The Anju of Hyrule is a woman with a great love of the Cucco birds. The birds often flee her pen, but she offers rewards to anyone who returns them. A different version of Anju was presented in Majora's Mask.

Background

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time Anju lives at Kakariko Village. She is the daughter of Mutoh and Granny, and she also has a brother Grog. Anju was allergic to Cuccos but raised them anyway. During the seven years that pass during Link's slumber Anju researches at the Marine Research Laboratory to make a new breed of Cucco that she isn't allergic to. She calls it the Pocket Cucco.

If Link makes her first Pocket Cucco happy, she thanks Link and gives him another Cucco to make happy- Cojiro, Grog's Cucco who hasn't cawed since his owner ran away. Anju also attends the celebration at Lon Lon Ranch, where she juggles Cuccos for Biggoron.

Other Games

Anju also appears in Hyrule Castle Town in The Minish Cap.

Majora's Mask

The Anju of Termina is quite different from her Hyrulian counterpart. She works at a family business, the Stock Pot Inn with her mother and Granny, who is her actual grandmother this time. Her father Tortus's fate is unrevealed. Anju is a good receptionist and great cleaner, but at the same time a bad cook and has bad memory. She's also best friends with Cremia of Romani Ranch.

Anju has a deep romance with the mayor's son, Kafei. One year, the year of Majora's Mask, they decide to fuse their masks at the Carnival of Time and become a true couple. But one month before the wedding, Kafei goes missing. In the three days before the Carnival, Anju enlists Link's help to find Kafei. If Link brings Anju the Pendent of Memories on the second day, Anju decides to stay in town and wait for Kafei instead of leaving town for shelter.

Anju and Kafei are reunited in the hours just before the moon hits Termina. She fuses her Moon's Mask with his Sun's Mask to make the Couple's Mask. After Link and the Giants save Termina, Anju and Kafei are wed on the dawn of the new day.
