After finding all six of them, if you throw even one Cucco out of the pen, the lady will scold you for it. There's a lady in Kakariko Village who needs help with finding her Cuccos.He yells at you, and if you lose it he makes you pay 50 rupees for it. You can use the fishing pole to snag the fisherman's hat.If this sidequest isn't taken care of immediately, the baby Cucco will most likely be killed, which will anger the mother, and you'll be swimming in angry chickens.
Certain missions spawn a mother Cucco and a baby Cucco, which is in trouble and must be rescued. A number of levels also start off with a Cucco following you around, meaning that it's almost inevitable you'll hit it enough to piss it off sooner or later. This is taken Up to Eleven in Hyrule Warriors, as the Cucco will multiply like crazy, swarming the entire level until everyone is practically drowning in them and they will not stop until you defeat the powerful Golden Cucco that eventually appears. Or pigs or goats ( Wind Waker/ Twlilight Princess), for that matter. Word to the wise: do not attack the chickens in most Zelda games.If you smash it with your hookshot, or arrows (light arrows are especially fun to use when doing this), and then go and speak to her, she'll fine you. And then there's the woman on Outset Island, who's constantly carrying around a pot on her head.If you attack your sensei, he gets annoyed, and eventually knocks you across the room.There's a store owner who will fine you for breaking his pots.Even worse, young Link can be a little sneaky with his underwater diving and decide to sneak a peek at the unsuspecting mermaid which, in return, results in her calling you a pervert and swimming to a different spot. In the Japanese version and in most European localizations, she lost her bra. Well, at least in the American English version and a few European localizations (the English one for example), that is. There is a mermaid who lost her necklace in the game.
( And try slashing a chicken over and over occasionally she approves!) On the other hand, she loves it when you dig with the shovel. She calls you a bad boy for breaking pots and feels sorry for chickens when you slash them.
In ToeJam & Earl, if both players are on the same screen and one opens the Total Bummer present, the character controlled by the other player will say, "Thanks a lot.".Destroy the turrets, and eventually an instant-kill turret will come down. If you keep it up, they'll pull defense turrets on you. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, if you attack the Galactic Federation troopers, they'll ask you to cut it out.Smacking Tricky with your staff in Star Fox Adventures will cause him to tell you to cut it out, and repeated abuse will cause him to try to incinerate you with his flamethrower ability.Rucks: Okay, now that's just plain overkill.
