Breath of the Wild

Wind Switches are pieces of Ancient Technology, found within Ancient Shrines. They can be activated using the wind of a Korok Leaf, which will cause them to spin. When active, a Wind Switch can open portcullises. In several Ancient Shrines, multiple Wind Switches need to be activated in order to create a change in the environment.
