Wind Temple

The, also known as the Stormwind Ark, is a recurring Series: and Series: in.

The Earth Temple and the Wind Temple were built in order to protect the Master Sword's power to repel evil, by means of providing a place for the two Sages to conduct their prayers to the Golden Goddesses. The prayer song for the Sage of Wind was the Wind God's Aria. When Ganondorf escaped to the surface of the ocean, he sought to remove the power to repel evil from the Blade of Evil’s Bane. In turn, he invaded the Wind Temple and killed the Sage of Wind, the Kokiri known as Fado. It was here that Fado's spirit lingered on, awaiting the time when a new Hero bearing the Master Sword would come with a successor Sage to destroy the evil that now haunted the temple.

Entrance to the TWWHD:
Link came with Fado's successor, the Korok known as Makar, who bore a violin identical to Fado's. Together, Link and Makar play the Wind God's Aria to destroy the TWWHD: that blocks the entrance to the Wind Temple.

However, Makar is abducted by Floormasters within the temple, but he is eventually rescued by Link when he discovers the Hookshot after defeating a Wizzrobe within the temple’s depths, using it (alongside his Iron Boots) to free Makar from his cell. The pair then continues on through the vast chambers of the temple until they finally discover the deepest chamber, the chamber of the Sage shrine. Link enters the chamber and confronts Molgera, using the Hookshot and the Master Sword to damage the great sandworm’s weak spot: its tongue. After dealing Molgera its deathblow, Makar enters the shrine and plays the Wind God's Aria while Link conducts with the Wind Waker, causing Fado’s spirit to reappear one final time and play along with them. This action restores the Master Sword to its full power and finally frees Fado of his obligations, allowing him to finally rest in peace. Makar remains within the temple shrine and sends Link back above ground, now armed with a fully-powered Master Sword, to confront Ganondorf.

Themes and Navigation
The Wind Temple appears to be a forest-themed dungeon in addition to its wind-related theme. Makar, the Sage of Wind, is himself a forest-dwelling creature (as was his predecessor, Fado), and his planting of small trees throughout the temple only adds to the forest-related atmosphere of the temple. The dungeon is filled with various traps (Spike Traps amongst them) and wind-related puzzles. The dungeon's primary chamber is a long, cylindrical shaft several stories tall that extends deep down into the temple's depths and has small sections that branch off the main shaft, at the bottom of which is a large propelling fan that periodically turns on and off after being reactivated.

Link makes constant use of several tools within this temple, primarily the Hookshot, the Iron Boots, and the Deku Leaf. As Link and Makar make their way through the temple, they will encounter several NaN Stone Tablets similar to the one encountered at the entrance, which can only be destroyed when the young duo play together the Wind God's Aria. The Command Melody is also heavily used in this dungeon to take control of Makar, who can reach some locations that Link himself would otherwise find difficult to reach. While controlling Makar, the Korok can plant trees in certain spots that will allow Link to hookshot to them and thus allow him to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Within the dungeon, Link must face a Wizzrobe as a mini-boss in order to claim the dungeon's treasure, the Hookshot. Meanwhile, in the deepest recesses of the temple's depths, Link must face the great sandworm Molgera as the temple's boss, a battle which requires extensive use of the Hookshot in order to exploit Molgera's vulnerable tongue.

The TotK: is a TotK: spoken of in TotK: legends known as the TotK:. Due to its elevation, a TotK: envelops the TotK:, and several chunks of TotK: can be found throughout it. It is surrounded by NaN Flying Ships, which can be used to navigate the air around the TotK:. The TotK: heavily relies on aerial navigation as well as the use of TotK: in order to move things around. Occasionally, it is necessary to use TotK:'s ability to merge NaN Objects together in order to move them around.

The TotK: is separated into three main floors: TotK:, TotK:, and TotK:. The first floor, TotK:, features a terminal that opens a hatch on the deck of the TotK:. However, it is sealed by five locks that resemble turbines. When TotK: and TotK: arrive, they are greeted by the disembodied voice of the TotK:, who instructs them to use TotK:'s TotK: in order to activate the locks and release their respective seals on the hatch. TotK: contains two locks, TotK: contains another two, and TotK: contains just one.

Trivia

 * According to the King of Red Lions, the Wind and Earth Temples once had two entrances: one in Hyrule and one in the mountaintops of Hyrule, which are now the islands above the sea; however, the entrance to the temples from Hyrule were blocked by Ganon's magic.
