These scenes are officially not a part of the story. They are non-cannon. They were written because they were fun to write.
Both take place during the chapter 'Adventures in Ponyville: Chicken Chaser'.
Scootaloo the Chicken
Scootaloo buzzed down the streets of Ponyville at top speed, her wings nearly a blur as she tore through the town on her scooter. Behind her, the wagon carrying her friends zoomed along was well.
Link had been seen around town, and all the Crusaders wanted to see what he was up to with their own eyes. Ponies claimed he was herding chickens, which was so ridiculous that nopony who heard could take it seriously. Herding? Chickens? Applebloom had experience with chickens, and had never heard of such a thing. They would panic for sure, no way a pony or a wolf could actually herd a chicken. But everypony who had seen him so far had insisted the same thing.
So it was up to the Crusaders to find out what he was REALLY doing. After all, why would someone who goes around saving ponies from slavery in Diamond Dog mines, or saving the town from something even Twilight couldn't solve, run around town chasing down escaped chickens?
They sped through the town two or three times before they caught sight of their elusive quarry. Link was padding along, following his nose down the middle of the street, oblivious or uncaring as to the berth of ponies around him and the stares he was receiving. Scootaloo stopped the scooter and attached cart so that the three of them could observe.
"What's he doing?"
"Looks like he's lookin' fer somethin'. Winona always does that when she's lookin' fer her bone."
"So, what is he looking for?"
All three took a long look at each other, and no answers were forthcoming before Scootaloo shrugged her shoulders.
"I dunno. Chickens I guess?"
The next moment, Scootaloo was hefted into the air, the jaws of the wolf firmly fastened around her tail.
"What?!" Scootaloo cried out, flailing madly. Her wings buzzed, but immature as they were they were unable to do more than add extra limbs to her struggles.
The townsfolk, slightly alarmed now, all watched as Link hefted Scootaloo along, heading out of town.
"Hey! I'm not a chicken! Put me down!" Scootaloo protested into the distance as Applebloom, Sweetie, and everypony within sight stared dumbstruck at the retreating wolf.
Revenge of the Chicken
Fluttershy was tending to her garden when she heard the faint sound of protests coming down the pathway to her cottage. She set her little hoe down and turned the corner of the cottage just in time to see Link padding down the road with the most curious cargo.
She was expecting him to be herding another chicken, and to hear the squawking complaints, but it wasn't one of her chickens; Scootaloo, held by her tail, helmet still on her head, was being carried by the pony-sized wolf like she was an errant kitten.
Link seemed almost bored by the task, paying no attention to the thrashing foal as he neared the chicken pen.
"Uhm... wait..." Fluttershy feebly called out.
Link ignored her, padding into the the chicken coop before dropping the young pegasus.
"Ow!"
Link had dropped Scootaloo when she wasn't expecting it, and she had landed awkwardly on one hoof. Fluttershy rushed over as the foal held her hoof with an expression of pain, but there were no tears. A few quick looks told her the whole story.
"It's just a little bruise, Scootaloo. You'll be fine," Fluttershy reassured. She turned to Link, intending to tell him that Scootaloo was not one of her chickens and ask why he had done such a thing, but stopped when she became aware of his very wide eyes and the sudden silence around her.
Almost dreading to look, Fluttershy turned her head to see every single one of the chickens that Link had herded in were staring at him. Every single one had a look of hateful concentration. Some she could swear were turning red.
Link took a single step back, and in that moment a chicken crowed. By the time Fluttershy translated it for the battle-cry that it was, it was already too late.
Link yelped as the ballistic enraged chickens swarmed towards him, pecking at every exposed piece of fur and skin. Feathers flew everywhere as Link, tail between his legs, retreated under the avian assault. Fluttershy could only watch in shock and surprise as Link ran down the path leading to Ponyville, a horde of angry chickens in hot persuit.
"What just happened?" Scootaloo asked, her injury forgotten.
Fluttershy had no answer for her.
Yes! The Cuccoos strike again!
They watch when you're not looking.
They hide in plain sight.
The White Death.
You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
Link and Ponies! Hell yes!
Obligatory you shouldn't have done that.
I still get chills when I think about those sobs...
5576341 Cucco's are deadlier than a magikarp to the face.
RUN AWAY!!!
5576491 Hands down; magikarps are terrifying in their own right, so the thought of something even more terrifying...chilling.
5576515 ON The bright side, It looks like Scootaloo has been adopted. They'll take her in, raise her, teach her their ways...Their terrifying ways...
lol
The Cuccoos are such a fun element of the Zelda universe, even when not technically in said universe.
A friend and I were playing the newest SSB, and he thought it would be a good idea to try and knock one of them at me with an attack. He regretted that choice shortly.
I guess the chickens are perturbed about their likeness as much as Scootaloo.
CACAW BITCH!
Can I just ask one thing before I begin? which Link is this? Skyward Sword, Ocarina, Oracles, Twilight Princess, LttP/LbW, Adventures of Link, which one?
5577072
Twilight Princess.

One of my favorites, mostly because we actually get a bit of backstory.
death by chicken reference XD
I was wondering when the chicken swarm would come for him...
Gotta love cuccoos. I still can't believe this story's over...
made me think of this
you should do a sequel i already really like the story, i don´t care if it is romance or in his world, but maybe you should really make a sequel even if it should be a side project.
And this exactly why you never ever harm a chicken.
cuccoos are hilarious lol
Honestly, wouldn't mind someone making a Four swords misadventures crossover fic. Imagine what would happen if the infamous super cucco was unleashed on Ponyville!
It was nice o read, but at the same time somehow short, and i missed something.
Maybe it was because Link was never long enough at one place and at the side of one of those ponys, but somehow they aren´t that close as friend yet, or at least it feels like that.
I don´t know, but i would like a sequel, maybe in his world, and think of a reason why they could speak with each other, there could be a portal for everyone to travel into the other world if they use an special artifact.
Well good story, but i had liked bit more interaction with everyone, even Epona didn´t talked as much as i had like it if i remember ir correct.
I LAUGHED SO HARD SO GOOD being able to kill the cucoos in hyrule warriors is so therapeutic btw
5578245 I was thinking of it taking place in Hyrule Warriors.
5633653 I think that would be nice somehow, that could even make a little bit sense, because they have some sort of portals in Hyrule Warriors. (i hope they get a online mode, if they get it, then i buy the game myself and buy most of the dlc´s, till then i take it from my brother once in a while, but i don´t want to pay for the bonus content if i don´t own the game myself yet)
However, do you want to write a sequel?, is this your second account? Only to be sure, whatever you plan to do (if you are the one that should write the sequel), please don´t make the normal Link X Zeda or something like that. I don´t have anything against that, but if there is a Crossover, i would like crossover romance´s as well.
I suppose Twilight could always open a portal or Zelda could be able to do it too.

No current plan for a full-fledged sequel from me at this time. I am planning on writing a bonus chapter of sorts that does show some further interactions between Equestria and Hyrule at an unspecified time in the future (not Hyrule warriors, sorry, i haven't played the game so I feel that I can't write something based on it), but at this time that's it.
That being said, there nothing stopping you guys from writing a sequel...
5633583 YES!! IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!
Let the true nightmare begin...
5624023
Thank you for the advice, should be fixed now.
5634638
I'm going to have to use this as a basis when I write the trade quest bonus chapter.
5637363
I thought the bosses in the latter half of the game weren't officially 'Twilit _'.... hmm....
*checks Zeldapedia*
Well, what do you know. Blizzeta is officially 'Twilit Ice Mass'. You mind if I blatantly steal the name you gave Nightmare Moon?
And, after all that, I take it you liked the story?
that's all
Can't be a legend of Zelda story without a chicken atrack chapter

U sir get a cookie for that
