'''Mt. Cucco''' is a mountain range situated in northeastern [[Holodrum]] in {{OoS}}. It is the location of the fourth [[Dungeon]] of the game, the [[Dancing Dragon Dungeon]].

Mt. Cucco is the easternmost of the mountain ranges of northern [[Holodrum]], adjacent to [[Goron Mountain]]. It can either be accessed from Goron Mountain or from a secret underwater passage in [[Sunken City]]. Unlike most of the mountain ranges of Holodrum, Mt. Cucco features a warm summer climate due to the disharmony of the four seasons caused by the sinking of the [[Temple of Seasons]]. This causes large [[snow]]-melts on the mountain which gush down in waterfalls and rivers across Holodrum all the way to [[Spool Swamp]], while also flooding the Sunken City at the foot of the mountain.<ref>{{Cite|With the seasons out of order, the mountain snows melted suddenly, flooding town. I can't even leave the house! It's terrible!|Sunken City Citizen|OoS}}</ref> Mt. Cucco is the source of most of the fresh water in Holodrum.

A [[Portal]] on the mountain opens a way to [[Subrosia]], where Link must obtain the [[Power of Spring]] for his [[Rod of Seasons]] from the Temple of Seasons. This is pivotal in the navigation of the mountain, as it features many Rock Flowers which bloom only in [[Spring]]. [[Blast Bloom]]s also bloom in spring and provide access to higher areas of the mountain, where entrance to the [[Dancing Dragon Dungeon]] is hidden behind a waterfall. By jumping off the cliff close to the nearby [[Tree Stump]], Link ends up atop a smaller cliff where he can find a [[Piece of Heart]]. Also in the higher areas of Mt. Cucco is a cave where Link finds a sleeping [[Talon]], who can be woken with the [[Megaphone]] from the [[Oracle of Seasons Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]]. Talon, before leaving, takes the Megaphone and gives Link a [[Mushroom]], the next item in the trading sequence. A [[Treasure Chest]] containing a [[Magic Ring]] is also found in the cave.  

The lower areas of the mountain are inhabited by [[Tektite]]s, whereas the higher levels are inhabited by more dangerous monsters: [[Like Like]]s and [[Moblin]]s. In the lower area, Link can find two [[Deku Scrub]]s who will give Link advice on how to reach the Dancing Dragon Dungeon.<ref>{{Cite|I surrender! In return, I offer my advice!

It's much nicer around here since that eye-sore of a bear left. I can now do business in peace! Now then... Buy something! A Shield for 100 Rupees?|Deku Scrub|OoS}}</ref>

Mt. Cucco is likely named after the two friendly [[Blue Cucco]]s found there who will help Link on his adventure. The first flies Link to a tree atop a high cliff where the [[Spring Bananas]] grow in spring. Link can give the bananas to Moosh, whom he will meet on the mountain.<ref>{{Cite|You brought me a Spring Banana! Is it for me? I happily accept!|Moosh|OoS}}</ref> With the help of Moosh and his flying abilities, Link can obtain the [[Dragon Key]] surrounded by pitfalls located nearby on Goron Mountain. By climbing to the top of the westernmost peak of Mt. Cucco (reached via a cave accessible only in [[Winter]]), Link can use a second Blue Cucco to reach the peak above the waterfall. Here, he can use the Dragon Key to stop the flow of the waterfall, revealing the entrance to the Dancing Dragon Dungeon dug into the cliff.
