'''Cyclones''' are recurring obstacles and usable gimmicks. They are represented by a swirling wind of varying size. Sometimes, [[updraft]]s form similar structures, but are substantially less powerful and never treated as an obstacle.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', a small cyclone is summoned when Link blows on the [[Recorder|Whistle]]. It takes Link between the entrances to various [[Labyrinth]]s.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', small cyclones appear when Link uses [[Gale Seed]]s or sometimes [[Mystery Seed]]s. The main purpose of these is to warp Link between seed trees, similar to the first game. Since the ''Oracle'' games were initially conceived as a reimagining on the original, this may have been intentional. Additionally, in the former game, [[Onox]] uses a cyclone to scatter the [[troupe of performers]] and abduct [[Din (oracle)|Din]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass]]'', cyclones again first appear as sea obstacles. Initially, one is travelling back-and-forth along the northern edge of the [[Southwestern Sea]]. Trying to pass it will result in another spawning on top of the ship, tossing it away, meaning they must at first find another way around. Once the [[Northwestern Sea]] is reached, this cyclone disappears. Another cyclone suddenly appears when traveling to [[Goron Island]], soaking the ship engine and making it so [[Massive Eye]] has to be fought while immobile. Finally, a cyclone blocks the passage to the [[Isle of Ruins]] until the [[Regal Necklace]] is brought before it, at which point it will dissipate. This cyclone is the only one visible on the map. Additionally, '''mini cyclones''' appear as minor obstacles, and can damage the ship if they catch it. They can be dissipated by hitting them twice with the cannon, possibly in reference to an old sea myth. Even smaller cyclones appear during the battle with [[Cyclok]], who rides one and spits out others. Aside from obstacles, cyclones can again be used for traveling, via the [[Cyclone Slate]] obtained from [[Golden Chief Cylos]].

In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (comic)|comic adaptation]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'' by [[Shotaru Ishinomori]], a cyclone suddenly appears while Link is flying over the [[Desert of Mystery|desert]], destroying his makeshift wings and forcing him to take the rest of the journey on foot, severely taxing him.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. (game)|Super Smash Bros.]]'', a small cyclone appears as an obstacle at [[Hyrule Castle]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a large one appears on the [[Tetra's ship|Pirate Ship]] stage, tossing the ship into the air. Both stages return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
