Zephos (brother)

Cyclos is one of the two frog-like Wind Gods in The Wind Waker.

Overview

Cyclos has a brother named Zephos, who is another frog-like wind deity. The two each have monuments found at the Wind Shrine, located at the back of Dragon Roost Island. Each monument has a song engraved on them. However, Cyclos' monument was destroyed, which has angered Cylos. In a fit of rage, Cyclos began to place cyclones all across the Great Sea to torment other people.[1]

Link is able to fall victim to his furious cyclones, which blow Link to another area of the Great Sea. Cyclos floats on a cloud at the top of his giant cyclone, impervious to all attacks except one. Link is able to strike Cyclos with the Hero's Bow, acquired in the Tower of the Gods dungeon. When Link encounters Cyclos, he must shoot arrows at him through the raging winds in order to stop his rampage and calm him down. However, if Link is unfortunate enough to not have the Hero's Bow yet, he will be blown away to another area of the Great Sea.

When Link defeats Cyclos, he ceases his giant cyclone and floats down, apologizing for his rage. He then points out that Link carries the Wind Waker. Impressed, Cyclos' attitude changes, and he teaches Link the Ballad of Gales. When played, the Ballad of Gales gives Link the ability to call for Cyclos' cyclones to warp him to certain locations on the map of the Great Sea. The song is only usable when Link is on the King of Red Lions and out on the Great Sea. The Ballad of Gales is great for quickly navigating the Great Sea, but is also the only way to get to the inside of Mother and Child Isles.
