Weather Vane

Weather Vanes, also known as Weathercocks, are recurring objects in.

The Weathercock appears in the center of Kakariko Village. If Link plays the Flute while standing near it, the weathercock will shatter and a bird will emerge from inside the statue. If Link plays the Flute again the bird will fly by and carry Link to one of eight different locations. In the Dark World, the Weathercock is replaced by a Gargoyle Statue; the statue is the entrance to Thieves' Town, where the fourth Crystal is located.

A single Weathercock appears in Mabe Village. When Link learns the "Frog's Song of Soul" from Mamu he must play the song in a hidden room under the Weathercock to revive the Flying Rooster. There is also a missable photo in in which the Weathercock is visible.

In, Weather Vanes serve as save points and are located at landmarks around Hyrule and Lorule similar to SS undefined's Bird Statues. Weather Vanes are found outside each dungeon and at other commonly visited locations, such as Ravio's Shop and Kakariko Village. After Link meets Irene, she will offer to transport Link to the location of any Weather Vane previously activated should the young hero ring a Bell.

Hyrule Warriors
In, Weather Vanes resembling the ones in appear as icons whenever the Warriors have reached a checkpoint, allowing them to resume from that moment onward should they lose to the opposing Forces.
