Cucco Gliding

Cucco gliding originated in Link's Awakening. It's mechanics are fairly simple: have Link grab a Cucco, run off a ledge, and you will glide safely to the ground with the Cucco squirming and frantically flapping its wings (as Link holds it above his head) so as to get free.

Cucco gliding was used primarily to gain access to Eagle's Tower by helping Link aquire the Bird Key. It appears to have returned in Twilight Princess, in Falbi's Flight by Fowl
