Link was always fond cuccos. Whenever he went to Lon Lon Ranch, the majority of time was spent either with his redheaded friend Malon and Epona or chasing cuccos.
On this particular day, Link felt the desire to mess around with the cuccos. The young child had a fascination with the chickens when he came to the ranch. Walking onto horse track, the young boy picked up one of the chickens and began to run around. Malon giggled as she watched the blonde make a fool of himself. She always had wondered where his desire to play with the cuccos came from.
He was so cute sometimes, she thought. She always needed to keep an eye on him however. Malon knew he liked to torture her poor cuccos sometimes. Today seemed no different. She just leaned against the barn and watched him.
Link knew his redheaded friend was always watching him. He was still playful when he messed around with the cuccos though. Though a dark side of him did enjoy being a little cruel to them.
Drawing his kokiri sword, the young boy began to poke curiously at the small bird. As he poked, the cucco trotted away. He was still dying to continue poking the bird however. Chasing the bird, Link poked at it again with his blade. The cucco squawked and scooted away again.
By now Malon was rolling her eyes. "Leave the cuccos alone Link!" She said as she walked closer. Link didn't pay any attention to his friend as he continued to focus on the cucco. Poking at it again, the cucco crowed as Link's blade gently stabbed against its flesh.
Cuccos in the general area began to go berserk. As they began to fly toward Link, he began to run. He had never angered the birds like this before. Link grabbed his cap as he was being attacked. Thankfully he was nearing the barn. After a few more steps, he was opening the door and standing next to Malon.
"I told you to stop Link!" Looking at her shocked, the young boy nodded. He was covered in white feathers. "You goofy fairy boy." She giggled as she brushed some feathers off of him "I hope you learned your lesson. You don't mess with cuccos." Link smiled warmly as he nodded.
After some time had passed, Link decided to look outside. As he looked outside, the blonde had his head pecked at by one of the crazed cuccos. Quickly, he closed the door and looked at her wide-eyed. "Well it seems like we're stuck in here." Malon sighed "Why don't you play that song Epona loves while we wait for the cuccos to calm down." Link nodded and put his fairy ocarina to his lips and began to play the song that his favorite horse loved. As he played, the redhead began to hum along with him.
