"I'm going to Hyrule?" Scootaloo asked as the floor stopped moving. She looked around and saw they were in a large room, bustling with chickens. There was a chicken statue on a pedestal nearby.

"You are." Lance replied. "However, you will not do so alone. The three of us will be with you."

"Before we leave, however, you must learn of the history of our world, and how to deal with the many dangers to be found there." Archie said. "I will be the one to teach you, young chick."

"Before your lessons can begin, however, there is one step more to become an official Cucco." Lance said, stepping off the wooden platform. He and his teammates stopped in front of the statue.

"…What's this statue?" Scootaloo asked.

"This statue is our former teammate." Lance replied, forlornly. "Joker."

"Quite a card, that one." Boomer said, in a relatively quiet voice.

"A wild card…" Archie said.

"His name was fitting." Lance said. "He loved jokes, of all sorts. Unfortunately, that led to his demise…"

"…What happened?" Scootaloo asked.

"He decided to play a practical joke on a cockatrice." the Cucco replied. "Cockatrices are… Not exactly known for having a good sense of humor."

"…I see…" Scootaloo said.

"…Well, let's go." said Lance, turning away. The group followed him, until they were stopped by a Cucco with a blue tail feather.

"Hey there, Lance!" he said.

"…Ace…" the annoyed Cucco responded.

"Who's the chick?" asked the blue-feathered chicken.

"Her name is Scootaloo." Lance replied. "And you, flying rooster, are in our way." He shoved the other chicken aside and started walking again.

"Flying rooster?" Scootaloo asked.

"He says he's a descendant of the legendary flying rooster of Koholint Island." Lance answered. "He says his discolored tail feather is proof of that. However, I have never heard of such an island, nor have I seen it on any maps. Everybody else seems to believe his story, though."

"Well, you've got to admit," Boomer said, "he does have the ability to fly."

"…He does, but his story… It doesn't make sense. There is no such place as Koholint Island, just as there is no such place as Termina."

"I've told you, it does exist!" Boomer shouted.

"Enough, Boomer." Archie said.

"We're here." Lance said, reaching a door with some strange symbols on it. He knocked on the door with his beak. "Boss? We've brought a new member."
