Cuccos can be found in {{Term|ALttP|Kakariko Village|link}} in {{ALttP}}. This game introduced their vengeful "revenge squad" behavior. Cucco-like monsters appear in the [[Dark World]], reacting to attacks with the same movements and sound effects, including the same "revenge squad" behavior.

Cuccos in {{LA}} cannot be lifted or thrown without the aid of the [[Power Bracelet]], and can mainly be found in [[Mabe Village]]. They can be killed using the [[Magic Powder]] or [[Magic Rod]]. This is the only game in which Cuccos can be killed. When Cuccos are killed, the cuccoo revenge squad will disappear and stop attacking. The ability to kill Cuccos is removed in the Switch version of the game.

Cuccos can be found in a variety of places in {{OoT}}, and again attack Link in swarms if struck. As a new feature, Link can grab a Cucco and use it to glide slowly when jumping off a cliff. This technique is known as [[#Cucco Gliding|Cucco Gliding]], and can be used several times throughout the game to earn [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]]. Unlike the [[#Flying Rooster|Flying Rooster]], Cuccos grabbed in this and later games cause Link to slowly glide downward instead of fly upwards.

When Link first encounters [[Malon]] in the [[Market|Town Market]] she tells him of her father who had come to the [[Hyrule Castle|Castle]] to deliver milk but fell asleep whilst doing so.<ref>{{Cite|Are you going to the castle, fairy boy? Would you mind finding my dad? He must have fallen asleep somewhere around the castle. What a thing for an adult to do! Tee hee!|Malon|OoT}}</ref> She offers Link a [[Weird Egg]] that she had been incubating in return for looking for him.<ref>{{Cite|Oh yeah, if you'll look for him, I'll give this to you. I've been incubating this egg very carefully... Tee hee!|Malon|OoT}}</ref> After a day passes, a Cucco will hatch from the egg.<ref>{{Cite|Look! A Cucco hatched from the egg you were incubating!

In {{TFH}}, {{Plural|TFH|Cucco}} appear in the {{Term|TFH|Sky Realm|link}}. They are primarily used for gliding from one platform to another. If one of the {{Plural|TFH|Links|link}} attacks a {{Term|TFH|Cucco}} repeatedly, then instead of calling upon a squad of {{Plural|TFH|Cucco}} to attack him, the {{Term|TFH|Cucco}} will turn orange and behave erratically for a short time while attacking any {{Term|TFH|Links}} that draws near, before becoming docile again.

Cuccos are mostly raised for their [[Bird Egg|Egg]]s, but they are sometimes kept as pets by the people of [[Hyrule]].<ref>{{Cite|Villages often raise these birds for their eggs, but some people actually keep them as pets.|Hyrule Compendium|BotW}}</ref> If Link attempts to hit them with a weapon, they will squawk and attempt to flee, sometimes dropping Bird Eggs when this happens. However, if Link does this four times, a cutscene will play where the Cucco crows for their revenge squad, much like ''Ocarina of Time'', but the Cucco can be seen repeatedly jumping and dropping feathers, and after the cutscene ends, the harassed Cucco will summon a swarm of Cuccos. Cuccos will also swarm and attack a monster if the Cucco is attacked once by that monster. While under attack from this swarm, it is possible for Link to rest at a [[Campfire]] or [[Cooking Pot]]. Doing so will effectively end the attack from the swarm. The swarm will also end if Link goes inside a building. The Cucco who crowed for the revenge squad will not move at all until the swarm ends, instead repeatedly doing the same animation of crowing for the revenge squad, as if crowing for more of their revenge squad.
