Gameplay-wise, wind plays two roles: As an obstacle, and as an ally. The Wind Waker allows Link to change the direction of the wind. In Phantom Hourglass, the Temple of Wind not only features wind-related puzzles as well, but is also located on an island filled with windy geysers and gusts blowing from varying direction. Another one of these games is Twilight Princess, where Link finds the Gale Boomerang, which houses the power of the Fairy of Winds.
The most significant is The Minish Cap featuring a two-dungeon search for the Wind Element via interactions with the Wind Tribe, the use of the Ocarina of Wind to teleport between Wind Crests and the Gust Jar. īesides The Wind Waker, a few The Legend of Zelda games make use of wind as a major theme. Ganondorf, before battling Link and Princess Zelda, tells the former that, during the time of Ocarina of Time, he used to covet the lively wind blowing on Hyrule, rather than the harsh weather conditions under which he and his people lived. Their guardian deity is the Sky Spirit Valoo. Although they were wingless in the past, over time they developed wings so that they could subsist through the steep terrain of Dragon Roost Island. There is also a race that has a fixation towards wind and sky, the Rito. A common quote among the sages back in the day was to wish the "wind of fortune" to blow with one. Historically, however, wind has been revered since centuries ago: When Hyrule was still a living kingdom, Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule used the titular Wind Waker to conduct the sages as they prayed to, among other things, keep the Power to Repel Evil within the Master Sword. Also, when Link retrieves the Triforce of Courage, he is chosen by the gods as the Hero of Winds. There is also a temple dedicated to this element, the Wind Temple (whose puzzles and obstacles make use of it), as well as a melody, the Wind God's Aria.
It is given sacred value by two Wind Gods: Zephos and Cyclos, both lending Link their respective wind-related powers. The game where wind takes the biggest role is The Wind Waker.
