf form]], Link can speak with any of the Cuccos. The [[Cucco Leader]] in the [[Hidden Village]] allows Link to play a game to search for cats.{{Ref|TP|8208|Cucco Leader}}{{Ref|TP|8209|Cucco Leader}}

Cuccos behave differently than in other games when attacked. Rather than swarming around him, if Link hits a Cucco enough with the sword, he can take control of it for a short while.

The Cuccos of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' are found on a variety of islands in the [[World of the Ocean King]], such as [[Mercay Island|Mercay]] and [[Molida Island|Molida]]. They will support Link's weight if he jumps off a ledge while holding them, which can help him reach [[Treasure Chest]]s. Similar to other games, a swarm of Cuccos for 15 seconds will attack if struck 5 times.

==''A Link Between Worlds''==
Cuccos can be found most often in Kakariko Village. South of Kakariko there is also a mini-game known as [[Cucco Ranch]] that has a goal to avoid Cuccos for 30 seconds or more. The reward on the "Rooster" level is a [[Piece of Heart]]. In addition, there is one [[Treasure Hunter Cave]] that requires Link to use the Cuccos to float gently down on top of a Silver Rupee. [[Lorule]] also has its own version of Cuccos that are darker in color.

{{quote|Villages often raise these birds for their eggs, but some people actually keep them as pets. They can't fly, but can flap their wings mighty furiously if picked up. They're usually calm creatures, but if you're persistent in your torment of them... Well...|[[Hyrule Compendium]] entry}}
 
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', Cuccos are mostly found in Kakariko Village and in some stables across Hyrule. In Kakariko Village, there is a Side Quest called ''[[Flown the Coop]]''. In this side quest, you must help find [[Cado]]'s missing Cuccos. For completing this Side Quest, you are given a Purple Rupee. This quest is one of the 3 prerequisites for ''[[The Stolen Heirloom]]'' Shrine Quest to uncover [[Lakna Rokee Shrine]].

Like most domesticated animals in the game, Cuccos cannot be killed, although throwing them into water seems to make them disappear, which is most likely the closest thing to killing a Cucco in the game.
Cuccos may drop [[Bird Egg]]s when struck, but unlike other birds, they do not drop bird parts. Like most domesticated animals in the game, Cuccos cannot be killed, although throwing them into water seems to make them disappear, which is most likely the closest thing to killing a Cucco in the game. They are also the smallest domesticated animals in the game, being also the only ones of those who freely roam inside towns and settlements.
