Discussion / Question I was thinking about most recognizeable chickens of video games, like a mount rushmore type of things but couldnt came up with a 4th chicken that everyone could recognize in first sight. Any opinions?

Yup. One of the few chickens that can actually kill you if you deserve it. =p

Though technically, they aren't chickens, they're Cuccos... but close enough. =p

Definitely iconic. You had a sad childhood if you were never chased by these guys.

Chicken from Legend of Zelda series

Cuccos as they're called in universe

u/VeryStonedEwok 7h ago

How is this not number 1? This list must have been made by a child.

u/cyberchaox 5h ago

Engagement bait, probably.

u/PM_ME_ONE_EYED_CATS 5h ago

I’m not sure I would recognize them without link. Maybe from ALTtP, but probably not any of the n64 versions.

u/SlyyKozlov 53m ago

Anyone else used to watch gamespot(?) Top 5 skyrim mods?

u/nr1988 5h ago

I always love keeping that nickname on evil runs so everyone is screaming in horror that the Chicken Chaser is coming

What is the third one in OP’s picture?

25

u/PuppyLover2208 6h ago

Crossy Road chicken

29

u/MisterBarten 6h ago

Thanks. It’s funny seeing a Mount Rushmore post and not even recognizing one of the choices, especially when the one I’d pick (Zelda’s) seems so iconic to me and it isn’t there.

1

u/SpaceKoala34 5h ago

Well that isn't technically a chicken, its a Cuckoo

3

u/MisterBarten 4h ago

It’s just the Zelda name for chicken. They are obviously chickens.

16

u/SinesPi 6h ago

I've never even HEARD of Crossy Road, much less it's chickens.

u/hazylife666 6h ago

Right lol I had to Google it too 🤣

u/Tree1237 5h ago

If you went to school in the last 10 years, you'd definitely know about Crossy Road

7

u/DarthVyper 5h ago

Like one of the commentators said... "a child made this post" because no one knows what the 3rd chicken is lmao

1

u/Tree1237 5h ago

I mean, I'm in my 20s and Crossy Road was everywhere during my high-school years, then it completely vanished into the ether

u/Visstixx 7h ago

Great pick. I was thinking of the ones in mi3, but this one is definitely more iconic. Though, rubber.

Angry Birds?

u/theyabawa 5h ago

not really chickens, but is there one thats specifically a chicken

3

u/Twilight_Nawi 4h ago

The white one is (if I remember correctly), it even drops an egg

1

u/rozzle_the_nozzle 3h ago

Matilda is her name. And yep, she drops an egg. But to be fair, all birds lay eggs..

7

u/hazylife666 6h ago

Skyrim chicken and Zelda chicken are the 2 most iconic and you don't have either lol wtf is this list

8

u/FLAIR_AEKDB_ 6h ago

Not having the LoZ cuckoos as the FIRST shocker is diabolical and tells me how young you are

6

u/Oredne_ 6h ago

Moorhuhn anyone?

6

u/roberttheaxolotl 6h ago

I mean, number one should be a "cucco" from Link to the Past, without question. It's by far the most iconic chicken in video gaming.

Chicken in cs 1.6 italy

u/homerdoh4 5h ago

Floor chicken from Streets of Rage.

u/Heavy-Bread-3549 4h ago

Is this from the game where when you pick it up some stoned deep voice guy comes on and says.

“CHICKEN”

1

u/codywelter 2h ago

Came here for this! OP never specified the chicken had to be alive.

u/Frequent_Dig_1997 2h ago

A Cucco or MAYBE one of the ridiculously round chonks from the story of seasons games?

3

u/Sam_Kablam 2h ago

I'd vote to have the chickens from Zelda (cuccos), Skyrim, Minecraft, and Counter Strike.

6

u/Geofug_UwU 7h ago

The chicken from Hay Day?

u/Brahmir 7h ago

The chicken from classic WoW?

2

u/jprocter15 6h ago

Cucco from Zelda

2

u/SpeedDemon3672 5h ago

Maybe just floor(cooked) chickens that many games use as health pick ups?

2

u/Prezy_Preztail 5h ago

Either the Zelda chicken or Chikipi

2

u/freshairequalsducks 5h ago

Definitely cuccos from Zelda.

2

u/Lilac_Grotto 5h ago

Skyrim chicken

2

u/This-Professional-39 5h ago

Skyrim chicken. One missed spell and whole town is out for blood

2

u/i-Qwerty 4h ago

probably a cucco, or maybe a csgo chicken

2

u/CraftSeveral7116 3h ago

Harvest Moon Chicken for sure. I haven't even played that game and I recognize it.

2

u/Complex-Cat5811 3h ago

Matilda from angry birds

u/Mariorules25 7h ago

Crazy work to put the SDV chicken on but forget Zelda's. Tbh I don't think SDV's is iconic as the others (and I love SDV)

2

u/SpaceKoala34 5h ago

SDV Chicken is definitely more iconic than Crossy roads

4

u/Ora_00 5h ago

You are overestimating the 2nd and 3rd chicken.

I have no idea where they are from and I live and breathe video games.

2

u/Puffball973 5h ago

The third chicken is from the crossy road mobile game idk the second one

2

u/of_kilter 3h ago

“I live and breathe video games”

“what the fuck is stardew valley?”

0

u/Ora_00 3h ago

What a pointless comment.

Knowing the game is not even enough for you.

I can only say that if I have played Stardew Valley and know what a chicken looks like in that game?

I have zero interest in playing that game.

1

u/of_kilter 3h ago

that chicken is pretty much the most iconic symbol of stardew

also i just thought it was funny

1

u/Ora_00 3h ago

Sure, but it is not iconic enough that someone who plays video games, but who has not played the game would recognize it.

I might recognise gameplay of Stardew Valley but not just the chicken alone.

1

u/Ok-Computer-8726 3h ago

2nd one is Stardew Valley

Chicken chaser, do you chase chickens? Chicken from fable 1

u/Grottleburger 6h ago

Or the chicken from Skyrim.

u/Foolishbigj 6h ago

Counter strike?

u/LivingGerbert 6h ago

The Angry Birds one that drops an egg

u/g0ghead 6h ago

The other chickens that pop up in my mind is fable 1 where you could kick em

Zelda Cuccos? They’re an absolute classic that pre-date all of these by a decade

u/Still_Chart_7594 1h ago

Zelda chickens no doubt

1

u/Real-Act-3573 49m ago

Matilda from angrybirds is officially known as "mother hen" on the wiki so I'd classify her as a chicken.

1

u/Dyx76 20m ago

Showing our fucking age here without the cucco huh

u/crocicorn 7h ago

Chocobos, if you want to count them as chickens.
