Weathercocks are recurring objects in the Legend of Zelda series. They are large weather vanes.
Appearances[]
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past[]
The Weathercock is located in Kakariko Village. Although the Weathercock seems to be an inanimate object, there are subtle hints to it being alive. When Link sprinkles a Cucco in Kakariko with Magic Powder, it morphs into a Hylian and tells the hero that the Weathercock is always watching him harass the Cuccos in the village.
If Link plays the Flute while near the Weathercock, it shatters, revealing the Duck, which can subsequently transport Link to certain key points around Hyrule while in the Light World.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening[]
The Weathercock is found in Mabe Village. When Link has obtained the L-2 Power Bracelet, he can move the statue, revealing a passageway. Underneath the statue, Link finds the remains of the Flying Rooster. Link can play the "Frog's Song of Soul" on his Ocarina to restore life to the legendary bird.
