What is Winds Awaken?

An ocean-spanning adventure inspired by the timeless charm of The Wind Waker and the cozy spirit of A Short Hike.

Set sail across a vast ocean dotted with mystical floating islands. Each island is a handcrafted platforming challenge filled with collectibles, hidden paths, and breathtaking scenery. Master the winds, unlock the Phase Shift ability to transform into a wind spirit, and discover the secrets that bind these islands together.

With 60 levels spread across 6 unique biomes — from sun-kissed tropical beaches to the fiery heart of volcanic mountains — every island tells a story.
