Wind Waker

The Instrument

The Wind Waker is a magical baton used by the Hero of Winds.

The Wind Waker is said to have the power to change the direction of the wind. Link used this to move around the Great Sea with much ease in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

The Wind Waker has other uses, including mind control and opening lost temples throughout the Great Sea.
