Changes: Magical Warp Tile

Revision as of 07:30, 15 March 2016

Template:Dungeons The House of Gales is a dungeon in A Link Between Worlds. It is one of the earlier dungeons located in Hyrule. The Flippers and Tornado Rod are required to access it, and its boss is Margomill.

Entrance to the Dungeon

The House of Gales (along with the Template:C) can be accessed after completing the first dungeon, Template:C. The dungeon is found in the center of Lake Hylia in southeastern Hyrule. To enter it Link needs the Flippers, obtained from Oren after returning the stolen Smooth Gem, and the Tornado Rod, which can be rented from Ravio's Shop for 20 Rupees.

Themes and Navigation

Link travels to the House of Gales in order to acquire the Pendant of Wisdom. A number of new enemies are encountered inside, such as Bubbles, Baris and Heedles, the latter being the dungeon's mini-boss. Navigating the House of Gales requires extensive use of the Tornado Rod. It must be used to hover onto moving platforms and travel on wind currents created by fans. These must be activated by hitting stepping on Floor Switches or striking Crystal Switches with the Bow, Boomerang, Hookshot or Bombs. The fans are used to ascend floors and to hover across gaps. However, they can be dangerous as some lead to pitfalls. The House of Gales also contains a few fire hazards – the first of the game. They can be extinguished using the Tornado Rod or the Ice Rod.

The boss of the dungeon, Margomill, is fought on a platform above a large pit. Link must use the Tornado Rod to defeat it. Afterwards, he acquires a Heart Container and the Pendant of Wisdom.

Items

The Compass is in the western room of the first floor. It can be accessed by Wall Merging onto the vertically moving red block and then unmerging on the northernmost platform that it reaches. The Big Key can be found on the southeastern outer wall of the dungeon, accessed by dropping down from the southern central platform on the second floor. The chest will appear after activating the Pull Lever on the far right.

Trivia

The House of Gales and Lorule Castle are the only dungeons in A Link Between Worlds that do not have counterparts in Template:ALTTP.
- The dungeon does, however, shares some similarites with the Misery Mire dungeon from A Link to the Past, such as requirement of a device with aerial and wind powers in order to enter them both (the Tornado Rod and Ether Medallion, respectively) and bosses composed primarily of a single large eye. In addition, the Misery Mire was the only dungeon to be removed between the two games, and the House of Gales the only one added in A Link Between Worlds.

+The '''House of Gales''' is a dungeon in {{ALBW}}. It is one of the earlier dungeons located in [[Hyrule]]. The [[Flippers]] and [[Tornado Rod]] are required to access it, and its boss is [[Margomill]].

-The '''Magical Warp Tiles'''<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=Magical Warp Tiles|game=A Link to the Past|page=30}}</ref>, or simply '''Warp Tiles''' (and also known as '''Magical Transporters''') are mysterious portals that transport anyone brave or foolish enough to stumble into them to the evil [[Dark World]]. There are eight of them in all.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=There are eight magical tiles which are entrances to the Dark World that was sealed by the Wise Men long ago.|game=A Link to the Past|page=30}}</ref> Due to the efforts of [[Agahnim]] in sending the [[Maiden]]s to the Dark World, he also manages to open a similar portal to the Dark World at the gateway to [[Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)|Hyrule Castle]].
+The House of Gales (along with the {{c|Tower of Hera|albw}}) can be accessed after completing the first dungeon, {{c|Eastern Palace|albw}}. The dungeon is found in the center of [[Lake Hylia]] in southeastern Hyrule.

+Link travels to the House of Gales in order to acquire the [[Pendant of Wisdom]]. A number of new enemies are encountered inside, such as [[Bubbles]], [[Bari]]s and [[Heedle]]s, the latter being the dungeon's [[mini-boss]]. Navigating the House of Gales requires extensive use of the Tornado Rod. It must be used to hover onto moving platforms and travel on wind currents created by fans. These must be activated by hitting stepping on [[Floor Switch]]es or striking [[Crystal Switch]]es with the [[Bow]], [[Boomerang]], [[Hookshot]] or [[Bomb]]s. The fans are used to ascend floors and to hover across gaps. However, they can be dangerous as some lead to pitfalls. The House of Gales also contains a few [[fire]] hazards – the first of the game. They can be extinguished using the Tornado Rod or the [[Ice Rod]].
-Most are hidden underneath [[rock]]s, but the one at the peak of [[Death Mountain]] is open and easily stumbled into. Those who walk through these portals are transformed into a shape that reflects their heart by the power of the [[Triforce]]. This is usually that of a monster or animal.<ref>{{Cite web|quote=By sending the maidens that were descendants of the sages to the Dark World, Agahnim opened a pathway to the Dark World. Whoever stepped on the magic squares that worked as an entrance would go astray in the Dark World and their body would turn into a monster. Link, who had the makings of a hero, didn’t become a monster, but he his body turned into an animal (a bunny).|author=Snow|published=January 15, 2012|retrieved=August 30, 2012|url=http://www.glitterberri.com/hyrule-historia/page-95/|title=Pg. 95 The Princess of Light (Continued)|site=Glitterberri's Game Translations}}</ref> Not only this, but these warps are one-way; there is no way for normal people to return from the Dark World due to the seal of the Seven Sages. Only [[Link]] is able to return, using the [[Magic Mirror]]. By using the [[Magic Mirror]], Link will leave behind a sparkling gate at his return location that will allow him to transport back to the Dark World.
+The boss of the dungeon, [[Margomill]], is fought on a platform above a large pit. Link must use the Tornado Rod to defeat it. Afterwards, he acquires a [[Heart Container]] and the Pendant of Wisdom.
-The eight Warp Tiles are found across Hyrule:
-*On [[Death Mountain]] next to [[Spectacle Rock]], south of the [[Tower of Hera]]
-*Near a [[Fairy Fountain]] due south of the [[Eastern Palace]] ([[Magic Hammer]] and [[Power Gloves]] required)
-*In the northwest corner of the [[Great Swamp]] (Magic Hammer and Power Gloves required)
-*North of [[Kakariko Village]], on the verge of the [[Lost Woods]] (Magic Hammer and Power Gloves required)
-*On the island containing the [[Pond of Happiness]] at [[Lake Hylia]] ([[Titan's Mitt]] required)
-*On a small outcrop in the southwest corner of the [[Desert of Mystery]] ([[Flute]] and Titan's Mitt required)
-*On the lower eastern side of Death Mountain, near the broken bridge (Magic Hammer and Titan's Mitt required)
-*At the far east side of Death Mountain, on top of the rock that mirrors [[Turtle Rock (A Link to the Past)|Turtle Rock]] in the Dark World (Magic Hammer and Titan's Mitt required)
+===Items===
-To retain his normal form after passing through a Warp Tile, [[Link]] will have to obtain the [[Moon Pearl]].
+The [[Compass]] is in the western room of the first floor. It can be accessed by [[Wall Merging]] onto the vertically moving red block and then unmerging on the northernmost platform that it reaches. The [[Big Key]] can be found on the southeastern outer wall of the dungeon, accessed by dropping down from the southern central platform on the second floor.

-*The Magical Warp Tiles represent the first time Link is able to warp from one world to another in the series. The Warp Tiles have gone on to directly inspire other such methods of warping, such as the [[Moon Gate]]s in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', the portals to [[Subrosia]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', and even the [[Pedestal of Time]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', among others.
