Cruel.

Cuccos have been part of the Legend of Zelda series for years, so you'd think they'd be given a fair degree of respect. However, that isn't the case with the birds in Breath of the Wild - in fact, some players are hell-bent on making these poor creatures suffer as much as possible.

Cuccos, as we already know, possess incredible power that should not be messed with. However, the guys over at Dorkly decided to see what would happen if these seemingly invincible creatures were thrown into molten lava at Death Mountain.

The event itself is something of an anticlimax, but the journey there - which features quite a few tussles with high-level enemies and a lot of laughing - makes it all worthwhile (there is some bad language in this video, so consider yourself warned):

Slightly annoyed that the Dorkly guys didn't actually hurl a Cucco into Death Mountain itself as advertised, YouTuber ThatOneShowFUN decided to do it right and actually trekked to the summit of the mountain itself to throw his Cucco:

What's the worst thing you've ever done to a Cucco? Don't worry, we won't judge you.
