The design of the Oocca closely resembles the work of | The design of the Oocca closely resembles the work of a Dutch artist named [[Wikipedia:M. C. Escher|M. C. Escher]]. Most members of the race look identical; apart from the children, who look ''much'' different. It is unknown if there is any differences between the male and females. | ||
Only a few of the Oocca actually talk to Link. | Only a few of the Oocca actually talk to Link. Ooccoo and Ooccoo Jr. both speak [[Hylian Language|Hylian]] to Link, and not their native language of [[Sky Character|Sky Writing]]. However, once Link enters the [[City in the Sky]], he speaks with the [[Oocca Shop]] owner, who at first speaks in the sky language. This language sounds very much like the ''gobble, gobble'' sound made by the real-life [[Wikipedia:Turkey|turkey]]. In fact, Link hears the Oocca talking in this language throughout the city, particularly when he lifts them over his head. It is unknown if they are protesting, encouraging, or whatever else. However, considering they do fly Link from platform to platform, it is safe to assume that they are encouraging the hero. Additionally, many Oocca around the city can be found climbing on walls, which is an interesting ability for this bird-like race. | ||
Another interesting characteristic of the Oocca is their ability to fly. Link can use them to cross gaps, much like [[Cucco]]s are used. This ability is used only within the City in the Sky. | Another interesting characteristic of the Oocca is their ability to fly. Link can use them to cross gaps, much like [[Cucco]]s are used.

* Although [[Shad]] in the North American version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' states that the [[Oocca]] created the [[Hylian]]s,{{Ref|TP|5725|Shad}} this is actually a mistranslation. In the canonical Japanese version, Shad states the Oocca created [[Hyrule]], not the Hylians.{{Ref|name=Quote1}} | * Although [[Shad]] in the North American version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' states that the [[Oocca]] created the [[Hylian]]s,{{Ref|TP|5725|Shad}} this is actually a mistranslation.

* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]'', it says that the [[Oocca]] are based off of the work of an artist named [[Wikipedia:Amedeo Modigliani|Amedeo Modigliani]];{{Ref|pg. 187|Ooccoo's appearance is incredibly unique. Her design resembles the work of artist Amedeo Modigliani.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}} however, this is incorrect. They are actually based off the painting called ''[[Wikipedia:Another World (M. C. Escher)|Another World]]'', which was painted by [[Wikipedia:M. C. Escher|M. C. Escher]]; not Modigliani. | |||
