Navigate the windy Isle of Gust in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. This guide details defeating enemies, finding gems, and activating windmills to access the Temple of Wind.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After docking, head north and up the stairs. Defeat the Miniblins; the last one drops a Red Rupee.
  2. 2
    Go down the stairs to the east, kill the Chu-Chus, and go up another flight of stairs.
  3. 3
    When the wind isn't blowing, jump across gaps to a plateau full of Miniblins. Defeat them all for a Red Rupee.
  4. 4
    Continue east across the water, defeating Chu-Chus. Reach the far east and head down to another group of Miniblins. Defeat them for a Red Rupee.
  5. 5
    Grab a bomb plant and destroy the north wall. Head through the opening.
  6. 6
    Inside, find a chest with a Courage Gem and another journal. Note the map of the Northwestern Sea with an arrow and two X marks for uncharted islands; mark the X's.
  7. 7
    Head back east and up the stairs onto the mesa.
  8. 8
    Stand south of the stairs and wait for the wind to blow, then leap across the gap. Repeat for the next jump.
  9. 9
    Kill the Miniblins for another Red Rupee. Dig in the three ground holes for another Red Rupee each.
  10. 10
    Head inside the cave. Jump into the pit with Miniblins. Three specific Miniblins (first, third, and last killed) drop Red Rupees.
  11. 11
    After killing all Miniblins, a chest appears. Open it and the existing chest for a treasure map and a Wisdom Gem, respectively.
  12. 12
    Head outside. Kill Chu-Chus. Use rising gusts of wind to reach the top of the plateau.
  13. 13
    Use the wind to jump left, then kill the awaiting Miniblins.
  14. 14
    Go down three flights of stairs, then head north. The Temple of Wind entrance is blocked by strong winds. Mark the X on the nearby map.
  15. 15
    Head back down. Go south to a rising wind, take it up, and head north. Kill Chu-Chus, then go south.
  16. 16
    Jump down and kill more Miniblins. Use the Shovel to uncover a rising wind leading to a chest with a Power Gem.
  17. 17
    Head north. Use the Shovel to uncover a gust to the left (instead of the existing one) to go upward.
  18. 18
    Head up and then down until you reach another gust. Cover it with the Shovel and take the blocked path.
  19. 19
    Continue up and dig up a patch near the stairs for a Big Green Rupee.
  20. 20
    Head up the wind gust near the previous X. Check another map with three X's marking windmills. Mark them.
  21. 21
    Head down the cliff. Bury gusts to reach rocks, then clear them and head east into the sands.
  22. 22
    Walk slowly through the sand to avoid monsters. If detected, dash to high ground. If swallowed, rub the stylus quickly. Bombs can also defeat sand monsters.
  23. 23
    Head to the southeasternmost windmill and blow into the mic to activate it.
  24. 24
    Head west, killing or avoiding monsters, to the two western windmills. Activate them.
  25. 25
    Two doors will open, clearing the wind gusts from the Temple of Wind entrance. Head inside the temple.
