Cuccos on the Loose Walkthrough in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent navigating the mystical lands of Hyrule, I must say that the return of those feathery troublemakers, the Cuccos, in “Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom” brings back fond memories. The quest to corral these flighty birds, “Cuccos on the Loose,” may seem simple at first glance, but it’s a journey that takes you through the heart of Kakariko Village.

In the lore of both within and beyond the Legend of Zelda series, Cuccos have gained an infamous reputation. It’s not unexpected that they’ve resurfaced in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Following your journey through the first dungeon, you might accidentally encounter Kakariko Village. Here, outside their enclosure, Cuccos can be found roaming freely. Delve deeper into the village and interact with their owner to kick off a side mission titled “Cuccos Amok.” It’s a straightforward task offering a valuable reward, so here’s where to locate all five Cuccos within Echoes of Wisdom.

Where to Find All Cuccos

Cuccos on the Loose Walkthrough in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Kakariko Village is situated to the northeast, nestled beneath the region of Eldin. Once you’ve wrapped up the Suthorn Ruins, feel free to explore this area. However, it might be beneficial to gather some Spirit Orbs before embarking on the side quest. The Crawler Spirit Orb and the Trampoline Spirit Orb will prove particularly useful.

Approach the woman standing near the chicken coop in the western part of Kakariko Village. She’ll ask you to retrieve all five chickens that have wandered away and bring them back home. Luckily, you’ll only find these chickens within Kakariko Village, so there’s no need for you to travel north from here. To pick up a chicken, simply press the A-button, and then either throw it again by pressing the A-button or place it in the pen using the B-button. If Link (or Zelda) is holding a chicken and jumps off a ledge, they can glide for a short distance before landing.

Cucco #1

By the Entrance

Should you approach Kakariko through its eastern entrance, you will encounter a cucco near a house situated behind the elderly resident. Grab it and take it back to its enclosure.

Cucco #2

By the Store

Head southward from Kakariko Village’s main plaza, where the route divides in two. Opt for the path on your right. To locate Kakariko’s general store, simply follow this path, and you’ll find a cucco wandering around it.

Cucco #3

By the Dojo

Heading down the path to the left, past where you found the second chicken (cucco), you’ll notice a pair of structures on your right side – a typical house and a martial arts training hall (dojo). In front of these buildings, near the trees, is your third chicken (cucco).

You can also find a Waypoint stone
. Activate it to unlock a fast-travel to Kakariko Village.

Cucco #4

By the Graveyard

Instead, go to the shops situated north of the plaza, then proceed toward the cemetery with a view over the coop yard. There, you will discover coop #4.

Cucco #5

On the Windmill

Obtaining Cucco #5 can be a bit challenging because it’s situated atop the northeastern windmill, not the northwestern one. To grab it, you’ll need to climb up the trees behind the windmill using your Echoes. You might have gathered some Echoes on your journey to Kakariko, making this task less difficult. Here are a few methods to collect cucco #5:

Use Tables

  1. Place a Table Echo behind the cat, then jump onto the left tree (the big tree).
  2. Jump onto the tree behind the cat/windmill, and then create another Table.
  3. From the second Table, jump towards the corner of the windmill’s roof to reach the cucco.

Crawler Echo and Trampoline Echo

  1. Face the tree, then use Y-button to call forth the Crawler.
  2. Lock onto it with Tri (X-button), and hold down R-button so that it lifts you as it climbs atop the tree.
  3. When you’re on the treetop, use the Trampoline Echo (or Table Echo), and launch yourself onto the windmill’s roof.

The Trampoline Echo can be found in Suthorn Village, right next to the village’s well.

    If you’re having trouble locating all the chickens, don’t worry! Look for the highlighted stars in the following picture, as they indicate the precise spots where the chickens are located.

    After putting the last Cucco inside its enclosure, feel free to chat with the owner to claim your reward for finishing “Cuccos on the Loose.” Your prize will be a Fairy Bottle. Whether you’ve already gathered one during your gameplay or not, keep in mind that if you encounter a fairy while some of your Fairy Bottles are empty, you can catch it. This captured fairy can revive Zelda when she loses all her health/hearts, making fairies and Fairy Bottles quite useful items to have.
