Windblight Ganon killed [[Revali]] during the Great Calamity, taking control of Vah Medoh for Calamity Ganon, eventually serving as boss of the dungeon when [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] came to free it of Ganon's control 100 years later. If Link doesn't fight Windblight Ganon inside of Vah Medoh, he will later encounter the boss in the [[Sanctum]] inside of [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], being the first Blight that Link faces there.

If Link is having difficulties aiming, it is viable to use the updrafts situated around the rooms and prepare an aerial attack by drawing his bow whilst in mid-air, allowing for more precise aiming, however this technique can't be utilized if Link is fighting Windblight Ganon in Hyrule Castle, since no updrafts are present. Finally, once at 10% health, Windblight Ganon might resort to using a fully-charged Guardian laser. If it does do this, Link can dodge it by jumping to the side, running away, or he can attempt a Perfect Guard to deflect the beam, which will create an opening for attack.

====Phase 2 Skip====
It is actually possible to skip Phase 2 of the fight entirely, but this is extremely difficult, as Windblight Ganon must be reduced all the way to 0 HP from above the Phase 2 threshold in a '''single frame'''. Difficult as it is, if an enemy is hit by Stasis+ and then multiple attacks are dealt to them while under the effect of [[Stasis]]+, all damage they would've taken during Statis+ will be dealt to them, instantaneously. Thus, it becomes possible for multiple hits to be dealt in the same frame to Windblight Ganon, and possible for those hits to rack up enough damage.
Because Statis+ will wear off on Windblight Ganon extremely quickly, the primary method to rack up enough damage on Windblight Ganon is to get in midair for bullet time and spam enough bow shots to deal enough damage. Depending on the circumstances in which Windblight is being fought, this may take anywhere from 800-2000 damage to kill the boss in one go; regardless, the best way to rack up that damage is to use a 5-shot [[Savage Lynel Bow]] with [[Ancient Arrow]]s, [[Ancient Proficiency]] and a Lv3 Attack Up meal. If enough damage has been dealt, the upon the expiration of Statis+, Windblight Ganon will instantly die; he will still do his Phase 2 transition, but the fight will end as soon as that cutscene ends.
Additionally, an alternative method for skipping Phase 2 of the Windblight fight exists if Windblight is the first of the four Blights to be fought, and is fought in [[Divine Beast Vah Medoh]], giving it its lowest possible HP pool of 800. In this scenario, it is actually possible for a single hit to deal more than 400 damage with a sufficiently powerful weapon, skipping Phase 2 entirely if enough damage was done during Phase 1 without outright ending Phase 1. With Ancient Proficiency, a Lv3 Attack Up meal and a [[Critical Hit]] (caused by throwing a melee weapon), an Ancient-type weapon with 50 base attack or a Guardian-type weapon with 57 base attack can deal more than 400 damage when thrown, such that Phase 2 can be skipped if Phase 1 is carefully damaged down for a finishing throw. Notably, an [[Ancient Battle Axe++]] deals 421 damage when thrown (requiring Windblight take 379-399 damage beforehand), an Ancient Battle Axe++ with a maximum +15 might modifier deals 526 damage (requiring 274-399 damage beforehand) and an [[Ancient Bladesaw]] deals 445 damage (requiring 355-399 damage beforehand). Other Ancient- or Guardian- weapons can suffice, but great care must be taken not to deal too much damage to Windblight before moving in for the kill, as otherwise Phase 2 will commence and landing a weapon throw will become difficult or unnecessary.
