Warping

,   also known as Teleportation, is a recurring ability in. New additions to the series often bring newer methods of warping. In all cases, warping is the fastest mode of traveling across the land and sea. No physical or magical explanation is usually offered for these mysterious portals and songs. Series: goes unnamed in.

A Recorder will warp to any dungeon that Link has cleared. If Link is facing North or East, he will warp to the next dungeon. If he is facing South or West, he will warp to the dungeon before the one he is at. The Recorder can also be used to reveal hidden secrets.

After obtaining the Power Bracelet and the ability to push boulders around, Link can access NaN Warp Halls that can warp him to other NaN Warp Halls across Hyrule. The Old Man inside the cave offers 3 paths. The stairways and where they lead to are always set and not chosen randomly, although there is no visible indicator of which stairway takes Link where.

This Super NES title returned warping to series after a notable absence in. Instead of the Recorder in, the Flute takes the same role, calling upon a bird to carry Link to different locations across Hyrule. Playing the Flute by the Weathercock in Kakariko Village will release the Flute Boy's Bird. Blowing into the wind instrument will summon this Bird, who will carry Link to any of the following places:


 * 1) Near the Mountain Cave on Death Mountain
 * 2) The Magic Shop
 * 3) By the Weathercock in Kakariko Village
 * 4) Link's House
 * 5) South of the Eastern Palace
 * 6) An outcropping at the southwest of the Desert of Mystery
 * 7) The Watergate at the Great Swamp
 * 8) The southeast side of Lake Hylia
 * 9) On the eastern side of Death Mountain, on top of the rock that mirrors ALttP: (only in the Game Boy Advance version)

Link cannot use the Flute in the Dark World normally, but he is able to use it after defeating Agahnim in Ganon's Tower to transport directly to the Pyramid of Power. He cannot do this again, however.

Whirlpool Waterways
Similar to the warp caves in the original, Whirlpool Waterways will allow Link to travel from various bodies of water once he has Zora's Flippers. While the majority of these are in the Light World, some exist in the Dark World.

Magical Warp Tiles
Reaching the Dark World is also done via warping, using Warp Tiles. These are usually hidden under Rocks in various places across Hyrule, and there are eight in all.

The gateway of Hyrule Castle will also warp to the Dark World after overthrowing Agahnim.

To travel back from the Dark World, Link must use an item called the Magic Mirror. Doing so leaves behind a small sparkling portal that he can use to return to the Dark World at any time. Also new to the series, Link is able to warp to the entrance to a dungeon at any time by using the Magic Mirror.

Teleportation Panel
NaN Teleportation Panels also offer a new twist to complicated dungeon mazes. Stepping on one warps Link to another room in the dungeon, often with choices of other warp tiles to go through. This seemingly simple innovation proved complex to navigate, often disorientating Link by transporting him to a seemingly similar room on the other side of the dungeon. Inactive, gray versions of the Teleportation Tile serve as warp target locations. The warped-to tile will be inactive thus preventing Link from going back easily.

Warping on the relatively small Koholint Island is minimal but still functional for rapid travel. The warp pads in the dungeon's mini-boss room, which only appears once the mini-boss is defeated, along with its counterpart at the dungeon entrance, debuted with this title.


 * Playing Manbo's Mambo will warp Link to Manbo's Pond near Crazy Tracy's Health Spa.
 * Manbo's Mambo will also warp to the dungeon entrance when played inside of dungeons.
 * In the Nintendo Switch remake, playing Manbo's Mambo will warp Link to any of the active Warp Holes.
 * Warp Holes can be found on elevated platforms at various points across the overworld. They can be used to warp Link to the next warp hole he has seen, in a specific sequence. LADX Warp Hole Sprite.png
 * Warp Hole Locations
 * Ukuku Prairie
 * Tal Tal Mountain Range
 * Tal Tal Heights
 * East of the Bay

The title of this game is the instrument used for warping, as well as other magical effects such as acting as the key to open the Door of Time and solving certain puzzles. The main new feature to using an instrument to warp is the use of multiple songs to get to specific locations, usually warping to the entrances of temple dungeons, including the Temple of Time. The feature thus far is unique to this title. This title also debuted the ability to warp through time as opposed to only warping through space, although by using the Master Sword rather than the Ocarina (except at the end, when Princess Zelda uses it for this purpose). A third method of warping is available through the spell Farore's Wind.

The primary method of warping in is by using the OoT3D:. Link learns several songs such as the Minuet of Forest that warp him to a special pad in front of the song's corresponding temple; i.e. the Nocturne of Shadow will carry him to the Shadow Temple, and so forth.
 * Minuet of Forest - warps Link to the Sacred Forest Meadow.
 * Bolero of Fire - warps Link to the Death Mountain Crater.
 * Serenade of Water - warps Link to Lake Hylia.
 * Requiem of Spirit - warps Link to the Desert Colossus.
 * Nocturne of Shadow - warps Link to the Kakariko Graveyard.
 * Prelude of Light - warps Link to the Temple of Time.

There is also a Spell that can be found known as Farore's Wind. When used, it will place a "marker" at the door of the most recently traveled-through entrance. Upon being used again, it will carry Link back to that marker. This is a useful tool as it can also warp Link out of locked rooms and escape from difficult enemies, such as the dungeon's boss or mini-boss. It can also be used to warp from one dungeon to another, if a warp point was set and Farore's Wind was later used. It cannot be used to warp between Child Link dungeons and Adult Link dungeons, however.

Drawing the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time will warp Link 7 years into the future. Replacing the sword warps back 7 years. Link's age will change from a child to adult and vice versa in this warping system. This would be the first time-warping used in series.

Due to the unusual nature of Saving in, the primary use for warping tends to be getting to a save point. The game may be saved once at any of the owl statues, which serve as warp destination points; as well as returning to the First Day. Although the Ocarina of Time returned, the warping function reverted to having only one song which allows for selecting a specific warp destination from a map. It did, however, gain the ability to warp through time as well as space.

Not long into the game, Link learns the Song of Soaring, which can be used to take Link to any Owl Statue that he has marked with his sword. It is the only song Link needs for warping to specific locations, unlike in where he had several songs. Once the song is played, the map screen will appear showing an owl icon in the areas Link had activated them. Link simply selects an area, and warps.

The complete set of warp locations is as follows:
 * South Clock Town to the west side of the Clock Tower
 * Milk Road near the fork in the road
 * Southern Swamp outside of the Swamp Tourist Center.
 * Woodfall on the shrine outside of the Woodfall Temple
 * Mountain Village near the northern side of the map close to Don Gero
 * Snowhead at the bottom of the path leading to the Snowhead Temple
 * Great Bay Coast at the bottom of the ladders to the MM3D:
 * Zora Cape
 * Ikana Canyon, the upper part
 * Stone Tower

The Ocarina of Time's other function returns Link to Clock Town on the Dawn of the First Day when playing the Song of Time. This is the only form of warping with a cost. All Rupees and item stocks will be depleted upon returning to the First Day, although Link can save Rupees at the Clock Town Bank.

There are also pads at the entrances of the four dungeons within the game. If Link has defeated the boss of that dungeon once before, Link will be have the option of warping right to the boss room and fighting the boss instantly. This can save time instead of going through the troubles of the temple once again.

Gale Seeds have the ability to warp Link to any of the Mystical Trees, Trees bearing Mystical Seeds. As ammunition from the Seed Shooter or Slingshot, Gale seeds will send common enemies away.


 * Gale: Tarm Ruins, Sunken City
 * Pegasus: Spool Swamp
 * Scent: North Horon
 * Mystery: Woods of Winter
 * Ember: Horon Village


 * Gale: Symmetry Village (present), Zora Village
 * Pegasus: Rolling Ridge (past)
 * Scent: Crescent Island (present), Ambi's Palace (past)
 * Mystery: Rolling Ridge (past), Deku Forest (past)
 * Ember: South Lynna (present) / South Shore (past) (these are actually at the same location, but their names are different)

Time Warping
The Harp of Ages and its songs warps Link through time. This works similarly to warping from the Dark World to the Light World in : via warping Link to the same map coordinates the item is used. The Tune of Echoes, the first tune learned, will open up sleeping time portals, whereas the Tune of Currents which is learned later will instantly warp Link to the present day regardless of where he is. Only the Tune of Ages can warp Link to any of the two time eras, anywhere. In the case of the Tune of Currents and Tune of Ages, a sparkling warp point will also stay and remain from where Link was standing when he first warped in. Standing on this will send Link back or forward.

Portals
Hidden portals, in will warp to Subrosia. The portals in Subrosia also return to Holodrum. There are seven portals between the two worlds.

In a linked game, a warp portal will appear near the Maku Tree. This portal leads to an extra mini-dungeon with the real final bosses.

In, there exist Warp Zones that the Links may stand on to use. Warp Zones come in sets, with as many Warp Zones as there are Links present. Each set will teleport the Links to a different floor of a Stage when all of its Warp Zones are occupied. An exception is the Chambers of Insight, where the southernmost Warp Zones will return the Links to the Stage selection map.

features more warping utilizing the game's titular item, the Wind Waker. After obtaining the bow, Link can face any of the larger cyclones and shoot Cyclos, who is hiding within the cyclone. If three successful hits are achieved, Cyclos will submit to Link and teach him the Ballad of Gales, which allows Link to harness the power of the cyclones and travel to one of several squares of the map, and is in fact the only way to get inside the Mother and Child Isles. Every island in the Great Sea, except for Thorned Fairy Island, is within one square of one of these warp points; the Forsaken Fortress and the nearby Star Island and Four-Eye Reef may also be considered exceptions, since the Mother & Child Isles warp point only takes Link inside the island.

A glowing ring of light appears centered in the waters before the Tower of the Gods which serves to warp Link and the King of Red Lions to a path leading to Hyrule Castle.

The different warping places are as follows:
 * B7 - Outset Island
 * D6 - Southern Fairy Island
 * D2 - Windfall Island
 * B2 - Mother & Child Isles
 * F2 - Dragon Roost Island
 * F6 - Forest Haven
 * E4 - Tower of the Gods
 * B4 - Greatfish Isle
 * C3 - Tingle Island

Within many dungeons there are also pots with fogs of various colors. These are known as Warp Jars. These jars are often covered by wooden planks to prevent usage, but these planks can be removed with the use of a bomb. The cycle is green, blue, yellow. The yellow pot is usually right outside the boss room. If one of the pots is still covered, that pot is skipped in the cycle.

The Savage Labyrinth has Pillars of Light that serve as a warp spot. Warping back to the entrance is the only possibility. This dungeon does not allow Link to warp to any previously cleared areas.

One notable semi-warp system from the setup of Four Swords Adventures is the ability to choose which stage to play at any time after completing levels. Otherwise, the game prominently features Moon Gates and Moon Pearls as connections between the Dark and Light Worlds. Enchanted Pits in some cases serve the same purpose as a Moon Gate by sending Link to the Dark World counterpart of the area.

Several areas contain warping systems that send the Links back to set points. These enchanted areas are listed below. Also returning in certain areas are Whirlpool Waterways.

brings back the Ocarina warping system from with the Ocarina of Wind. Finding and activating any of the many Wind Crests around Hyrule will shatter the stone, leaving only a symbol in its place, and sets the spot as a warp point. Once obtained, the Ocarina of Wind can be used to summon Zeffa the bird to carry Link to any of the activated Wind Crests.

The different Wind Crest locations are as follows:
 * TMC:
 * TMC:
 * TMC:
 * TMC:
 * TMC:
 * TMC:
 * TMC:
 * TMC:

Other, different warp pads also appear within dungeons, similarly to the Game Boy and Game Boy Color games of past. A blue warp pad will appear at the entrance and in the mini-boss room once said mini-boss is defeated. Using the newly found warp tile will activate its counterpart near the entrance to the dungeon. Once both are activated warping will be unrestricted between the two. A red pad will appear at the entrance and in the room right before the dungeon's boss. As with the blue one, using it causes its counterpart to appear near the entrance; thus allowing free travel between the two. These are useful to prepare for a boss fight and return close enough to retain health and stocked inventories. Green warps only appear in the boss room after a boss has been defeated, and warp Link back to the entrance. Green warps are one-way only.

After fusing Kinstones with the member of the Wind Tribe found in Hyrule Castle Town a warp pedestal will appear just North of Link's house. This warp portal leads to the Wind Tribe's tower in the Cloud Tops.

The largest overworld of series would be expected to employ a powerful warping system. delivers via Midna's help and a function to warp otherwise immovable objects far across the Hylian landscape.

In, Shadow Beasts appear at key locations across the landscapes of Hyrule. Defeating each of the groups of Shadow Beasts will create a Portal near their location, which Midna can then utilize to warp Link and herself across Hyrule. Very large objects can be transported in this manner.

The complete set of warp locations is as follows:
 * Ordon Spring
 * Southern Faron Woods
 * Northern Faron Woods
 * Sacred Grove
 * Kakariko Village
 * Kakariko Gorge
 * Death Mountain
 * Bridge of Eldin
 * Zora's Domain
 * Upper Zora's River
 * Castle Town (Outside)
 * Lake Hylia
 * Gerudo Mesa
 * Mirror Chamber
 * Snowpeak

Ooccoo and Ooccoo Jr. are characters in, however they can be obtained as a temporary item if found. They can warp Link out of the dungeon, and return later to the room that he warped from. This item works very much in the same fashion as the Warp Jar found in. Ooccoo is removed from Link's inventory upon completion of the temple he found her in.

The Great Fairy offers to warp Link back to the Cave of Ordeals entrance or to any of the Fountains in which she has sent fairies to. This power is not unexpected from such a magically powerful person. This option, only available every 10 floors, is the only way to get back out of the cave if Link does not have the proper tools or enough health to continue.

When in a dig cavern, Link can climb onto a rock where a beam of light shines, and will then appear above ground. This is similar to the way hidden grottos work in.

In, each dungeon contains a portal of blue light in the penultimate room, just before the boss's room. Once Link reaches the room, he can read a tablet which reveals two connected lights, one near him and one at the beginning of the dungeon. Stepping into this portal lets Link warp back to the other light of the dungeon, either in the first or the last room.

The Temple of the Ocean King employs a unique Warping system due to its clock-based nature. Throughout the temple, there are blue warp portals (much like in other temples without the ability to return), which are usually located near chests containing pieces of the Sea Chart. However, once Link reaches a certain point in the temple, he gains access to the golden portal. Stepping into this sends Link back to the entrance, much like the blue counterparts, only it saves the time he used to reach it. Thus, Link can use the portal to skip halfway through the temple, at the cost of taking away the time in the Phantom Hourglass originally used to get to said point.

also features a system of warping across the PH: similar to, although instead of using the TWWHD: baton to summon cyclones, PH: uses the PH: obtained from the PH: of PH:. There are a total of six Symbols which can be drawn, and are each learned from NaN Golden Frogs shot down by the PH:'s PH: throughout the seas.

The in-game NaN Sea Charts feature the ability to notate the symbols at their respective warp points; one of the key ways of interacting with 's stylus-based system. Drawing a symbol on the PH: will warp PH:'s ship to the location of the PH: that taught him that symbol. The symbols must be drawn in one stroke without lifting the stylus from the screen. There is no penalty if an invalid or inaccurate symbol is drawn.

The complete list of PH: locations is as follows:
 * Southwestern Sea
 * Midway between PH: and PH:.
 * North-northwest of PH:.
 * Northwestern Sea
 * Southwest from the port of PH:.
 * Southeastern Sea
 * North-northwest of PH:.
 * West-northwest of PH:.
 * Northeastern Sea
 * Outside of both rock circles, north-northwest of the first of the bottom three small sea stones.

Battle Mode
Most of the Battle Mode Stages are symmetrical rooms with a set of staircases at opposing points; even though the stages take place in single-storied rooms. The staircases serve as warp points between one another. All of the staircases are surrounded by walls and Safe Zones. For this reason, only Link is capable of using the stairways to traverse from one side of the room to another.

employs a new system of warping in the overworld. Scattered throughout the four realms are a total of 16 Spacetime Gates. All Spacetime Gates come in pairs: one with a green Force Gem at the top, and one without it. When Link encounters a gate with a Force Gem, he must activate it by blasting the gem with the Cannon, turning the Force Gem yellow and thus allowing the young hero to travel between the two at any time, in either direction. To utilize them, the Spirit Train's whistle must be blown as they are approached, which will cause a yellow portal to open.

In the first part of the Dark Realm, there are similar warp portals at the edges of the realm that, when Link goes through them, transport the Spirit Train to another section of the realm. These are necessary in order to collect the Tears of Light that are scattered throughout which are used to defeat all of the Armored Trains in the realm.

[[SS -]]
Though there is no actual method of warping from location to location in SS undefined, Link's manner of transportation depends entirely on his Loftwing. As the Surface and the Sky are separated by a Cloud Barrier, Link must obtain the three Ancient Tablets and place them above the altar inside the Statue of the Goddess. Each tablet will create an opening in the cloud barrier, marked by a Column of Light the color of the corresponding region. Throughout each province are Bird Statues set in key locations; once Link has activated a bird statue, it will appear marked on his map. Afterwards, whenever Link must travel from Skyloft to one of the three provinces, he will be able to reach different locations according to each activated statue.

Besides that, after obtaining three parts of Song of the Hero, Groosenator can be used for fast transportation from Sealed Grounds to various minigames both on The Surface and in The Sky. In some cases this way of travelling can be faster than using Loftwing, but main downsides are its one-way nature and limited set of destinations.

SS - also features alternate dimensions known as the Silent Realms, where Link must undergo a test in order to grow spiritually and earn a sacred treasure. Each realm is accessible through a portal called the Trial Gate. After playing the corresponding song, petals will grow around the gate mark. Once petals completely surround it, the Trial Gate will fully activate, and Link must thrust his sword into the center of the gate mark to be transported to the Silent Realm. Link is only able to use the Trial Gates once, for he has proven his spiritual growth. However, he will be able to access the Silent Realms in Lanayru's Lightning Round.

In, Weather Vanes scattered across Hyrule and Lorule serve as both check points and warp destination points. Soon after completing the Eastern Palace, Link will meet Irene the witch, who will give Link a bell. This bell can then be used to call the young witch while in the overworld and warp to any Weather Vane that has been activated. Irene can not be called in dungeons, houses or caves. After Irene is transformed into a painting and kidnapped by Yuga, she will not appear on her broom anymore, but this is merely a cosmetic change.

The list of locations in Hyrule that Link can warp to using the Bell is:


 * Link's House
 * Kakariko Village
 * ALBW:
 * ALBW:
 * Witch's House
 * House of Gales
 * Death Mountain (Hyrule)
 * ALBW:
 * ALBW:

The list of locations in Lorule that Link can warp to using the Bell is:


 * ALBW:
 * Blacksmith
 * ALBW:
 * Dark Palace
 * ALBW:
 * ALBW:
 * Graveyard
 * ALBW:
 * ALBW:
 * Death Mountain (Lorule)
 * Treacherous Tower
 * Lorule Castle
 * Ice Ruins

In addition to this, teleportation tiles return in certain dungeons, where they serve the same purpose as in. Portals leading back the dungeon's entrance also appear after the dungeon's miniboss has been defeated.



In, warping primarily involves Triforce Gateways and occurs when the Links stand together on the three floor tiles representing the pieces of the Triforce. The heroes use the Triforce Gateways inside Hytopia Castle to warp to the Level of their choosing, as well as to warp between the segments of each Level or the Floors of the Den of Trials. After collecting their rewards from the Treasure Chests at the conclusion of each Level, the Links return to Hytopia Castle by warping, strangely without the use of a Triforce Gateway.

In, any Ancient Shrines and Sheikah Towers that Link activates can be warped to, even if he does not complete the Trial inside. Befitting the size of the overworld being greater than any other in the series, there are as much as 120 Shrines (124 if DLC included) to make it easier to travel. Also, Link can warp to the Shrine of Resurrection.

Once Link successfully boards a Divine Beast, he will activate the Travel Gates within, allowing him to leave the Beast via warping, and reenter in the same way. Once the Beast has been calmed and settles to aim at Hyrule Castle, Link can no longer warp into its interiors, instead appearing near it.

The Akkala Ancient Tech Lab and the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab can be warped to once the Furnace at each is lit with Blue Flames.

While inside Hyrule Castle, Link can warp outside to the front entrance.

A DLC exclusive item, the Travel Medallion, allows Link to place a travel point virtually anywhere, allowing him to warp there anytime. Only one travel point may be placed at a time.

An Ocarina located in the fourth level will warp Link to any completed dungeon, and thus works exactly like the Recorder. When the Ocarina is played while facing West, it will warp Link to the next dungeon. If played while facing East, it will return Link to the previous dungeon. The Ocarina can also be used to reveal a few hidden secrets within the game.

Enchanted Areas
The wrong direction in many enchanted areas will warp Link back to the entrance, unless he knows the specific directions or the trick to get through.
 * Lost Woods . As well as its counterpart, the Mysterious Woods.
 * Wind Fish's Egg - Another seemingly endless maze. Specific directions must be found in the library.
 * Haunted Wasteland - Use the Lens of Truth to follow the spirit guide.
 * Gerudo's Fortress/Pirates' Fortress - If Link gets caught by a Gerudo soldier or defeated by a Gerudo Swordswoman, he will be sent back to a prison or out of the area.
 * Woods of Mystery - Follow a monkey to find Koume.
 * Pinnacle Rock - Follow the seahorse after retrieving it from the Fisherman at Great Bay.
 * The final dungeon of a linked or  game has rooms with statues rolling their eyes. The eyes will not look in the direction one must travel.
 * Ganon's Tower - Follow Phantom Ganon's fallen sword hilt to the Light Arrows.
 * Cave of No Return of begins with such an area requiring alternating paths to get through.
 * Hebra's Hill in, the old man advises Link to know where he wants to go to get through. Very simple since Link needs to reach the top.
 * Desert of Doubt blows the Links back to set points such as the Gerudo Village, unless the instructions on the tablet are heeded. The only way to progress is to travel into the oncoming winds.
 * Royal Valley woods - Read the signs or follow Dampé's instructions.
 * Snowpeak Base - Follow the Reekfish Scent as Wolf Link.
 * The Phantom Hallway on Isle of the Dead - Learn the correct path from the Sages.
 * Chasing the PH: - Restore Ciela's memory and all three servant Spirits will blink when the SS Linebeck is headed directly toward the Ghost Ship.
 * Sand Realm - Reverse the Spirit Train back through the tunnel from which it came until it arrives in the Ocean Realm.

Dungeon Warping

 * Dungeon Warp Tiles serve as an interactive maze in many dungeons. These tiles test a hero's mental powers. The Tower of Hera prominently features warp tiles. Note: This is similar to the mini-boss and Boss room warping tiles. The difference is that the exit points and entrance points are often in rooms with no further way out.
 * Often after slaying a dungeon boss, Link will be warped outside.
 * Wallmasters and Floormasters grab Link and frequently drag him back to the entrance. This is rarely used by a player's own free will.
 * Usually when Link falls down a bottomless pit or into lava, he will be warped to a nearby location, either the entrance he used to get into the area or simply the bank he fell off of.
 * In the LANS: in, the room after the dungeon's mini-boss, Smasher, has a northern door that, when entered, warps Link to a similar room further south in the dungeon.
 * Onox's Castle contains rooms with open doorways seemingly to allow Link to pass attacking enemies. The Northern door will return Link to the same room, the left and right doorways, after being unlocked again will return Link to the castle's entrance.

Overworld and Miscellaneous Warping

 * There are several overworld warps in : one between Zora's Domain and Lake Hylia, one between the Lost Woods and Zora's Domain, one between the Lost Woods and Goron City, a one-way trip from Lake Hylia to Hyrule Castle Town via Kaepora Gaebora, and a one-way trip from the top of Death Mountain to Kakariko Village via Kaepora Gaebora. Only the two warps that are connected to the Lost Woods are available to Adult Link.
 * Cyclos- Defeat Cyclos with the arrows for him to calm down and his whirlwinds will no longer warp the King of Red Lions and Link far away.
 * Big Octo - If Link has yet to receive the boomerang from the Forbidden Woods, or if he is too slow to defeat one, a Big Octo will warp Link and the King of Red Lions far away.
 * Stealth - If Link gets caught by a guard, he will be warped to a different location.
 * Getting a Game Over as well as saving and restarting the game will warp Link to a certain place in the game.
 * At the end of each stage in FSA, the Links appear to warp into thin air.

Trivia

 * In both the Great Sea of and the World of the Ocean King of, Link is given the power to warp by  given by frog-like creatures, Cyclos and the Golden Chief Cylos.
 * In, the tune that is played on the Ocarina of Wind is the same tune that the Recorder played in.
 * Late in each game in the 3D series, Link will be able to warp to almost everywhere on the map, leaving Epona seemingly useless as a mode of transportation.
 * In, if Link uses one of the warp songs while on a timer, it will run out instantly to prevent shortcuts.
 * In SS undefined, Bird Statues have a similar role to the Owl Statue and Song of Soaring combination of, in that Link can choose to which statue he or she wishes to descend, although he still has to fly to each region beforehand. Also, the statues within each dungeon will teleport Link to the entrance.
