In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, players can discover a multitude of side adventures by speaking with Hyrule's residents. Players will encounter a wide variety of characters offering side quests at various stables, settlements, and even out in the wilderness of Hyrule. These quests present opportunities for players to lend a helping hand to those in need and provide a refreshing break from the game’s overarching main story.
To begin the quest "Feathered Fugitives," players should go to the Riverside Stable situated at coordinates (0329, -1085, 0009) on the western coast of the Hylia River. The fastest way to reach this stable is by fast traveling to the Tajikats Shrine at coordinates (0342, -1006, 0016). Upon arriving at the stable, players will notice the usual amenities and a large area containing enclosed animals, including goats and cuccos. Once the player has arrived at the stable, here's everything they'll need to do to start and complete the quest "Feathered Fugitives" in Tears of the Kingdom.
How To Start The Feathered Fugitives Quest
To initiate the "Feathered Fugitives" quest, players must first complete the "Gourmets Gone Missing" side adventure. They can start the quest by talking to Penn, who can be found near a tree northeast of the stable at coordinates (0390, -1045, 0015). This side adventure extensive "Princess Zelda Sightings!" quest series, which rewards players with pieces of the Froggy Armor Set.
After completing the prerequisite quest, players can head back to the Riverside Stable and locate Teli, the quest giver, at coordinates (0368, -1106, 0009). Teli is deeply upset and concerned, explaining that he was simply looking for some eggs. Unfortunately, in his hunger-driven pursuit, he accidentally let all but one of the cuccos escape from the enclosure. Teli asks Link to track down the escaped cuccos and bring them back to the pen, mentioning that they shouldn't have strayed too far.
Locations Of Cuccos For The Feathered Fugitives Quest
In order to complete the "Feathered Fugitives" quest, Link needs to find and return the missing cuccos to the pen where they met Teli. Link should approach each cucco, which will thankfully not run, and he can interact with it to pick it up. Then he just needs to run it back to the pen and drop it inside the enclosure. The five missing cuccos can be found at the following locations:
Cucco #1 Location
Link can find a cucco located on the left side of the stable, close to the water surrounding the pens and where the dog hangs out. The coordinates of this cucco are (0351, -1072, 0009).
Cucco #2 Location
Link can find another cucco inside the stable, near the back wall where Beedle occasionally sets up shop. This cucco is located at coordinates (0341, -1101, 0010).
Cucco #3 Location
Link can locate a third cucco on top of the horse's head at the highest point of the stable. Link needs to use Ascend from inside the stable to reach the top of the horse statue. This cucco is at coordinates (0333, -1089, 0036).
Cucco #4 Location
The fourth cucco is located on the right side of the stable, up in a tree behind stacked planks of wood. The coordinates for this location are (0319, -1126, 0017).
Cucco #5 Location
The final cucco is the trickiest to nab, as it’s sitting on a small rock island in the nearby river. Link won't be able to carry the cucco through the deeper water, so he'll need to create a path to successfully return to the pen with the cucco. To make a bridge across the water, Link can use a plank from the pile near the previous location. Alternatively, he can freeze the water by using an Ice Fruit, then ride the resulting ice block to reach the shore. The rock can be found at coordinates (0382, -1147, 0010).
Once Link has located all five cuccos and returned them to the pen, he can speak with Teli again, who will reward him with 100 Rupees.
