Cyclos is a flying, magenta, frog-shaped wind deity from Dragon Roost Island in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. He is the brother of Zephos and had a similar monument at Dragon Roost Island, though upon his monument's destruction, Cyclos became wrathful and began attacking people across the Great Sea with his cyclones.
Cyclos's massive cyclones can be found near the Mother & Child Isles, Northern Triangle Island, and Shark Island. If Link gets close enough to one, a giant-sized Cyclos floats up the center of the vortex from the water. Link is given a short amount of time moving around the cyclone before it sucks him in and tosses him far away. If Link has the bow, he needs to shoot Cyclos three times before being sucked up. Once he does this, Cyclos is impressed and dispels his cyclone before shrinking down to normal size. Deciding that Link is worthy of the title of Wind Waker, he teaches him the Ballad of Gales by flying around to the correct positions. Once Link has successfully learned it, Cyclos says he is satisfied leaving his cyclones in Link's capable hands and decides to head for home, flying off into the distance.
