The driving force behind Nintendo wanting to remake The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is to give new fans, some who weren’t even born when the original was released, a modernized version of the game that they’re more likely to fall in love with. As some of those new fans have quickly discovered, that also means learning tougher lessons older fans had to learn 28 years ago.

As much as the way we play games may have changed since the launch of the original Ocarina, there are some things that remain the same. One of those things is that you put a gamer into a virtual space with some hapless chickens, or cuccos since this is Zelda, those chickens are going to get messed with.

We finally got a chance to play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and it's still one of the best games ever made.

Cuccos are a staple of the Zelda series, and you encounter them frequently in Ocarina of Time. Veterans know not to attack them, learning the hard way 28 years ago that doing so means they’ll attack you right back. Turns out that detail has been retained for the remake, and streamer IShowSpeed found out about the legendary detail the hard way.

Less than two hours into a livestream of his Ocarina remake playthrough, Speed’s chat coaxed him into attacking a cucco. Upon being struck with Link’s sword, the cucco crows and summons all of its friends, which rain down from the sky, chipping away at your health, just like they did in Ocarina on the N64.
