In Ocarina of Time, the Cucco Lady can be found in Kakariko Village watching over the cuccos. When young Link first meets her, the cuccos will be running around all over the village, and it is his job to round them up and bring them back to their pen. Ironically, Anju is allergic to cuccos, so she cannot do it herself.[1] For Link's help, she will reward him with an empty bottle.[2]

When Link returns to Kakariko Village as an adult, he may speak to Anju to begin the Biggoron's Sword quest. She will tell him that she bred a special new breed of Cucco that does not give her an allergic reaction.[3] She gives him an egg which he must carry until it hatches (similar to the one Malon gave him as a child). After the egg hatches, Link must give the new Cucco to Anju. She will then give Link her brother Grog's blue Cucco.

She is confirmed to be the daughter of Mutoh, at least in this game. This is confirmed by the fact the man who leaves the Poacher's Saw in the Lost Woods is verbally confirmed to be Mutoh's son, and that Anju calls Grog her brother.[4]

She is also sometimes called Anju, although the other characters in Ocarina of Time refer to her as the "Chicken Lady". As these "chickens'" proper name is Cuccos, she is called the "Cucco Lady" by fans.
