Uses and Location
The "Ballad of Gales" is taught to Link by the Wind God, Cyclos.[2] He teaches it to Link after shooting an Arrow at him while caught in one of his cyclones, which can be found at the Mother & Child Isles, the Northern Triangle Island, and the Shark Island. The song allows Link to warp to one of following islands of the Great Sea:
- Mother & Child Isles

- Dragon Roost Island
- Tingle Island
- Greatfish Isle
- Tower of the Gods
- Southern Fairy Island
- Forest Haven
- Outset Island
The "Ballad of Gales" is also required to obtain the Fire and Ice Arrows from the Fairy Queen in the Mother and Child Isles.
