Template:Place The Cloud Tops are located in the northeastern quadrant of Hyrule in The Minish Cap, above Veil Falls.[1] They can only be accessed by the native Wind Tribe and "surface dwellers with pure heart".[2] The Cloud Tops surround the home of the Wind Tribe, who reside within the Tower of Winds.[3]
The Cloud Tops are accessed by climbing all the way to the top of Veil Falls and jumping into a wind vortex, launching Link into the sky. Upon landing on a cloud, two members of the Wind Tribe, Gale and her sister, Hailey, are seen attempting to reach the Tower of Winds.[4] Link must traverse the clouds seeking Golden Kinstones, which must be fused with five Mysterious Clouds to activate five small pinwheels located at the center of the Cloud Tops.[5] When all five of these pinwheels are rotating, they create a vortex, which flings Link to the Palace of Winds.
In this region, there are clusters of hard clouds that require the Mole Mitts to destroy, an item that is used frequently throughout the Cloud Tops. Link must use the many smaller tornadoes in the area to float to other cloud masses in the Cloud Tops region that are too far away to access through jumping.

Trivia
The music heard in the Cloud Tops is a mixture of a remix of the first Legend of Zelda's overworld theme, and the title screen music.
