Switch 2 Ocarina of Time Remake Keeps Kakariko Cucco Quest

Player-facing guides now map every bird and explain the movement tricks that let players retrieve them for an Empty Bottle.

Overview

  • Multiple guides from gameplay outlets corroborate that the remake preserves the Kakariko Village Cucco side quest and identifies seven cucco locations across the village.
  • The guides detail specific mechanics to reach hidden birds, including holding a cucco to glide to higher ledges, tossing a held cucco over fences to access fenced areas, and breaking a crate to reveal a hidden cucco.
  • Returning all seven cuccos to the Cucco Lady awards an Empty Bottle, and using the hilltop cucco behind the windmill lets players reach a roofed area where an NPC can grant a Piece of Heart.
  • Cuccos respawn after leaving and re-entering Kakariko Village, making the task repeatable for small rewards and allowing players to collect them in any order.
  • The quick, detailed walkthroughs show the remake’s fidelity to the original optional content and give new and returning players clear, practical steps to secure early inventory and health benefits.
