Zephos is a character in The Wind Waker.[2]

Biography

Zephos is the wise and kind God of Winds.[3] He has roamed his home, Dragon Roost Island, for years watching over the wind and awaiting the arrival of the new Waker of the Winds.[4] Zephos has a brother, Cyclos, who has been tormenting people with cyclones ever since his monument was destroyed.[5] It is Zephos's monument in Dragon Roost Island that has the Wind's Requiem inscribed on it, allowing Link to learn the melody and take control of the direction of the wind.
