Template:Character The Cucco Keeper is a character in Link's Awakening.[1]

Biography

The Cucco Keeper lives on top of Tal Tal Heights, where he breeds Cuccos. He is the one who tells Link about the Flying Roosters.[2] After Link completes the Eagle's Tower, the Flying Rooster makes its new home in the Cucco Keeper's Hen House where it gives him some flights.[3]

It is likely that the Cucco Keeper intentionally resembles Luigi as one of the many references to the Super Mario Bros. games in Link's Awakening.[4]
