{{Term/Store|Warping||Series}} is a recurring ability in {{TLoZ|Series}}.{{Fact}} 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.

After obtaining the [[Power Bracelet]] and the ability to push boulders around, Link can access certain stairwells that warp to others 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.

The gateway of Hyrule Castle will also warp to the Dark World after overthrowing Agahnim.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=Once you have overthrown the wizard Agahnim, you can also enter the Dark World from the entrance of Hyrule Castle.|game=A Link to the Past|page=27}}</ref>

===Teleportation Tile===

The Teleportation Tile also offers 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.

*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.<ref>{{Cite|'There are some Warp Holes on Koholint Island. You can warp to and fro using these holes. If you jump into the Warp Hole at which you arrived, you will go to the next one in the sequence. You can only warp to a hole you have seen with your own eyes...' |The Properties Of Warp Holes |LADX}}</ref>[[File:LADX Warp Hole Sprite.png|right]]

The primary method of warping in {{OoT}} is by using the {{OoT|Item}}.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=With the Ocarina, you can also warp to other places.|game=The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|page=23}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=Playing certain tunes can warp you to different places.|game=OoT|page=30}}</ref>

[[File:Soaring.jpg|thumb|left|[[Song of Soaring]]]][[File:MM TimeWarp.png|thumb|[[Link]] warping to 1st Day]]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.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=And when you play the Song of Soaring, which you will learn at some point in your quest, you will be able to warp to areas where there are Owl Statues.|game=Majora's Mask|page=40}}</ref> It is the only song Link needs for warping to specific locations, unlike in {{OoT|-}} 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 are as follows:

*[[Great Bay Coast]] at the bottom of the ladders to the [[Marine Research Laboratory]]

*'''Gale:''' [[Symmetry Village]] (present), [[Zora Village]]

*'''Mystery:''' [[Rolling Ridge]] (past), [[Deku Forest (Oracle of Ages)|Deku Forest]] (past)

*'''Ember:''' [[Lynna City|South Lynna]] (present) / [[South Shore]] (past) ''(these are actually at the same location, but its name has changed)''

[[File:Oracle of Ages - Harp of Ages.png|left]]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 {{ALttP|-}}: 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.

[[File:TWW Wind Waker Render.png|60px|left]][[File:HyruleCastleLightRing.jpg|thumb|right|Warp portal from Great Sea to Hyrule]]{{TWW}} features more warping utilizing the game's titular item, the [[Wind Waker (Item)|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.

The [[Savage Labyrinth]] has Pillars of Light that serve as a warp spot. Warping back to the entrance is the only possibility. This dungeon doesn't 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 Gate]]s and [[Moon Pearl]]s 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.

<nowiki>The different Wind Crest Locations are as follows:</nowiki>

*Hyrule [[Hyrule Castle Town|Castle Town]]

*South [[Hyrule Field]]

*[[Minish Woods]]

*[[Mount Crenel]]

*[[Lake Hylia]]

*[[Castor Wilds]]

{{Image|image=TPTwilightPortalBlue.png|size=140px|align=left|caption=A usable [[Portal (Object)|Portal]]|captionalign=center}}

In {{TP|-}}, [[Shadow Beast]]s appear at key locations across the landscapes of [[Hyrule]]. Defeating each of the groups of Shadow Beasts will create a [[Portal (Object)|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.

[[File:Warping Locations TP.jpg|thumb|right|The warping locations]]

The complete set of warp locations are as follows:

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 doesn't have the proper tools or enough health to continue.

[[File:Goldenfroglocations.gif|right|250px|thumb|The [[Golden Frog]]s locations]]

{{PH}} also features a system of warping across the Great Sea similar to {{TWW}}, although instead of using the Wind Waker baton to summon cyclones, [[Link]] uses a [[Cyclone Slate]] obtained from the [[Golden Chief Cylos]] of [[Uncharted Island]]. There are a total of six [[symbols]] which can be drawn, and are each learned from [[Golden Frog]]s shot down by [[Linebeck]]'s ship cannon throughout the seas.  

The [[World of the Ocean King]] map features the ability to notate the symbols at their respective warp points, one of the key ways of interacting with {{PH|-}}{{'}}s stylus-based system. Drawing a symbol on the slate will take Link to the location of the frog that taught him that symbol. The symbols must be drawn in one stroke without the stylus mistouching the screen. However simple it may be, random failure can be expected but there is no penalty.

The complete list of Golden Frog locations are as follows:  

**Midway between [[Mercay Island]] and [[Isle of Ember]].

**North-northwest of [[Molida Island]].

**Southwest from the port of [[Bannan Island]].

**North-northwest of [[Dee Ess Island]].

**West-northwest of [[Isle of Frost]].

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 Zone]]s. For this reason, only Link is capable of using the stairways to traverse from one side of the room to another.

[[File:Trial Gate.png|left]]

{{SS|-}} also features alternate dimensions known as the [[Silent Realm]]s, where Link must undergo a test in order to grow spiritually and earn a sacred treasure.<ref>{{Cite|This is the nature of places known as Silent Realms. They are domains of the spirit, accessible only to the goddess’s chosen hero.|Fi|SS}}</ref> Each realm is accessible through a portal called the [[Trial Gate]]. After playing the corresponding [[Sacred Songs|Sacred Song]], petals will grow around the gate mark.<ref>{{Cite|Something here is reacting to our performance of Farore’s Courage. I have confirmed the appearance of a strange mark on the ground. I calculate a 90% possibility that this mark is a Trial Gate...|Fi|SS}}</ref> 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 (Dragon)|Lanayru]]'s [[Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round|Lightning Round]].

*Chasing the {{Term|PH|Ghost Ship|link}} - Restore [[Ciela]]'s memory and all three [[Servant Spirits]] will blink when the [[S.S. Linebeck]] is headed directly toward the Ghost Ship.

*Dungeon Warp Tiles serve as an interactive maze in many dungeons. These tiles test a hero's mental powers. The [[Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)|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.
