Discover the Cucco locations in Kakariko Village in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The guide lists Kakariko cucco locations in Ocarina of Time, explains tricky glides, and notes post-Empty Bottle spawns for collecting all seven.
Zelda Ocarina of Time Players Can Find Seven Cuccos in Kakariko Village Across 12 Listed Locations
Background: The Empty Bottle and the seven-cucco goal
In Zelda Ocarina of Time, Kakariko Village contains seven cuccos, which are chickens in the Zelda-verse. The Cucco Lady rewards the player with an Empty Bottle when all seven are found. The collected cuccos should be put in the pen, except that one must be kept for a later location. After the Empty Bottle is received, the cuccos escape again, and each recovered cucco gives 20 Rupees.
Development process: the first seven cuccos across the village
The earliest searches are close to the pen and the village entrance. Cucco location one is inside the building site opposite the cucco pen. Cucco location two is at the entrance to Kakariko Village, where it searches for worms. Cucco location three is near the entrance to Death Mountain Trail, reached by taking the walkway toward the northern section of the village. Cucco location four is inside a crate at the bottom of the walkway leading to the higher houses in northern Kakariko Village; the crate must be rolled into.
The next spot requires a cucco as a tool. Cucco location five sits on the pile of bricks east of the cucco pen, close to the House of Skulltula. To reach it, hold a cucco above the head, climb the steps to Impa's house, the building by the cucco pen, then use the break in the fence to glide down onto the bricks. It may take a couple of attempts. After reaching the bricks, toss both cuccos off them, return one to the pen, and go back for the other because it is needed for the next sequence.
Cucco locations six and seven are described as arguably the hardest to find. Cucco location six is on the other side of the tall fence north of the well and windmill. To reach it, grab a cucco, climb the steps to the windmill, jump onto the fence while holding the cucco, line up with the small gap in the fence opposite, and glide forward using the cucco. Once on the other side, go up the nearby stairs and throw the held cucco over the fence. Then retrieve the cucco running around the lower area near the hole and throw that one over the fence too, but do not cross the fence yourself.
Cucco location seven is on the left-hand side of the hill next to the windmill. From the other side of the high fence north of the windmill, use a ladder to reach another ladder that leads to the cucco. Grab it and glide down to the area beyond the fence, the side with the well, before putting it in the pen. Then go back for the two cuccos thrown over the fence; they should be around the well. After that, talking to the Cucco Lady gives the Empty Bottle.
Latest progress: post-Empty Bottle spawns and the current collection stage
Five further locations are listed as extra possibilities if a cucco cannot be found in the earlier spots, and they are noted as appearing only after earning the Empty Bottle. Cucco location eight is on the other side of the high northern fence, in the small raised garden by the fence near the watch tower, basically at the bottom of the house containing Granny's Potion Shop during the Adult timeline. Cucco location nine is on the small roof leaning across the northern steps in the area beyond the high fence; this roof has rocks on it and can be reached by climbing the northern stairs. Cucco location 10 can spawn on the right-hand side of the hill next to the windmill, reached by climbing the ladders used for the left-side windmill cucco and then running behind the windmill. Cucco location 11 may appear near the cow pen next to Impa's House, the building above the cucco pen itself, on the right-hand side of the house and before the cow pen fence. Cucco location 12 can appear on the right-hand side of the House of Skulltula, in the grass near the stairs leading up to the windmill.
The collection timeline moves from simple nearby checks, to a brick-pile glide that uses a cucco, to a harder fence-and-windmill sequence, and then to the post-Empty Bottle spawn list. The key facts remain seven cuccos for the Empty Bottle, 20 Rupees for each found cucco after the bottle, and 12 location entries for tracking all listed spots.
