Easter egg found in Hyrule Warriors DLC

There's a nice surprise in the Boss Pack.
Jonas Mäki Editor Sweden 28 February 2015

It was barely two weeks ago that we found out that Ganondorf's evil boar-shaped beast form - Ganon - would be playable in Hyrule Warriors in the last planned DLC drop, called Boss Pack. Nintendo has prepared a nice surprise though and, as it turns out, they have over-delivered on their promises. Spoiler warning ahead if you want to discover this Easter egg for yourself.

Ganon's beast mode isn't the only new playable character in the game, because it is also possible to slay monsters with a giant Cucco, the hens of the Zelda world (and often victims of animal cruelty via a kicking from Link). To unlock the character you must get the A ranking in the third Ganon survival mission (so we're told), and after that you're free to wreak absolute havoc with the lethal beak and by using smaller chickens.

A clip showing Cucco was posted on Youtube and can be viewed by hitting this link.

Thanks, Zelda Informer
