Cat Hunt

Cat Chat is a minigame found in Twilight Princess. After Link gets rid of the Bulbin population in Hidden Village, talks to Impaz in there and helps Ilia recover her lost memories in Kakariko Village, he can go back to the ruined town to find a vast population of cats. The young hero transforms into Wolf Link to communicate with one of them, and is told to speak to the Cucco (known in there as the Cucco Leader) behind one of the eastern houses. Once he finds the Cucco, he proposes a challenge to the lycantrope: to talk to every single cat living in the village.

From this point, Link (always in [wolf form) must start speaking to every cat he finds, and it seems that they realize the order in which they are found, and they remember whether or not they already spoke to Link (as long as he is still playing with them, of course). Some cats are wandering in the outer land, and others are inside the houses. When Link speaks with the 20th cat, he's told to return to where the Cucco is to be rewarded. The prize is a Piece of Heart, awaiting for its new owner near the entrance to Impaz's house.

If Link leaves the village during the minigame, the cats spoken to will forget about having talked to him, which also means that he will have to start it again. The same thing happens if he howls in front of the Howling Stone located near the Cucco's whereabouts. Also of worthy mention is that the minigame's background theme is the same as that heard when Link fights the Bulbins when he visits the village for the first time.
