Flute Boy's Bird

The is a duck who belonged to the Flute Boy in A Link to the Past. The bird can be summoned by the Flute Boy's Flute find in the Haunted Grove.

When Link plays the Flute, nearby the Weathercock in the centre of Kakariko Village, the Flute Boy's bird appears from inside the statue. If Link plays the flute again, the duck appears and swoop to transport Link to any of 8 different locations in the Light World.

The use of the pet bird and the flute greatly cuts walking time between the regions of Hyrule.

Interestingly, even though the Flute Boy's bird cannot normally be summoned in the Dark World, Link summons it to take him to the Pyramid of Power upon the defeat of Agahnim at the Tower of Gannon.
