Weather Vanes

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.

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.

The first vane stands beside your own house, which the warp map calls Your House. It is the quickest warp point when you want to rent or buy gear at Ravio’s Shop.

This vane stands in the centre of Kakariko Village, next to the Street Merchant. Use it as your base for the village shops.

You activate the Sanctuary vane at the Sanctuary, in the earliest part of the story.

Find this one at the Witch’s House, near Zora’s Domain.

The Hyrule Death Mountain vane sits where the climb begins, which makes it the natural return point after the Tower of Hera.

The vane outside the Eastern Palace is one of the first you can activate.

Cross Lake Hylia to the island dungeon to reach this vane. It saves a long swim whenever you return.

Climb Death Mountain to the Tower of Hera and activate the vane outside it.

The last Hyrule vane stands outside the Desert Palace, which becomes available once the Thieves’ Hideout is done.

This vane stands by the Vacant House, the dark twin of your home. It is a handy warp point for the south of Lorule.

You wake up in the Lorule Blacksmith’s house, and the vane is just outside. Warp here to reach the Blacksmith when you carry Master Ore.

You can activate this vane in Thieves’ Town.

Lorule’s Graveyard has its own vane, mirroring the Sanctuary area in Hyrule.

Lorule’s Death Mountain is cut off from the rest of the kingdom, and you reach it through a fissure from Hyrule. You arrive beside this first vane.

A second Death Mountain vane stands in front of the Treacherous Tower. It is the warp point for the Treacherous Tower courses.

This vane stands outside the Dark Palace.

Activate it outside the Swamp Palace.

It stands outside the Skull Woods dungeon.

The Misery Mire vane is out in the desert-swamp region of Lorule.

The Turtle Rock vane stands outside the dungeon.

This vane is outside the Ice Ruins.

The last vane stands in front of Lorule Castle, your final save before the castle.
