Kakariko Windmill

The Kakariko Windmill refers generally to both the interior and exterior of the windmill in Kakariko Village (for specific details about inside the windmill, see Windmill Hut). The windmill houses Guru Guru, an exit from the village graveyard (which can provide access to a piece of heart) and, oddly enough, an almost-useless secret passageway which can be accessed from the village area with the hookshot. Here, a cucco is located-to help access unreachable rooftops. At certain points of the storyline of Ocarina of Time, the windmill ceases to operate-and can be restored (albeit often temporarily) by embarking on the Song of Storms sub-quest and playing this song on the ocarina.

There is a similarity between the principles of the windmill in OoT and the ferris wheel in The Wind Waker (Windfall Island)-although in the latter, Link must change the direction of the wind to activate the sails of the "windmill" as opposed to creating a storm.
