Talon's Chicken Game is a Mini-Game in Ocarina of Time.[1]
Location and Rule[]
When Link visits Lon Lon Ranch in child form and talks to Talon inside his house, the minigame can be started. The objective of the game is to find three "Super Cuccos" (the three clucking Cuccos Talon always has close to him) which have been hidden with a group of normal Cuccos.[2]
Although the mini-game seems simple, there is no discernible difference between a normal Cucco and a Super Cucco. Instead of randomly picking up Cuccos, Link can "cheat" by throwing the group of normal Cuccos behind Talon's desk before starting the challenge. Thus, once Talon throws the Super Cuccos, there won't be any regular Cuccos to confuse the hero.
If Link wins, Talon jokingly asks the young hero if he wants to marry his daughter Malon.[3] Talon will then grant a Bottle full of Lon Lon Milk. The minigame can subsequently be replayed to fill an empty bottle with milk, costing 1/3 of the Rupees than required to outright buy a refill.
Trivia[]
- The act of Talon asking Link to marry Malon upon completing this mini-game has become a popular meme among the series' fanbase, especially among ones who believed the Hero of Time is in a love triangle with not only Malon herself, but Princess Zelda, Saria, and Princess Ruto as well.
