UseWalk up to one to add it to your map; it is also a place to save
Fast travelRing the Bell from Irene outside a dungeon and pick any vane you have found
Get the BellFrom Irene on the shore of Lake Hylia

Weather Vanes are the statues where you save your game and, once Irene gives you her Bell, the places you can fly back to from anywhere outside a dungeon. There are 22 in total, nine in Hyrule and thirteen in Lorule. Walk up to each one so it is activated, because you can only fly to vanes you have already found.

Saving and fast travel

Weather Vane

Saving at a vane

Step up to a Weather Vane to save. The first time you reach one, a message tells you a new weather vane has been added to the map. After you collect a new Heart Container the vanes flutter and chirp when you are near, until you have saved.

Bell

Irene’s Bell

Irene is a young witch on a broom. She gives you the Bell on the Lake Hylia shore, and from then on ringing it summons her to fly you to any vane you have activated. It works anywhere outside a dungeon. The Bell drops you at a vane, so pick the vane nearest your goal and walk from there.
