{{Term/Store|Mt. Cucco||Series, OoS}} is a mountain range situated in northeastern [[Holodrum]] in {{OoS}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 251}}</ref> 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!|N/A|OoS}}</ref> Mt. Cucco is the source of most of the fresh water in Holodrum.

 

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! Even if you have a key, you still need a keyhole! Foolish brother! The keyhole is on the summit!|Deku Scrub|OoS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|I surrender! In return, I offer my advice! Even if you have a keyhole, you still need a key. Moronic brother! The key is in the valley in the west.|Deku Scrub|OoS}}</ref> After Link meets [[Moosh]] in the upper area, another Deku Scrub will appear selling a [[Shield]] for 50 [[Rupee]]s.<ref>{{Cite|Greetings! 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 50 Rupees?|Deku Scrub|OoS}}</ref>

 

Mt. Cucco is likely named after the two friendly [[Flying Cucco]]s found there who will help Link on his adventure. The first flies Link to a tree atop a high cliff where the {{Term|OoS|Spring Banana Tree|link}} will produce a {{Term|OoS|Spring Banana|link}} during the {{Term|OoS|Spring|link}}. 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 Flying Cucco to reach the peak above the waterfall. Here, he can insert the Dragon Key into the {{Term|OoS|Dragon Key Keyhole|link}} to stop the flow of the waterfall, revealing the entrance to the Dancing Dragon Dungeon dug into the cliff.
