Takkuri Question

So, there I was: running around Termina field looking for some non-specific items. Out of nowhere, an ugly wonky-looking bird flys out of nowhere. Me, being the Majora virgin that I am, attacked it without much thought. The little blighter took the only bottle I have...

So is there anyway to recover items lost to the Takkuri?

In Majora's Mask, the Takkuri is a rather large bird that flies around the entrance to the Milk Road area of Termina Field. As it sees Link, it will not hesitate to swoop down and attack Link. If Takkuri makes a successful hit, it will steal not Rupees as in Link's Awakening, but items such as Link's shield, an Empty Bottle, or even his sword. The bird will then fly away to Clock Town with the item, leaving Link both without that item and unable to kill the bird. If no item is stolen, however, it takes about 15 arrows to kill the Takkuri, and if Link is successful in killing the bird he will receive a Huge Rupee worth 200 Rupees.
The bird works for the Curiosity Shop Guy, and as such, stolen items such as a Empty Bottle and Sword can later be bought back at the Curiosity Shop for a 'good deal'. The Takkuri can easily be killed or avoided by using the Stone Mask to remain undetected.

You can buy it back at the Curiosity shop. I also believe you can get it back using the Song of Time.

You can. And if you're not careful, PegasusBoots, your sword could get swiped next time. I find Fire/Ice/Light Arrows the best weapon(s) to use against Takkuri.

D'oh... >.< Hope it's not too expensive... Next time, I'll just run like a sissy XD Thank you for the info all of you!

I didn't know it could steal your sword! That thing has never hit me. I have always avoided it.

I think I'm gonna try that right now XD!

I remember getting my sword stolen...and never going past the Takkuri ever EVER again.

Use your best arrows, and a bomb mask. I usually win the fight, but sometimes when I'm looking the other way he gets me.

I remember alot of my items getting stolen from me. My sword, to my bottles...
But I'm not sure if it can steal your Ocarina, but watch out anyways.

As long as you're not in human form, all he ever takes from you is rupees (I think 20 is the most I've seen).

You ignored my advice, don't you?

Use magical arrows on Takkuri, ice/fire/light. 15 hits and it's a kill. Yes I count it, I do strange things in the games. You get 200 rupees every time you kill it. Fast way to fill your bank account.

And the sword is never very expensive to buy back. Don't remember how much it was, but not much.
