The stage is unique in many ways. One of the most obvious is that it is primarily sidescrolling, unlike most levels where a top-down view is used. When the [[Link]]s enter a door the perspective still returns to normal, but in the main room it is only viewed from the side and they cannot use battle formations. The whole stage is about climbing up ten floors to the very top of the tower using ladders that appear or can be accessed only after solving certain puzzles on each floor.

Due to its location in Frozen Hyrule, there is ice in many of the areas, including one large frog-like ice mound that must be melted with the [[Fire Rod]] to proceed. Icicles also fall from the ceiling in select places. There are also some colored blocks that only one color of Link can push. Interestingly, a stone tablet can also be found with the advice of a previous adventurer, explaining how one can break cracked blocks by striking them forcefully from above.{{Ref|FSA|634|Stone Tablet}}

Interestingly, the Tower of Winds is one of the only two stages in the whole game to have more than one [[Blue Bracelet]]. Two of them are hidden in the tower. The first one is on the third floor below a Roc's Feather, and the second is on the fourth floor past colored blocks and to the left.

Enemies are not extremely common in the Tower of Winds. The Force Gem Knights and Stalfos usually appear after standing on box switches. Zols are seen on both the first floor and during the [[Mini-Boss|mini-boss]]. Frosteyes are also seen in the mini-boss and are summoned by [[Frostare]], the stage's [[boss]]. There is only one Anti-Fairy guarding a Roc's Feather, and the Bombchus and Keese appear in a single room together. The Mega Thwomps are only found on the fourth floor.
