I thought I was so clever carrying a cucco from central Hyrule all the way up to that silver Lynel in the top left snowy region, thinking that surely the chickens would kill the beast. It was the only time an idiotic plan of mine did not work in Breath of the Wild... which is why Breath of the Wild is phenomenal, because I got away with so much absurd bullshit my whole time playing and it WANTED me to be able to do that.
