We Played Through BotW as a CHICKEN (Cucco)

So we played Zelda: Breath of the Wild as the CHICKEN (Cucco)! This was a wild ride, and we added several extra challenges as well.
We also played through BotW as LINKLE

Welcome to The Basement! The Basement is the friendliest place on KZbin.
In today's video, we walk you through what it was like to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with a mod that lets you play as the chicken/cucco. The great thing about this BotW mod is how silly it is. Many of the enemies
We made it all of the way through the game and beat Ganon - join us for future videos to see what other awesome mods.
HUGE shout out and thank you to the creators of this mod (Banan039) as well as the entire BotW modding community. This has been such a fun experience.

I can't decide what's funnier - Peter and Ted wheeze laughing or what they're wheeze laughing at.

[@CuccoCloudy]

Both.

[@Tekkerue]

Oh definitely what they're wheeze laughing at. This is the best mod ever! 😂😂

[@eclipse9215]

Real

[@Psylent]

Ohh, I thought somehow you people were tolerating the cackling. But some of you actually enjoy it. I was able to tolerate it long enough to see a Moblin link but that's it.

[@Khlee20120121]

Hyrule Compendium POV This is a bokolink This is a Moblink This is a Linknel This is a Master Kohlink This is a Calamity Linkon

Would it be wrong of me to eat chicken nuggets while I’m watching this video

[@portiac6097]

I wouldn’t

[@j_gamezzz868]

Yes no maybe so

[@SirChinchilla69]

Yes. Yes it would.

[@lonelyredgiant]

YOU TRAITOR!!

[@richardwilson1644]

I did

[@wertyfoxy22]

"Never Give Up The Fight" part was epic ❤

[@GALAXY_3241]

Yes absolutely! 47:32

[@Spill_The_Tea_Hun]

the fact that the bokoblin links are what most of the fanbase imagines link like when launching koroks, setting stuff on fire, etc, just makes me so incredibly happy lmfao

[@KBcreations403]

yeah, that's the side of the fanbase I like, not the femboy-Link side.

[@user-hu8pq9dx5d]

I have this hilarious, surreal vision in my imagination of the blood moon, with hundreds of Links of various sizes scampering around.

[@mrgrimm2143]

I like how you Acted like a guy in a documentary about wildlife when you were going to get a horse 🐔🐎

[@PunsandPixels]

I know right? It kind of reminded me of Monster Maze’s documentary about bokoblins. That thing is so funny too! I wonder if they’ve seen it.

[@TopSideRhyme706]

@@PunsandPixelsI’v seen it and can confirm that it’s truly amazing.

[@Krystlist]

whoever did that singing, that was awesome. also all the chicken puns, you had me crowing

[@Supe4]

Lore: Ganon possessed link, and used his powers to put links all over the land, and the cucco is only here because more than 1 link is too many, and it must be stopped.

[@ryeguy2745]

47:25 😂 "Never give up the fight" lyrics The enemy is crowding in It's comin left to right Cooped up in the darks of the helpless... hopeless Justice never comes to past You looks up just take a chance The fire in your eyes step into the ring and again Never give up the fight! Defeat is only in your mind Pushin through the pain to gain the right to saaaayy. Never give up the fight Like a rooster in the night Lookin toward the mornin' light to a new daaayy. Evil will never win if we grew over time We used to be weak, but we're getting stronger, but it takes too long to show it all. The steady progress takes it's toll. A music montage for a training sequence never fails. Never give up the fight! Defeat is only in your mind. Pushin through the pain to gain the right to say. Never give up the fight! Like a rooster in the night. Lookin toward the mornin light to a new day. Never give up the fight! Defeat is only in your mind Pushing through the pain to gain the right to saaayeeyaay Never give up the fight! Like a rooster in the night Looking toward the morning light to a new day

[@Thazeldadebatertiktok69]

22:32 Made me laugh so hard I was crying😂

[@xcgames4545]

A KFC ad for chicken nuggets came up while I was watching this😂

[@EpicRobloxianReal]

Glad to see how you guys are still doing BotW content. Lots of KZbinrs abandoned it after Totk came out and I'm glad to see how you guys are still doing content on my favorite game

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

3:45 Not even 4 minutes into the video and I'm already laughing INSANELY hard, I love this channel so freaking much 😂 Edit: I just finished the video, and the other hour of it was filled with tons and tons of absolutely hilarious moments like this, this is legitimately one of the funniest channels I've ever come across

[@The8asement]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Gracie64957]

@@The8asementI laughed so hard at the chicken climbing part

[@Eclipse7121]

The cucco in the horse gave me an idea what if you guys play through this game as a horse

[@shark_girl]

Pick up a cucco as a cucco. and then fly with the cucco.

[@sammyfunworld2037]

Omg link being waterblight Ganon 😆

"So grab some popcorn or corn or some other chicken friendly snacks" Me: *literally eating popcorn chicken* "I have eaten the cucco's brothers.."

omg really?!!

[@oliverturner7610]

Why does everyone hate this very specific cucco?!

this is one of the most wholesome zelda channels (along with desertbeegames) and i am all for it so thanks for making such amazing videos and keeping botw alive

LOL

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

The editing on this one is really a step up from usual, whoever did it did an absolutely fantastic job on it!! That music montage especially was absolutely spectacular.

[@The8asement]

Well thank you! That music montage was really fun to make.

[@jingsoye]

Your laughter is funnier than the game itself 😂 3:31

[@AmyWall-mt4og]

GENIUS MODE TURNED ON FOR A MINUTE! Ted and Peter, this video is all about the cuccos getting revenge on Link. But at least there is a reason to attack the chickens. They sometimes drop eggs! HOWEVER, everyone always tortures the koroks way worse than the cuccos. I can't believe I'm only thinking of this now, because I'm watching this video for the, like, seven thousandth time, but you should play through BotW AS A KOROK! Koroks need more revenge than the cuccos. At the end of this video, you say "even cucco was feeling a little sorry for him." Yeah, not korok. YOU SHOULD DO IT! That would be a wonder, nay, a masterpiece, nay, a WONDEROUS MASTERPIECE! And I would watch it as soon as I could. I'm also your biggest fan!

[@Samus67]

Peter: You know he's going to do *recreates what a rooster sound sounds like* Ted: laughs his head off Me: also laughing 🤣

[@Cherry_Ichigo]

I had a very hard time holding my laugh to not wake the neigbours up this night. Thank you for making this absolute masterpiece; I don't think I have laughed this loud in MONTHS 🤣

[@Annxka___]

28:15 Link ate too much taco bell and too many beans (idk why i commented twice on this video)

[@DragonFamal.]

This vid is coco crazy 😂🐥

Still on botw nice and with the old intro😊

Just what I needed is a good video to help with my sickness. nicely done with another masterpiece.

[@brooksplays8179]

I also have a sickness

[@vanessaosborne2995]

I just realized I was eating chicken nuggets while I was watching this video.😂😂😂

[@PunsandPixels]

Let’s be honest, we all love this channel mainly because we can vicariously experience what a fun and close friendship feels like

[@rodrigodanielflorencia9803]

I lost it at water blight link flipping to the ceiling OMG I swear I cried hahaha

[@snedwetthebed]

it really seems to uncover a lot of lore for a character that we've never even really seen or acknowledged as important, its a story of anger, distraught, despair and pure hatred as he is clouded by the vision of Link the cucco's true enemy. In this story we really see a new side and see a side where maybe we just realize that the villain in Links eyes wasn't always the villain in others eyes. we can only hope this adventure has brought a new level of closure for both ends and maybe they've decided to take the time to heal and grow from the pain and maybe this will bring us viewers closure aswell as we have finally seen the true pain the cuccos felt all along. a truly moving experience and life story I've ever been able to witness, thank you so much for bringing this subject into the open I never knew the cuccos held such a burden.

[@eroraf8637]

Oh gosh, I think I was here for the beginning. I definitely remember the cursed climbing and gliding animations.

[@neel2335]

i started losing it when lynel link started galloping 😭

its so funny when they die because he just slides around

gaming idea: play BotW as an ox

the cuckoos wearing link gloves so it looks like he has hylian hands

This is so funny i love it and i love all of the age of calamity music in it too

[@shadowsa2b]

This is made even funnier by the fact that this guy sounds like Jack Black

[@teddythecat7155]

And chickens will eat eggs for fun too letting you know

[@thecosplaycrafter8017]

I believe the word you were looking for at 34:30 was "ornithomorphised." Great video! Those Blight Links are cursed though.

[@Cinderdraws]

Man he's crazy co-cco.

[@marcussco3807]

bro that song was so good I would listen to it for hours

[@The8asement]

hey thanks!

[@wildsmiley]

Ever since A LINK TO THE PAST we've been attacking cuccos. That's where it started.

[@lich8624]

this is amazing! plus I must've played way too much celeste because I recognized the music immediately and wondered if I had left the game open

[@user-op3lc8kc1w]

I dont know what it is that makes the fantom armor look so funny!!

[@FerreTrip]

I love how the Hinox at Kakariko couldn't see because the Cucco model was so short XD

[@ThePurpleDucks]

Ill be putting that music for the chicken in my Spotify Playlist

[@MidnightWings11]

Riju is probably younger than link but older than totk tulin So maybe somewhere in between 13 and 16? Also gerudo have same lifespan as hylians
