Here's a pic of my buff Brahma rooster, I'm debating between the names Link or Sam.

I plan to breed him with my HUGE buff Brahma hen Boo!

Handsome devil! Ive got light Brahma chicks..10 of em all hens....cant wait to see em full grown....theyre very big compared to my black Australorps.

Ooh, he's so cute! And big! Such a precious thing.
Might be a good idea to name him after a Goron, with that size.

There are SO many gorons in LoZ, I mainly know, Daruk, darunia, darmani, and couple more.

I'd recommend being quiet around him and doing as little as possible to startle him.
Try getting him to eat treats and feed from your hands -- crouch/kneel down and extend your arms, and wait for a few minutes until he comes over or your arm gets tired. Gradually move your hand closer to your body over the course of a few repetitions, and even as he's eating -- when a chicken starts to eat, they tend to follow the food wherever it goes.
After a few repetitions of this, slowly move your free hand towards him as he eats, stopping if he flinches or moves away. Once he settles, going back to pecking at the treats, move your hand again.
Above all, be patient with him. I haven't taken in any adult roosters, but his was what I was doing with Lefty before he died -- he was a suspicious thing, and I sadly didn't get him to be very comfortable with me, but he was at least eating from my hand.
Good luck with your sweet Brahma!

Get some mealworms to hand feed him! He will be your buddy then!

Lots of D's.
D-boy, for short?

Thank you SO much!
Did you know the name Link means left.

Yeah, I think my local Walmart carries mealworms...

I did not. Interesting!
I can't remember what my name means. I looked it up a while ago, but I've forgotten.

I don't think mine really has a total meaning...

Are you SURE those are wyandottes?
The one on the left looks like penciled patterned feathers...
