Flying Rooster

The Flying Rooster, also known as Flying Cucco,  are recurring characters in.

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 in. By playing the "Frog's Song of Soul" underneath the Weathercock where the Flying Rooster rests in Mabe Village, the Flying Rooster can be resurrected. While a normal Cucco will do nothing when lifted, the Flying Rooster allows Link to fly over pits. The Flying Rooster will follow Link around everywhere on the overworld, 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 Tal Tal 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.

Flying Cuccos can be found at Mt. Cucco in. They can be picked up and used to reach various areas on the mountain, such as the Spring Banana Tree.
