Once The Legend of Zelda: TotK players find their way to the quaint village of Kakariko in the southeastern section of Hyrule, they can complete some side quests to help fill the shops with produce. By speaking to an NPC named Trissa at the High Spirits Store at the southern exit/entrance of the village, they can start the Codgers' Quarrel Side Quest, which then leads to another quest called Follow the Cuccos. This guide will show players how to specifically complete the Cucco quest so the shop can restock its eggs.

Starting the Follow the Cuccos Quest in TotK

After players complete Trissa's Codgers' Quarrel quest, they can speak to her once again to start the Follow the Cuccos quest. Essentially, Bird eggs are still in short supply around Kakariko Village, so Trissa wants Link to find where the Cuccos are laying their eggs. Trissa tried to follow the iconic (and deadly) Zelda chickens but was unfortunately too slow to keep up --that's where Link comes in. Players must find and collect ten eggs and bring them back to Trissa.

'Follow the Cuccos' Cave Location

After leaving the general store, players should sleep in a bed or use fire to pass the time until the morning. Once morning rolls around, players can head to the east side of the village to see the Cuccos come together --follow them carefully to reach a cave embedded into the side of a mountain, which is called Cucco Hideaway. If players get too close to the birds, they will run away. However, players can just head to the cave itself without the Cucco's help if they wish to do so.

The coordinates for the cave are 1877, -1143, 0195. Its location is marked on the map above.

Walk into the cave and collect at least ten eggs for Trissa.

Players can leave after doing so, but if players have a Bomb Flower or a weapon fused with a rock/boulder, they can smash the breakable rocks to find another section of the cave home to a Bubbulfrog. Defeat it to earn a Bubbul Gem, which can be turned in to Koltin's shop in exchange for a random monster part or armor piece.

Rewards for Completing Follow the Cuccos

Once the Bird Eggs are taken to Trissa, she will give Link 50 Rupees, and Bird Eggs will be available in the shop for 12 Rupees each. Eggs can be used in a cooking pot to create dishes like omelets and crepes.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
