Farore's Wind is a recurring Spell in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]
Location and Uses[]
Ocarina of Time[]
In Ocarina of Time, Farore's Wind is received from the Great Fairy of Magic in Zora's Fountain,[2] hidden behind a destructible wall behind Lord Jabu-Jabu. Based on the Goddess Farore, the Spell can only be cast inside dungeons that have maps, as it allows Link to return to the entry point of that dungeon's room from which it was cast.[3] When used thereafter, Link is given the option to return to that Warp point, or to simply dispel it. Either way, Link will then be able to cast another Spell. With each creation of a Warp point, Link must spend 6 Magic Power, like Din's Fire. If he has no magic, he will be unable to cast Farore's Wind.
After being cast, the Hero of Time can use Farore's Wind to return to the dungeon it was cast in from any other location. However, Link as an adult is unable to return to Warp points created by Farore's Wind while he was a child, and vice-versa.
Unlike Din's Fire, similar to Nayru's Love, this spell is not required to complete the game.
Other Appearances[]
Super Smash Bros. Series[]
- See SmashWiki's articles on Farore's Wind for more information.
In the Super Smash Bros. series, Farore's Wind serves as Zelda's recovery move. When performed, a yellow loop surrounds Zelda, making her disappear afterwards. She then reappears in the direction held on the Control Stick, or up into the air if the Control Stick is not moved.[4] This move is also capable of going through solid ground, allowing Zelda to use it anywhere. The yellow loop that appears around Zelda is capable of damaging opponents that touch it. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, unlike Super Smash Bros. Melee, when Zelda reappears, Farore's Wind creates a small explosion, dealing damage to any nearby opponent.
Hyrule Warriors[]
In Hyrule Warriors, Farore's Wind appears as an Assist Badge in the Bazaar's Badge Market. When purchased for a Warrior, it decreases the time needed to capture a Keep for that particular Warrior.[5] It appears in three iterative Badge qualities: bronze, silver and gold; each providing a stronger effect than the one prior.
One of the attacks that Zelda can execute with her Rapier is summoning a great flurry of air, reminiscent of Farore's Wind. This, joined with her two other attacks resembling Din's Fire and Nayru's Love, appears to be a reference to Farore's Wind.
Trivia[]
- Though Farore's Wind doesn't appear in The Wind Waker, its name is inscribed on the base of Farore's statue in Hylian on Eastern Triangle Island.
