{{Term/Store|Cyclok||Series, PH}} is the second [[Boss]] in {{PH}}.<ref name="E 172"/>

As [[Link]] climbs to the top of the [[Temple of Wind]], strong gusts from an unknown origin delay his progress. At his destination, the door shuts behind him, and a flying [[Octorok]]-like monster riding a tornado descends to fight. The monster is the boss, which appears to face the Hero.

While fighting Cyclok, any one of three points on the area's floor will be covered with a small tornado. Throwing a [[Bomb]] into one of these cyclones will send the explosive flying upwards and if one of these Bombs hits Cyclok, he will be temporarily brought to the ground. While his foe is stunned, Link can make multiple damaging sword slashes or Bomb throws on the monster before it recovers flight. The monster's main method of attack is to dive towards Link, but all the hero can do to avoid this is walk out of the way. Cyclok's second attack involves spitting miniature tornadoes in Link's direction, which will cause damage on impact. Much like the cyclone that normally appears in the arena, Cyclok's projectiles can be used by Link to launch Bombs. Once Link defeats the Stirrer of Winds, he acquires more [[Sand of Hours|sand]] for the [[Phantom Hourglass (Item)|Phantom Hourglass]] and a [[Heart Container]]. By slaying the monster and destroying its seal, Link frees and earns the accompaniment of the Spirit of Wisdom, [[Neri]].

In the {{PH|Himekawa}}, Cyclok appears and captures the young girl that Link and his companions found on the [[Isle of Gust]]. [[Linebeck]] grabs a [[Bomb Flower]] to avoid being being sucked by the monster's winds, which results in the Bomb exploding. This gives Link the idea to use Bombs against Cyclok.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= I know...

*In {{TWW}}, the {{Term|TWWHD|Air Valve|link}} that guards Gale Isle bears a resemblance to Cyclok.

*The mark on Cyclok's head is the same design as the [[Wind Element]] from {{TMC}}.

*In {{HH}}, concept artwork for Cyclok was incorrectly labeled as a standard Octorok.

 

The name Cyclok is a portmanteau of ''cyclone'' and ''[[Octorok]]'', another enemy from ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. The french name Poulpatine is a pun on Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars.
