Anju



Anju is a young woman who is most often depicted as a cucco keeper. She has appeared in three games, but her most significant role is in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, the only game where she is not the cucco keeper.

Ocarina of Time
In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Anju can be found in Kakariko Village watching over the cuccos. When you first meet her, the cuccos will be running around all over the village, and it is your job to round them up and bring them back to their pin. Ironically, Anju is allergic to cuccos, so she cannot do it herself. For your help, she will reward you with an empty bottle.

Majora's Mask
In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Anju is the inn keeper at the Stock Pot Inn. Anju is one of twenty characters in the game with an entry in the Bombers' Notebook, and nearly all of her entries are related to the "reuniting Kafei and Anju" sidequest which she plays a key role in.

Because of her involvement in the largest sidequest in the game, Anju is one of the most developed non-playable characters in the game. If you hang out around the Stock Pot Inn for an entire three day cycle you can quickly learn a lot about Anju.

The Room Key
Anju is known to easily forget things. You can take advantage of this and make her believe you have a reservation at the inn. Pay attention to what goes on in East Clock Town on the first day. You will notice a Goron who enters Stock Pot Inn. If you enter the inn before the Goron and claim to have a reservation (it must be the first time you speak to Anju in that three day cycle) then Anju will give you the room key.

The room key will allow you to enter the Knife Chamber inside of the Stock Pot Inn.

The Letter to Kafei
As a part of the sidequest, Anju will write a letter to Kafei. She will give it to you at a meeting that takes place at 11:30pm on the first day. If you deliver her letter to a postbox, then you will have the opportunity to meet Kafei on the second day. If you do not, then you will be unable to complete the sidequest in the same three day cycle.

The Minish Cap
Quote from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap "Anju" figurine:

"This young woman tends to her cuccos in Hyrule Town. If you help her gather her loose cuccos, she’ll give you a reward." You must go and collect her cuccos in a certain time limit. If you do, she will give you Rupees and Mysterious Shells. The next time you talk to her, either heighten the number of cuccos needed, or time limit will change (or both!). If you find all her cuccos, she will give you a Heart Piece,
