Tower of Winds

The Tower of Winds is a massive tower that was created and upheld by Vaati’s dark magic. It served as a passage stretching up to the Realm of the Heavens. The Tower of Winds however could only be accessed when the four Royal Jewels were placed in there pillars in the Four Sword Sanctuary, located near the base of the tower. Once one reached the top of the tower, they could walk off of the tower and stand on the cloud tops in the Realm of the Heavens and reach the Palace of Winds, where Vaati resigned.

Journey for the Tower of Winds
In the Four Links quest to save the Seven Maidens from Vaati, Link had to venture into the Tower of Winds in order to save the last of the maidens, Princess Zelda. The tower had however vanished long before Link and the other maidens had arrived. Link needed to find the last of the Royal Jewels to make the tower reappear. Link having finally collected the last gem in Frozen Hyrule went through the Ice Temple and into the Four Sword Sanctuary and (with the help of the Maidens) placed the Royal Jewels on the four pillars.

Dungeon
After the tower had reappeared Link went up into the tower. The Four Links slowly began climbing up the top of the tower. As he began to climb, he had to use several items such as the Fire Rods, Slingshots, and Roc’s Feathers to help reach the top. Just before reaching the top, Link encountered the dungeons boss Froststare. Link using Roc’s Feather jumped up and destroyed the bats surrounding Froststare before attacking the monster itself. Link using a down stab knocked Froststare off of the ceiling. Froststare then began to desperately fly around trying to damage Link, but Link was able to overcome the boss and eventually stabbed it so many times that Froststare exploded. Link was then able to free Zelda from the tower with the help of the Four Sword. Link and Zelda then went on to the Realm of the Heavens to purge Vaati and his army from Hyrule for good.

Colapse
Having finally defeated Vaati, the Palace of Winds along with the Tower of Winds began to collapse. Princess Zelda and Link then began to descend down the tower in order to escape before it collapsed. As they went down through the tower they encountered several monsters that attacked them. This surprised Zelda because the monsters couldn’t be summed by Vaati. When they finally reached the ground floor they ran for the exit, but the Tower of Winds collapsed before they could reach it. Both Zelda and Link fell through the floor and plummeted into a chamber below the tower. There Zelda encountered Ganon, the King of Darkness.

Final Battle
Zelda tried to seal him with her magic, but he overpowered and imprisoned her. There he meet with Link and the two engaged in a battle. After exchanging blows on both sides Ganon was momentarily stunned long enough for her to escape and aid Link in the battle. She then gave Link a Bow and told him to fire at Ganon when she used her magic against him. Ganon then fired several energy balls at them, but Link was able to reflect them back at him. Ganon was left stunned and Zelda used fired her magic at him. Link then fired this bow at Zelda’s magic creating Light Arrow’s that sealed up Ganon. The seven maiden then entrapped the sealed Ganon within the Four Sword. After the battle had ended the Maidens, Zelda and Link left for the Four Sword Sanctuary to return the Four Sword into its pedestal.
