Updraft

, also known as, are a recurring mechanic in. NaN Updrafts go unnamed in SS undefined and.

Location and Uses
NaN Updrafts are gusts of wind that push upward, often carrying whatever enters the column of wind with them.

NaN Updrafts can be found in the Stone Tower Temple in. They can be used by Deku Link to increase his altitude while gliding through the air. Deku Link can jump straight into a whirlwind to start flying without the use of a Deku Flower.

NaN Updrafts appear in the TWWHD: and the TWWHD: in. TWWHD: can use them to gain altitude while gliding with the TWWHD:.

Although NaN Updrafts are mostly used as a boost while gliding, they can also be found as obstacles, such as in the TWWHD:, where various "updrafts" blowing downward will block TWWHD:'s path until deactivated. NaN Updrafts can also blow TWWHD: away unless he wears the TWWHD:, which must be worn to walk through the wind currents.

Other NaN Updrafts can be found in the Great Sea. While sailing in the King of Red Lions, these updrafts can catch Link and change his direction.

NaN Updrafts are small vortexes found throughout TMC: in. TMC: can jump into them by using the TMC: or by jumping off a ledge. When jumping into one, TMC: will hold onto TMC: like a parachute, letting him glide through the air.

Though they function as NaN Tornados, the NaN Crimson Cyclones in the TMC: have the appearance of red NaN Updrafts.

NaN Updrafts are found on Islands throughout the World of the Ocean King, such as on the Isle of Gust, either buried under soil or appearing naturally on the ground. When Link enters a PH:'s column, he will be propelled upwards to a nearby ledge. If NaN Updrafts are covered by soil, Link must uncover them with the Shovel in order to use them. Alternatively, Link may purposefully cover NaN Updrafts with the Shovel to access areas otherwise blocked by their columns of wind. Some Updrafts are activated via Switches.

Link can throw Bombs into NaN Updrafts, to make them explode at higher elevations and blast obstacles which obstruct ledges. This tactic is necessary to defeat Cyclok, the boss of the Temple of Wind.

[[SS -]]
Updrafts appear throughout The Surface in SS undefined, such as in the Sealed Grounds. By using the Sailcloth in tandem with these air vents, Link can ascend cliffs and ledges. Much like in, these vents of air may be trapped underground. Link can uncover these by using either the Digging Mitts or the Mogma Mitts.

Updrafts appear in NaN Levels of the TFH: in, where they are powered by air vents.

Updrafts can be caused by a variety of sources in. Updrafts can occur when fire catches on grass or Spicy Peppers, generating lift that Link can use in tandem with his Paraglider to soar into the sky. Dragons also naturally generate Updrafts when they fly through the sky, allowing Link to match their vertical position. Updrafts created by Dragons also fully regenerate Link's Stamina Wheel whenever he draws his Paraglider while in them. Some Updrafts occur via natural vents in the ground, allowing Link to scale heights with ease.

The Updrafts in the BotW: are used for training by Rito warriors. Except for during the "EX Champion Revali's Song" Main Quest, the Flight Range's Updrafts will always regenerate Link's Stamina.
