The '''Wind Shrine''',{{Ref|TWW|444|Sign on Dragon Roost Island}}{{Ref|TWW|1805|[[Medli]]}} also know as the '''Wind God's Shrine''',{{Ref|name=ritoquote|TWW|1746|[[Kogoli]]}} is a small isle that can be found at the back of [[Dragon Roost Island]]. It is the location of two monuments; these monuments honour the Gods of Wind, [[Zephos]] and [[Cyclos]]. However, Cyclos' monument was broken, causing him to become angry and caused the winds to become crazy and unpredictable, when they used to be nice.{{Ref|TWW|1745|Kogoli}} The [[Rito]] honor the gods by always going down and visiting the shrine before taking off to the skies.{{Ref|name=ritoquote}} [[Link]] can choice to visit the Wind Shrine either before entering the [[Dragon Roost Cavern]] or after. It is not required to visit the shrine before the dungeon, but Link must go there after completion of the dungeon before he heads off to the [[Forest Haven]].

The first time Link enters the shrine, he can walk up to the monument on the left, and take out his [[Wind Waker]]. By playing it as directed on the left monument, he learns the [[Wind's Requiem]], the tune that allows Link to change the direction of the wind anytime he wants, to whatever direction he wants. After the cutscene of the wind changing direction is finished, [[Zephos]], the God of Wind, appears next to Link. He introduces himself, and acknowledges Link as the new Wind Waker.{{Ref|TWW|1780|Zephos}} He says that for a beginner, Link has a nice wind-sense about him.{{Ref|TWW|1781|Zephos}} He further explains the use of the Wind's Requiem as a tune that can be used to gain control over the direction of the wind.{{Ref|TWW|1782|Zephos}} He tells Link of his brother, [[Cyclos]], who was so upset that his monument was broken that he used his power to create cyclones, which he uses to torment people.{{Ref|TWW|1784|Zephos}} Before he leaves, he tells Link that his final request to him is to chastise Cyclos if he ever sees him at sea.{{Ref|TWW|1785|Zephos}} With that, Zephos flies off into the sky, and is never seen again.
