IShowSpeed and other streamers just got wrecked by a specific Ocarina of Time remake mechanic involving Cuccos. Hit one chicken five times, it screams for backup, and suddenly you are being pecked to death by a whole flock until you find shelter or pass out in a pile of feathers. This isn't new news since the retaliation date back to A Link to the Past and they have shown up in almost every mainline Zelda title ever made. Old school gamers already know this lesson well, but watching new players discover it feels like introducing someone to Star Wars without any spoilers. #IShowSpeed

Players new to the Ocarina of Time are learning an old lesson the hard way. Don't fuck up with the cuckoos. Old school gamers know, attack a cuckoo five times and it calls for help. Summoning a storm of cuckoos that rain down on Link until you take shelter in a building or collapse in a pile of green tunic and feathers. Turns out, several players are learning this in front of a live audience, including popular streamers like iShowSpeed. As an old head myself, it's been fun to see people discover this game for the first time, like introducing a new child to Star Wars without spoilers. Now, this isn't a new mechanic for the franchise. Cuckoos have been fighting back since A Link to the Past, and they've appeared in almost every mainline Zelda game since. Link can control the weather with a song, change day to night, fight back the forces of evil, but hell hath no fury like a chicken scorned.
