Biography
The Flying Rooster helps Link acquire the Bird Key which opens the entrance to the Eagle's Tower and then helps him get to the actual level itself. By playing the "Frog's Song of Soul" that Link learned from Mamu in the Signpost Maze, underneath the Weathercock where the Flying Rooster rests in Mabe Village, the Flying Rooster can be resurrected. While a normal Cucco in this game will do nothing special when lifted, the Flying Rooster will allow Link to fly over bottomless pits much like Roc's Feather. Unlike the feather, Link does not fall down until he throws the rooster. The Flying Rooster will follow Link around everywhere on the overworld map, but will not follow him into dungeons. The Flying Rooster can also be used to get one of the optional 26 Secret Seashells near Kanalet Castle.

Once Link has completed Eagle's Tower, the Flying Rooster will leave and make its new home in the Hen House of the mountain range, and will be owned by the Cucco Keeper who lives there. The Flying Rooster is seen giving the man some flights in his house, and Link will no longer be able to use it.
