Wind Temple

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker guide · After awakening Makar

Link navigates the Wind Temple alongside the Korok sage Makar, using Makar's ability to plant trees and fly over obstacles to advance. Together, they activate a massive central updraft fan and unlock deeper chambers to reach the temple's boss. Defeating Molgera restores the power to repel evil within the Master Sword.

Tips

Equip the Iron Boots when walking through strong wind tunnels or when pulling down spring-loaded switches to prevent being blown backward.
Use the Command Melody to take control of Makar so he can fly across gaps and plant seeds in soft dirt patches to grow trees and unlock doors.
If Makar is captured by Floormasters and locked in a jail cell, you must locate the switch to free him before you can complete the temple.
Use the Hookshot to attach to Makar's planted trees to pull Link across large chasms.
