Kakariko Village Cucco Locations - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Guide - IGN

One of the most memorable details of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for many players is the presence of cuccos running amok across Kakariko Village. They’re in boxes, in construction sites, stuck in seemingly inaccessible areas…basically everywhere. It’s all because of this woman Link only knows as the “Cucco Lady,” who has the most unfortunate job of tending to animals that she’s apparently allergic to.

Cuccos are still running wild across Kakariko Village in the Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time, and the Cucco Lady still can’t rescue her birds on her own. Thankfully, Link is a good samaritan, essentially the Hero of Side Quests. You can bring all of these cuccos back to their pen for her, and just like in the original game, your efforts will be rewarded with an Empty Bottle! On this page, we’ll show you exactly where to find all seven cuccos across Kakariko Village so you can earn your Empty Bottle!

There is no specific order you need to find them in, but this is what we did:

The first cucco is close by, in the construction site near the Cucco Lady herself, wandering around the scaffolding in the middle.

The second cucco is near the entrance to Kakariko Village itself, just by the gate.

The third cucco is inside a wooden crate near the center of town, on the side of the building where the lady cooking food for the village resides.

Before returning this cucco to the pen, bring it up to Impa’s house, and use it to glide down to the fourth cucco, which is found on top of the nearby pile of bricks.

The fifth cucco is found on the main path up towards Death Mountain Trail, heading north up the stairs past the tall wooden tower.

The next two cuccos are a bit harder to reach. Take any of the previous cuccos and bring it up to the windmill on the west side of town. Using the cucco you’re already holding, you can glide over this gap in the fence to reach the other side. Once over here, throw the cucco back over the fence so it doesn’t become stuck on this side. One of these Cuccos is on the other side, below the closed Potion House.

While you're here, be sure to look in for an open hole in the ground leading to a Grotto with a Treasure Chest holding 5 Rupees!

After tossing the last two Cuccos over the fence toward the well so you can collect them, climb up the nearby ladder to a hilltop behind the windmill, where you'll find the final Cucco.

When you grab the Cucco on top of the hill behind the Windmill, make sure to leap over to the roof of Granny's Potion Shop (which is sadly closed for the time being). Carefully move to the other side of the blue roof closer to the wooden tower, and you'll find a man lounging on the lower roof section. He'll be so happy someone's come to see him that he'll give you a Piece of Heart!

When you've returned all seven Cuccos to the Cucco Lady, she'll award you a new Empty Bottle to keep, giving you even more room to store milk, potions, and bugs!
