Breath Of The Wild Player Defeats A Boss Using A Cucco

Breath of the Wild is a game that often tasks players with using their creatvity to overcome tricky challenges and perilous situations. Fans of the game are pretty keen on displaying this creatvity, showcased perfectly during the time when they all shared their methods of solving the game's hardest Korok Seed puzzle.

First shared by Redditor JinMQ, a video shows the player going up to a weakened Hinox with nothing but a poor flapping Cucco in their hands. The Hinox pauses for a second, presumably thinking about how easy his next meal has been to catch, and then whacks Link over the top of the head with an entire tree, hitting the poor Cucco as well. Link then rolls across the floor injured, like any normal person would after being smacked by a tree.
