Wing is a type of [[Zonai Device]], which can be found in [[Zonai Capsule]]s from [[Device Dispenser]]s or [[Treasure Chest]]s; or lying around in the overworld. If removed from a capsule, they cannot be returned to it, although they can be [[fuse]]d to weapons or shields.
Wings are unpowered Zonai Devices. When launched into the air, they can glide for some time if Link stands on the balance point. He can steer by moving to either side; or adjust speed and height by moving forward and backward. It can also be combined with other Zonai devices to power it - for instance, the [[Autobuild]] [[Schema Stone]] Link receives in the [[Great Abandoned Central Mine]] is for a "[[fanplane]]", a wing with three [[fan]]s attached to speed it up - or a [[Steering Stick]] to make it easier to direct.
 
Launch rails exist on many [[Sky Island|sky islands]], including [[Great Sky Island]], which allow a wing to launch smoothly at speed. In the absence of these, or if the rails end in a steep rise, launching an unpowered wing successfully can be difficult. Attaching a [[cart]] to allow it to roll - as demonstrated in [[Jirutagumac Shrine]] ("A Flying Device"), which serves as a tutorial for the wing - can help with this, as can [[sled]]s in conditions not suited to wheels. Attaching [[rocket]]s or fans can also sometimes make launching easier by giving them the thrust to overcome initial resistance.
 
After flying for some time, wings will begin to flash green. This is a warning that they are about to abruptly disappear, dropping anything or anyone on top to the ground.
 
As with all Zonai devices, wings can be found in [[Zonai Capsule]]s from [[Device Dispenser]]s or [[Treasure Chest]]s; if removed from a capsule, they cannot be returned to it, although they can be [[fuse]]d to weapons or shields. They are also one of the most common devices found in Zonai armories in the [[Depths]], or lying around on sky islands or near sky debris.
