Previous Chapter Recap: Last time on A Link Between Worlds. Having recovered from his fight with Yuga at the Eastern Palace, Link came home to find that Gulley had kidnapped by Yuga as he was a descendant of the Seven Sages. Now with a more personal motivation to stop the sorcerer's plans, Link came to the aid of the Zora queen who in return gave him the ability to swim. He now seeks the next pendant located in the House of Gales.

Link had made it to the lake where the House of Gales was. The House of Gales was a large stone building with twin windmills. on a small island. He put on his new flippers and swam to the island where the house was. Immediately after getting in the water, he was attacked by hostile Zora. The Zora spat fireballs at him, but Link ducked under the water to avoid getting burned. Eventually, he reached the island where the house was. When he got to the gate, he saw that it was locked tight. He then noticed two stone pedestals with inscriptions that looked just his Tornado Rod. In between the pedestals were small coverings. He used his Tornado Rod to remove the coverings, revealing a small switch. He pressed it and the gate opened.

Link headed inside the House and saw six pots in front of him. He used his Tornado Rod to remove the pots, uncovering another switch. Pressing the switch, he activated the twin fans in the back of the room. He used his Tornado Rod to propel himself up and let the air current carry him onto the top portion of the room. He then went into the next room, which was much larger. The most notable feature in the room was the large fan. Link went to the left and went down some stairs before going through the door on his right and into the lower part of the room. He hit the nearby switch to cause the wall to lower a bit.

With the wall lowered, Link used his new bracelet and melded into the wall to reach the other side of the gap. He went into the next room, only for the door to shut behind him. At that moment, the three skulls in the room came to life and lit themselves aflame. Link knew there was no way he could fight them without getting burned, but that's when he got an idea. He pointed his Tornado Rod at the three skulls and sent a large gust of wind at them, extinguishing their flames. He then threw a bomb at them to finish them off. With them gone, a treasure chest appeared containing a small key. He took the key and left the room.

Back in the main room. He made his way to the left of the room where the locked door was. He opened the door and went into another room filled with gaps and moving platforms. Using his wall merge ability, Link carefully navigated the room until he made it to the other door. There he saw a switch. He pressed it to activate the fan on the wall in case he ever had to come back to this room again. Back in the main room on a grating. Link tossed a boomerang at the switch to activate the large fan in the center of the room. He then pressed another switch to activate the fan on the wall. Link next used his Tornado Rod to ride the air current to the other grate. Link hopped into the large fan and was carried into the second floor.

Link made his way across the metal grating, using his Tornado Rod to avoid the spiked roller. He saw another switch on the ground and pressed it, causing a small key to appear. As there was no way to get it from his current position, Link left it alone for now and headed into the next room. He made his way through the other door and found himself back in the main room with the key right next to him. He tossed a boomerang at it and it captured the key, returning it to him. He went through the other room and back in the main room, using the key to open the locked door

Link found himself outside the house. He jumped down to his left and saw two levers. He pulled the lever on the left and flames appeared. He doused the flames with his Tornado Rod and pulled the lever on the other side, causing a large treasure chest to appear. He opened the Treasure chest and in it was the Big Key. He was then surrounded by flames as two Armos Statues came to life. Link used his Tornado Rod to extinguish the flames and stun the statues before finishing them both off with a bomb. He went through the door and back through the main room. He went back outside and jumped down to his right. He pulled the switch on the farthest of the ledge to cause the platform to begin moving.

Timing it right, Link used his Tornado Rod to jump onto platform to the other grating with a locked door. He then used his wall merge to travel along the wall to another grating on wall with a switch on it. He pressed the switch to cause a small key to appear, surrounded by a ring of flames. He extinguished the flames with his Tornado Rod and grabbed the key before using it to unlock the door. He then found himself locked in with two Heedles, lizards that could light themselves on fire, leaving a trail of flames wherever they walked. Link used his Tornado Rod to extinguish their flames and threw bombs at them to finish them off. With those two dispatched of, the door opened.

Link went through the door and through the lower portion of the main room to another room. This room had various switches and fans. Link saw that he had to carefully choose which switch to press to proceed through the room. He first pressed the switch furthest from him, letting the air current carry him to the other ledge. He then pressed the switch on his left to let the air current carry him to where there were two switches. He pressed the switch on his left and let the air current carry him to the door.

Back in the main room, Link went up some stairs and reached another floor switch. He pressed it to deactivate the fans next to him. He dropped down to the ledge and wall merged to travel to the other side of the room. He then went up more stairs and made his way to the room on the right. As he went up the stairs, he threw a boomerang at a switch to activate the fan in the room and then dropped to the lower ledge where he was faced by an Eyegore. Link defeated the Eyegore with a well-aimed arrow to the eye before finishing it off with a bomb. He then stepped on the floor switch next to him to cause the platform to begin moving.

He rode the platform to a grating near the fan and then jumped into the fan to let him be carried into the third floor. Here, there were two gaps in the floor, and two fans blowing wind to impede his progress. Link melded into the wall to avoid the wind and left out of the room, where he was confronted by another Eyegore. He defeated the Eyegore and ignited the twin torches in the room to unlock the door to his left. He went through the door to find himself locked in a room with more flaming skulls. This room was much narrower due to the gap in the floor, but Link managed to defeat them all. With them gone, another treasure chest appeared. But as he couldn't get to it at the time, he left through the other door.

He then made his way through the room with the Big Door back into the room he started in. Only this time, he was near a treasure chest. He opened it to find another small key. He then melded into the wall to avoid the air currents and went back to the room where he defeated the Eyegore to unlock the door. He went through the door to find himself back in the room with the Big Door. Only this time he was in a position where he could reach the moving platforms. The platforms moved together as one, so Link waited until they came to a stop before jumping onto another.

Having reached the big door, he used the Big Key to unlock it and headed inside. He jumped down off a grate and saw that there was nothing in it. The floor was large and surrounded on all sides by a bottomless pit. "It's too quiet." he said to himself. At that moment, a monster appeared! It was a strange, seemingly mechanical beast shaped like a ring with a large, single eyeball. It spun around while releasing pockets of steam. "Beware, Link! That's the dreaded Margomill!" Sahasrahla's voice came.

"Sahasrahla?!" Link exclaimed. "Where are you?"

"I'm contacting you through telepathy." Sahasrahla replied. "I'm hear to warn you. That's the guardian of the House of Gales. You'll have to defeat him to obtain the pendant." Before Link could do anything, Margomill charged at the boy. Link dove out of the way, but the pocket of steam it blew nearly sent him to the edge of the platform. Margomill made another charge for the boy, but Link reflexively used his Tornado Rod to leap into the air. The tornado also stunned the mechanical beast, exposing its eye. Seeing his chance, Link landed on Margomill and slashed away at the monster's eye.

Margomill spun to shake Link off then summoned two layers under it to make itself taller. It then aimlessly spun around the room, attempting to knock Link into the chasm below. Trying to avoid being knocked away, Link slashed at the monster, attempting to segment its layers to bring its eye closer to attack it. Eventually, Link managed to get rid of both layers and expose its eye. He then stunned it with the Tornado Rod again and jumped on it to attack its eye once more. Margomill recovered and this time summoned four layers under it. It also began to spin around the room much faster.

Link tried his best to avoid getting thrown into the chasm but found it difficult to avoid the monster's rampage. Slowly but surely, he began to whittle the monster down, knocking away each layer until the eye was low enough to reach. Eventually the eye was exposed again. Link stunned it with the Tornado Rod and leaped on to Margomill to deliver a final stab to the eye. Margomill's body began to glow with bright light until it exploded in a puff of smoke. At that moment, a blue light began to appear on the ground and with it appeared a blue pendant bearing the symbol of Naryu, Goddess of Wisdom.

Link grabbed the pendant and put it on his neck with the Pendant of Courage. "Spectacular work, Link!" Sahasrahla telepathically said. "To defeat the guardian of the House of Gales and claim the Pendant of Wisdom, it seems the Princess was right about you. Maybe you have what it takes to save the kingdom after all."

"Thanks Sahasrahla." Link replied. "I couldn't have done it without you."

"There's no time to celebrate just yet, Link." Sahasrahla said. "Only one pendant remains until the Master Sword can be yours. The Pendant of Power resides in the Tower of Hera on Death Mountain. To reach Death Mountain, you will require help. Do you know of the miner Rosso?"

"Of course I do!" Link replied. "Ienzo hires him to find good ore for his forge."

"He is also one of the Seven Sages." Sahasrahla said. "Seek him out before traveling to Death Mountain. Now hurry, child! The fate of Hyrule is in your hands!"

"Don't worry! I won't let you down!" Link replied. He then found himself surrounded by a blue light and was soon teleported out of the House of Gales by Sahasrahla's magic.
