Template:Character Anju, also called the Cucco Lady,[1][2] is a recurring character in Template:LZS.

Appearances

Ocarina of Time

The Cucco Lady from Ocarina of Time 3D

In Ocarina of Time, she is referred to as the Cucco Lady.[1] She can be found in Kakariko Village, where she raises and tends to her Cuccos. The Cucco Lady is allergic to Cuccos, so she has a hard time taking care of them and keeping them inside the pen.[3] When Link first meets her, the Cuccos will be running around all over the village. As the Cucco Lady cannot do it herself, she asks Link to round them up and bring them back to their pen. For Link's help, she will reward him with a Bottle.[4]

When Link returns to Kakariko Village as an adult, he can speak to the Cucco Lady to begin the Biggoron's Sword quest. She will tell him that she bred a special new type of miniature Cucco that does not give her an allergic reaction.[5] She then gives him the Pocket Egg which he must carry until it hatches. After the egg hatches, Link must use it to wake up Talon, and then return the new Cucco to the Cucco Lady. She will then give Link her brother's blue Cucco, Cojiro.

Anju is the Carpenters' Boss's daughter.

Majora's Mask

Anju's picture in the Bomber's Notebook

In Majora's Mask, Anju is the inn keeper at the Stock Pot Inn and the best friend of Cremia, the owner of Romani Ranch.[6] She is engaged to Kafei, Mayor Dotour's son, and they plan to have their wedding on the day of the Carnival of Time. However, certain circumstances have caused Anju to start doubting her fiancé.[7] Although her father, Tortus, has passed away, her mother and grandmother live with her in the inn.[8] She is one of the characters in the game with an entry in the Bombers' Notebook.

Anju is portrayed as apologizing quite often and appears somewhat nervous. She is not very good at cooking and, according to Kafei's Diary, tends to leave things until the last minute.[9][10] She also seems to have trouble remembering customers' faces, which can cause her to deliver reservations to the wrong person.[11]

Reuniting Kafei and Anju

The Anju and Kafei sidequest is the only sidequest in the Bombers' Notebook that takes an entire 3-day cycle. When they were children, Anju and Kafei promised to marry each other on the day of the Carnival of Time, exchanging the Sun and Moon's Masks during the event.[12] However, Kafei disappeared with his wedding ceremony mask one month before the wedding. After he was turned into a child by the Skull Kid,[13] his Sun Mask was stolen by Sakon as he was on his way to see the Great Fairy about his desperate situation.[14] Despite Kafei's terrible fate, Anju does not know what has become of him or why he disappeared. She is afraid to meet his fiance and hear the reason as to why he escaped, for she fears his disappearance might have been because of her.[15]

Anju's Mother puts ideas into Anju's head that her fiancé might have run off with her best friend Cremia, who actually has a crush on Kafei.[16] Since Cremia needs strength from a partner and business support from Kafei's mother Madame Aroma to run Romani Ranch, Kafei running off with the ranch owner would allow her to have the stability she needs.[17]

When Link intervenes to help reunite Kafei and Anju, the young hero meets with the inn keeper in the kitchen at her request.[18] She then asks him to deliver a letter to the Mailbox in her stead, hoping to get a description of her fiancé if Link is to meet with him.[19] Anju is too afraid to do this on her own, so she tells Link to pass on the message that Anju is waiting for him.[20]

Link meets Kafei, who explains his situation and hands over his pendant to him.[21] Once Link delivers the pendant to Anju, she will once again believe in Kafei and decides to wait for his return despite her mother's wishes and the fact that everyone else will be taking refuge in Romani Ranch.[22]

On the night of the Final Day, with just a few hours left until the Moon falls, Anju is desperately waiting for Kafei in her room. The two lovers at last reunite and exchange their masks and oaths when Kafei returns from having retrieved the Sun Mask that was stolen from him.[23] In return for witnessing this event, they grant Link the Couple's Mask.[24] Even though the Moon is just hours from destroying Termina, they urge Link to take refuge, for they will stay and greet the morning together.[25]

During the ending credits, Anju can be seen outside Clock Town having her wedding ceremony.

The Minish Cap

In The Minish Cap, Link must collect Anju's Cuccos within a certain time limit in Hyrule Town. If he does so, Anju will reward him with Rupees and either Mysterious Shells or Kinstone pieces. The next time Link talks to her, Anju will make the challenge more difficult by changing the number of Cuccos needed, their distance from the pen, and the time available to catch them. Once Link completes the challenge nine times, she will give him a Piece of Heart.

Anju atop the Clock Tower

Majora's Mask Manga

In the Template:Manga, Anju plays a different role than she does in the game. Link first meets her after he is transformed into Deku Link by Skull Kid. She finds him and brings him home to care for him. She also informs Link that he is no longer in Hyrule. Soon, Skull Kid attacks her and chases Link throughout Clock Town. She is also called by Tatl while Link is fighting Skull Kid with Kafei atop the Clock Tower on the Final Day.[26]

The Minish Cap Manga

In Template:Manga, Link first meets Anju when he is transformed into a Minish and accidentally traps himself in her chicken coop. The chicks attempt to eat Minish Link, as they mistake him for a bug.[27] Anju then comes in time to save him by distracting the baby chicks by feeding them.[28] Link tries to look up her skirt as a Minish, but instead nearly gets stepped on.
