{{quote|''"Long ago, a storm was heading toward the city of Quin'lat. The people sought protection within the walls, all except one man who remained outside. I went to him and asked what he was doing. 'I am not afraid,' he said. 'I will not hide my face behind stone and mortar. I will stand before the wind and make it respect me.' I honored his choice and went inside. The next day, the storm came; and the man was killed. The wind does not respect a fool."''
|'''Kahless''', ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]''}}

This is another part of the [[Elemental Powers]], mainly dealing with '''{{color|springgreen|wind}}'''. It doesn't always mean [[Razor Wind]], but includes the power to manipulate winds, such as blowing the enemy away, creating tornadoes, or [[Not Quite Flight|used as a free]] [[Flight]] [[Not Quite Flight|power]]. Any character who uses this is almost guaranteed to land in the role of a [[Fragile Speedster]]. Sometimes, this power is a natural extension for those with [[Super Speed]], usually running around in circles very quickly to create a tornado.

May overlap with (or be the in-universe justification of) [[Make Me Wanna Shout|sound powers]] and [[Musical Assassin|deadly music]]. Often [[Wind Is Green|green]]. [[Wind from Beneath My Wings]] is a [[Sub-Trope]].

Also, compare [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]

Not to be confused with [[Blown Across the Room]].

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Temari of ''[[Naruto]]'', as well as Asuma and Naruto himself, though they focus more on the [[Razor Wind]] aspect. Also, {{spoiler|Danzo}}, who uses wind to create vacuums.
* [[Meaningful Name|Fuu Hououji]], [[Magic Knight]] of Wind from ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''.
* [[Meaningful Name|Fuuko Kirisawa]] from ''[[Flame of Recca]]'', using the wind Madogu Fuujin.
* Fuusuke of ''[[Ninku]]'' is the captain of all wind-using ninja despite only being 12.
* The [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Bleach]]'''s [[Filler|Bount arc]] had wind-based powers, up to and including a ''[[This Is a Drill|wind drill sword]]''.
** Also, Kensei from the Vizard. It is interesting to note that his release command is "Futtobase", or "Blow it away"
** Senna from ''Bleach: Memories of Nobody'' has a wind type Zanpakuto named Mirokumaru which can control wind and create tornados. She even [[Not Quite Flight|rides]] on top of a tornado at one point.
** In his Resurrección form, Privaron Espada 103, Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio, can release tornadoes/cyclones from his legs.
** Kyoraku Shunsui arguably has wind and shadow based abilities, but his gimmick isn't the element he wields, but their...ahem...unusual form:  {{spoiler|they are based on traditional children's games}}.
* ''[[Yaiba]]'''s [[Big Bad]], Onimaru, wields the power of the Fujin Katana, which allows him to use tornadoes, [[Razor Wind]], and mighty gusts of wind. Later, [[The Hero|Yaiba]] himself gain this power.
* The Windy card of ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''. [[First Installment Wins|By virtue of being the first card introduced]] and a powerful one to boot, it is essentially her signature card.
* Phoenix Ikki from ''[[Saint Seiya]]'' can create small tornadoes...on fire.
** His brother, Andromeda Shun, has more traditional wind powers, but he mostly uses his trusty chains in battle.
* Haruka, aka Sailor Uranus of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', though, since her attack is named "World Shaking", a lot of people mistake her powers for earth.
** According to [[Word of God|the artbooks]], so can Sailor Jupiter: she can create hurricanes and cyclones in the manga.
* Limdo/Uruki from ''[[Fushigi Yugi]]: Genbu Kaiden'' is known as the "Merciless Wind Slasher". [[Razor Wind|Guess what his signature power is.]] However, don't piss him off: after {{spoiler|suffering a [[Heroic BSOD]] when his bodyguard and lifelong companion Soren died in a [[Heroic Sacrifice]], he ''turns himself into a friggin' tornado''}}.
* Technically, anyone with any skill in ''[[Air Gear]]'' since all power is based on wind, but mainly Ikki, Ringo, Agito, and {{spoiler|Sora and Nike, after the former's [[Heel Face Turn]]}}.
* Jin of ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]''.
* ''[[Daimos]]'' has the attack 'Double Blizzard'. [[Gratuitous English|Despite the name]], it's a pair of tornadoes, not a pair of freezing blizzards.
* ''[[Combattler V]]'''s Super Electro Magnetic Whirlwind.
* Midori Sugiura's CHILD Gakutenou in the ''[[My-HiME]]'' anime (and Akane's in the manga).
* Cologne in ''[[Ranma ½]]'' teaches Ranma the Hiryu Shoten Ha (aka the Heaven Blast of the Dragon), a technique where a heated battle aura and an icy unemotional battle aura collide to produce a whirlwind.
* Hayate from ''[[Prétear]]'', the Leafe Knight of Wind.
* To some degree, Koushirou Chikuma from ''[[Basilisk]]''.
* [[Dark Action Girl]] Kagura from ''[[Inuyasha]]''. So very much [[Razor Wind]].
** Not to mention the titular character's Wind Scar.
* Seiichirou Aoki and Daisuke Saiki from ''[[X (manga)|X 1999]]''
* Negi of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' originally specialized in wind-based spells, though, more recently, he seemed to prefer [[Shock and Awe|lightning]].
* Eligor from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' can create a wall of wind that can trap enemies and even make an armor out of the wind.
** Also, Wendy, who is the adopted daughter of the Wind Dragon and, as such, is a Wind Dragon Slayer. She's focused more on buffs and healing, but the few offensive abilities she's shown certainly fit this trope.
* Belldandy in ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]''.
* Girouette (or Juliet, as spelled in Del Rey translation) from ''[[Sugar Sugar Rune]]''.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' has the spell Barrel Shot, which fires a burst of pressurized air at the target that deals no damage, but paralyzes them as a prelude for [[Wave Motion Gun|Excelion Buster]].
** In the ''[[PlayStation Portable|A's Portable: The Battle of Aces]]'' [[Fighting Game]], Shamal is revealed to use mostly wind spells if she's ever forced to go on the offensive, creating wind barriers and tornadoes of various sizes.
* This forms a major point in ''[[Windy Tales]]''.
* Kazuma Yagami from ''[[Kaze no Stigma]]'' is an incredibly powerful wind mage, partially (but not entirely) because he's one of the legendary Contractors who's formed a pact with the elemental god of wind. To put that in perspective, the members of the Kannagi Clan, including his cousin, Ayano Kannagi, are highly skilled users of [[Playing with Fire|fire magic]] because their distant ''ancestor'' was a Contractor with the elemental god of fire.
* The Ougi clan, and especially it's successor, Ougi Shichirou, from ''[[Kekkaishi]]'': [[Flight]] - check, [[Razor Wind]] - check, creating giant tornados - check, and once, he reduced a small shrine to dust in an instant using his wind powers.
* Erik the [[Filler]] villain from ''[[One Piece]]'' can grow claws and create tornadoes with them.
** Actually, that falls strictly under [[Razor Wind]]; the Devil Fruit he ate is the Kama Kama no Mi, or Sickle-Sickle Fruit, which lets him create wind as sharp as swords.
** Played straight with Franky, who can use his Cyborg enhancements to fire wind with the force of a cannonball.
** It speculated by fans that Dragon has an ability connected with controlling wind or weather. When he rescues Luffy in Loguetown he is accompanied by a strong storm that saves  {{spoiler|his son}} from Buggy and helps Straw Hats escape.  {{spoiler|Wind blows away flames, opening a path to his ship for survivors from the Gray Terminal as well.}}
* [[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'s 'ultimate' attack doesn't quite fit this trope, but it creates a gust of wind below him (those with skirts be warned) to propel him into the air for a powered punch.
* Tabitha {{spoiler|(or better said, Princess Charlotte Heléne de Orléans)}} from ''[[The Familiar of Zero]]''.
* One of the lewd Blue Gaurdians from ''[[Rave Master]]''. [[Power Perversion Potential]] ensues.
* ''[[Hades Project Zeorymer]]'': Lanster of the Wind.
* Takeda Shingen of ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' is so strong, a strong enough swing from his big freaking ax has enough force to summon a giant, mook-destroying tornado on the battlefield.
* Vento of the Front in ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' has the power over wind among God's Right Seat, and her ability, God's Divine Punishment, deprives anyone who is hostile towards her of oxygen.
** When [[I Just Want to Be Special|Saten]] briefly becomes an esper in ''[[A Certain Scientific Railgun]]'', her ability turns out to have something to do with air manipulation, demonstrated by her spinning some leaves above her palm in a miniature cyclone. [[All There in the Manual|Supplementary materials]] state Saten's power is the same as Kongo's, "Aero Hand", but at Level 0.
** Also, Kongo's "Aero Hand" ability causes whatever she touches to be violently propelled away by a rocket thruster-like gust of wind. And we're not talking about small fry; [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|her first on-screen use of it involves lobbing a truck at two helicopters, nailing both]]. The rest of the battle she spends running around, throwing mooks in [[Powered Armor]] like ragdolls. Though it was kinda foreshadowed by her constantly playing around with a fan.
* In ''[[Inukami!]]'', Kaoru's specialty is wind magic. Though, oddly, he invokes the 'White Mountain God' to do it.
* In ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]]'', this is [[Sixth Ranger|Milky Rose]]'s element of choice.
** Wind is also Cure March's personal element in ''[[Smile Pretty Cure]]''. Considering her theme color, it also doubles as [[Wind Is Green]].

== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Storm from ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' uses wind powers, among her other weather-related abilities; usually, though, just to fly.
* A full-fledged wind user in the ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' team is Sofía Mantega, aka Renascence (and formerly Wind Dancer).
* Windfall, one of the Masters of Disaster in [[The DCU]].
* Whirlwind, a [[Marvel Comics]] supervillain.
* [[Fables|Bigby Wolf]] mainly uses this power to huff and puff but can also calm the winds if he tries. His father, the North Wind, has a much higher level of power.
* Red Tornado of the [[Justice League of America]] mainly uses tornado-like gusts, but can do virtually anything with wind.
* Typhon from [[The Incredible Hercules]] is capable of causing Wind-related natural disasters like Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Typhoons, etc.
* [[The Mighty Thor|Thor]] can project whirlwinds from his hammer, summon them naturally, or generate them with his cape. He can use these whirlwinds to carry people safely or shield them from harm.

== [[Fairy Tales]] ==
* [[The Big Bad Wolf]] in ''[[The Three Little Pigs]]'' (and most adaptations) had powerful lungs, able to blow down the houses of the first two Pigs.

== [[Fan Works]] ==
* In ''[[Keepers of the Elements]]'', Lindsay has this as her Element.
* [[Sixth Ranger|Macroburst]] and [[Ptero-Soarer|Terror]][[Wind from Beneath My Wings|dactyl]] in ''[[Rise of the Galeforces]].''

== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'' generally averts this even though it has an elemental system, as Air is generally used for telekinesis-like effects instead of wind effects.
* In the ''[[Codex Alera]]'', everyone bonds with one or more "furies" of an element, one of which is wind. Wind furies grant [[Flight]] and [[Bullet Time|speed]] to powerful crafters, but don't work well in enclosed or underground spaces, and [[Weaksauce Weakness|salt hurts them]]. A Knight Aeris without any significant furycrafting besides wind (such as [[Action Girl|Amara]]) also falls straight into [[Fragile Speedster]] territory. Windcrafting is also extremely useful for spying, too, as a windcrafter can cause the air to bend light to generate impromptu telescopes or to conceal people or objects, or to generate fields to hush out noise. In one extreme case, a team of Knights Aeris actually used their ability to bend light to  {{spoiler|create a giant magnifying glass that focused sunlight into an impromptu [[Death Ray]] that swept an entire bridge clean of invading [[Wolf Man|Canim]].}}
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', Harry Dresden uses wind magic almost as often as fire magic, maybe even more often but to less destructive effect.
** Less? Tell that to the napalm firing Renfields in ''Blood Rites''.
** Elaine, in what is almost certainly a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[The Mighty Thor]]'', twirls one of her foci, a chain, to summon a powerful whirlwind.
** Harry does the same (with his staff) one book before, creating a tornado that picks up the debris of a battle and promptly slices/pulps a lot of very powerful creatures.
* In Alexander Pope's ''[[The Rape of the Lock]]'', as part of their [[Personality Powers]], coquettes turn into airy sylphs upon death. They also have the ability to manipulate air — but not to any great effect, as Belinda barely notices the ''faint breeze'' on her neck that is the top sylph [[Traumatic Haircut|trying to warn her that Doom is Nigh]].
* In ''[[Kingdom Keepers]]'', [[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Maleficent]] gets this added to her bag of tricks, though she uses it as a scare tactic more than anything.
* The titular ''[[Wind Witch]]'' of Susan Dexter's Valadan series had this power. At the climax of the book she calls up a hurricane which completely destroys the sea raiders that had been threatening them.
* In [[Robert E. Howard]]'s [[Conan the Barbarian]] story "[[The Scarlet Citadel]]", Pelias explains that he is calling on air spirits to form Conan's transport.
* The fifth and last introduced main character from [[Anthony Horowitz]]'s ''[[The Power of Five]]'' series, Scarlett, has powers over the weather, including the wind. This first manifests itself when she unconsciously brings down an awesomely powerful hurricane onto the Necropolis and, with concentration, is able to lead her friends through it unscathed.
* In [[Devon Monk]]'s ''[[Age of Steam|Dead Iron]]'', Cedar's arrival at the mine is announced by dust devils that form without any wind.
* Trisana Chandler in [[Tamora Pierce]]'s Circle quartets has the ability to control weather, including earthquakes, heat, lightning, and wind. When traveling to a hot country, she used her breezes to pick up rumors, cool herself, lift herself to the top of a tower, block somebody's path, etc.
* In ''[[Shadow Ops]]'', aeromancy is one of the "legal" elemental schools of magic. The school not only allows for control of wind and flight, but it also allows the aeromancer to [[Shock and Awe|generate lighting]] and control storms.


==  [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The [[Kamen Rider (TV series)|first]] [[Kamen Rider V 3|three]] [[Kamen Rider]]s were powered by wind. Similarly, [[Kamen Rider Double|Double's]] Cyclone Memory and [[Kamen Rider Blade|Chalice's]] Tornado Rouse Card grant wind power to their attacks, while [[Kamen Rider Ryuki|Knight]] has multiple wind-themed Advent Cards (as does his [[Kamen Rider Dragon Knight|American counterpart]]). [[Kamen Rider Hibiki|Ibuki and most wind instrument-type Oni]] also use wind powers.
** [[Kamen Rider OOO|Kazari]] can create vortexes.
* [[Gosei Sentai Dairanger|Ho-ohRanger]] and [[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger|ShinkenPink]]/[[Power Rangers Samurai|the pink Samurai Ranger]] have wind powers. In Ho-ohRanger's case the powers extend to her giant robot, which made it into ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' as the Firebird Thunderzord.


== Mythology and Religion ==
* In Japanese folklore, the mythical creature ''Tengu'' is mostly associated with this trope.
** Also, the Kamaitachi, flying weasel and master of the [[Razor Wind]]. Scythes are optional.
** There's also Fujin, the god of wind.
* Lucifer, according to ''[[The Bible]]''.
* In [[Classical Mythology]], the Harpies were [[Depending on the Writer|sometimes]] the [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]s of destructive winds.
* Mesopotamian wind and storm deities include Enlil and Ishkur.


== Tabletop Games ==
* Green mages of ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' has many damaging wind spells, such as [https://web.archive.org/web/20090505224316/http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=129885 Hurricane]. [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|The better to deal with Blue's pesky flying creatures.]]
* A number of spells and prestige classes in ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', starting with Gust of Wind and Wind Wall spells.


== Toys ==
* Air, here associated with the colour green, is one of the six core Matoran elements of ''[[Bionicle]]'' and, as such, is wielded by the numerous Toa of Air. Unlike most other elements, almost no non-Toa creatures have access to wind powers.


== Video Games ==
* ''[[Ōkami]]'' has the Gale brushstroke, which is obtained from Kazegami. By drawing a swirl of ink, you can create winds that blow you, your opponents, or objects around. Later, you get a [[Razor Wind|Whirlwind]] brush technique by drawing 3 horizontal lines. Can be used for [[Hilarity Ensues|juggling enemies]].
* Zephyr Vanguardion of ''[[Fantasia Otome Game Series|Fantasia - Momento of Grand Finale]]''.
* ''Zelda'' has several items that give Link wind powers:
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]'', Link get a magical leaf that he can use to hang-glide, at the cost of some magic. It can also be used to make a strong blast of air. Another example is the titular Wind Waker, a magical conductor's baton that can be used to change the direction of the wind and conjure cyclones.
** ''[[Video Game/The Legend Of Zelda Minish Cap|The Legend Of Zelda Minish Cap]]'': Gust Jar is also dual-purpose. It is charged by sucking up air (and items and enemies), and then releases it as a blast of air. Link uses it to grab elastic mushrooms to pull himself across pits, pull the shells off of enemies, and extinguish flames.
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'': Gale Boomerang is used to blow (mostly) pinwheels for various effects.
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks]]'': Whirlwind is a horn-thing that, when Link blows into it, he can use it to push pinwheels, push important items across chasms, and throw bombs into the resident dungeon boss.
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'': Farore's Wind is a spell that creates teleportation points in dungeons so Link can quickly return to that room.
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'': The Gust Bellows works similarly to the Gust Jar above, but lacks the "suck" part.
* Woodrow/Garr Kelvin from ''[[Tales of Destiny]]'' wields the Swordian of Wind, Igtenos.
** Spada Belforma of ''[[Tales of Innocence]]'' uses wind and lightning techs and magic.
** Hisui Hearts, ''[[Tales of Hearts]]'', uses primarily wind techs with his bow. Also, though he can cast spells of a few elements, he's the only character with the most powerful wind spell, Cyclone.
** Forcystus in ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', part of the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]], uses wind spells, some of which also count as [[Razor Wind]].
*** From the same game, the [[Summon Magic|summon]] [[Our Fairies Are Different|Sylph]] can be used for wind-element attacks as well.
** [[Tales of Vesperia|I'LL BLOW YOU AWAY!]] (Note that the character who says this has quite a few wind-element strike artes in his repetoire.)
*** A stronger example from the same game is Raven, who has both wind based strike artes and wind element magic.
* Subversion: Masaki Andoh of ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' rides the Elemental Lord of Wind Cybuster, but does not utilize wind in battle. Instead, it focuses more on its Fragile Speedster status.
** Some animations for his Discutter show it summoning the blade from a small tornado of some sort.
* Aya Shameimaru of ''[[Touhou]]'' is a crow tengu, so she uses wind.
** [[Physical God|Kanako Yasaka]] may also manipulate wind. [[Miko|Sanae Kochiya]] can manipulate wind to an extent when she channels Kanako. Then again, Sanae's [[Informed Ability]] is thaumaturgy, so...
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] learned some air based abilities from ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' onward.
** Air seems to be Sonic's association element, especially in ''Sonic And The Black Knight", where he's titled The Knight of the Wind because he declares that his only master is the wind that blows free.
* The ''[[Persona (video game)|Persona]]'' series:
** Yukari Takeba from ''[[Persona 3]]'' has a persona that uses mostly wind attacks.
** Yosuke from ''[[Persona 4]]'' also has a persona with wind attacks, though [[Jack of All Stats|he branches out to healing and physical damage as well.]]
* Luc, the wielder of the {{spoiler|True}} Wind Rune in the ''[[Suikoden]]'' series.
* The [[Pokémon]] element to which this would be attributed is Flying. Johto Gym Leader Falkner, Hoenn Gym Leader Winona, and Unova Gym Leader Skyla specialize in Flying types.
** The legendary Pokemon Tornadus introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White]] is notably the first pure Flying type, and is based on the wind god Fujin.
** There's also Rayquaza from Generation III; Groudon rules the earth, Kyogre rules the seas, and Rayquaza, whose roar is enough to send the other two running, rules the sky.
** What about Lugia? Its power is so strong that just flapping its wings can blow houses apart!
* Ivan and Sheba from ''[[Golden Sun]]'' both have wind manipulation powers in their base class, though any of the playable characters can gain these powers through use of the class system. Karis, their successor in the third game, has the added benefit of wind-based [[Healing Hands|healing]].
* Lilica Felchenrow in ''[[Arcana Heart]]'' uses the Arcana of Wind as her default.
* The Arashi orb from ''[[Onimusha]]'' gives Samanosuke the ability to use wind magic.
* Goenitz from ''[[The King of Fighters]]''.
* ''[[Mega Man 2]]'': Air Man [[Memetic Mutation|ga taosenai!]]
** Also, Wind Man and Tornado Man, but not Gyro Man. And as in the myth, Tengu Man. Also, Hyperstorm H from ''Wily Wars''.
** There's almost always an example in each game from ''[[Mega Man X]]'' onwards. Most notable is [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Harpuia]] of ''[[Mega Man Zero]]''.
* Misaki Kawana of ''[[Eternal Fighter Zero]]'' uses wind in many of her attacks, both to boost her movement and to pound her opponent with strong gales.
* Any magic user who gets their hands on the Wind, Elwind, Tornado, Holsety, Blizzard, Aircalibur, Excalibur, or Rexcalibur tomes in ''[[Fire Emblem]]''.
** Some examples of characters who wield said tomes constantly: Levin (Elwind),  {{spoiler|Levin's magic user children}} (Holsety), Cecilia (Aircalibur), Ursula  {{spoiler|as a morph}} (Excalibur), Soren (Rexcalibur)...
* Both shamans and druids in ''[[Warcraft]]'' can manipulate the air; shamans call upon it for a wide and assorted range of powers, while druids prefer to summon hurricanes and tornadoes to destroy and incapacitate their enemies.
* Crono gets a "Wind Slash" attack in ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'', which has the same Light (Heaven) element as his spells.
* Xaldin from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.
** Also, Ventus, [[Meaningful Name|as his name suggests.]] Like [[Dishing Out Dirt|Terra]] and [[Making a Splash|Aqua]], he can use the other elements in his regular spells as well, but only he can use the high level Tornado spell, and several of his finishing attacks mix in wind.
* The ''[[Maple Story]]'' Knight of Cygnus [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Windbreaker]] class is composed of archers that use the power of the wind. One of their skills involves use of a magical wind that makes them immune to physical attacks, and wind-based attacks used in this state have their attack power increased. A different skill turns all neutral attacks into wind-based attacks, including their [[More Dakka]] and [[Rain of Arrows]]. They are generally more [[Glass Cannon]]s rather than [[Fragile Speedster]]s, as they are quite slow and have low health compared to the other Knights of Cygnus.
* Wendy Ryan of ''[[Psychic Force]]'', the Psychiccer of Wind.
* Elementalists in ''[[Guild Wars]]'' can specialize in air magic, and while it focuses mainly on lightning, several genuine wind-only spells make appearances as well.
** Dervishes also have some wind based skills, appropriately associated with the "Wind Prayers" attribute.
* Von Twirlenkiller, the third boss from ''[[MadWorld]]''.
* ''[[City of Heroes]]'' has the "storm summoning" powerset, allowing a PC to attack with windgusts, hurricanes, and tornados, along with other kinds of storms. Oddly enough, the powerset also has a basic healing power associated with it.
* Talim from [[Soul Series|Soul Calibur]], who's a "Wind Priestess", [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|oh!]]
* Fraternal twin brothers Kharg and Darc from ''[[Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits]]'', both being the Wind-oriented guy in two different teams and the leader.
* Rachel Alucard from ''[[BlazBlue]]'' has the Drive power to literally blow herself and the opponent away with wind.
* In some ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' games, the Pandemona, Chocobo, Sylph, and Fenrir summons can deal Wind damage.
** In ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', Sabin can summon a tornado...which heals the party and takes him out of the fight. [[Useless Useful Spell|And leaves him dead afterwards.]] He also utilizes a more traditional wind-based attack.
** There's also a recurring Aero or Tornado spell that occasionally shows up.
** The protagonists of ''[[Final Fantasy V|FFV]]'' are each designated various elements, with the hero Bartz getting wind. As the Gladiator class in the remake, he can sometimes execute a wind-elemental attack dealing 9999 damage.
** Fujin, a [[Recurring Boss]] in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'', named after the Japanese God of Wind. Appropriately, she's partnered with [[Shock and Awe|Raijin]] (God of Thunder).
* The [[Wind Is Green|Green Mages and Green Skulls]] in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' series specialize in wind magic, and the Mystic Beast is their monster counterpart.
* Aside from being a [[The Medic|healing]] [[White Magician Girl]], ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'''s Nina uses wind magic for offense.
* Vivi in ''[[Luminous Arc]]'' and Sadie in the sequel, ''[[Luminous Arc 2]]''. (In Sadie's case, one of her random battle quotes is actually "I'll blow you away!")
* Kushala Daora from ''[[Monster Hunter]]'' definitely fits here. It's known as the elder dragon of wind, and with good reason. It can generate a wind barrier around itself which will knock hunters off their feet if they get too close, which can complicate things for melee hunters. It has a breath weapon befitting its nature. Instead of fire or lightning, it fires blasts of concentrated hurricane-force winds, capable of doing heavy damage and throwing a hunter 10~15 feet into the air.
* In ''[[Heretic]]'', the Iron Lich boss has a windstorm attack that throws you up in the air and does damage until you escape.
* Tornado Kirby and Wing Kirby from the [[Kirby]] series.
* The wind itself in ''[[Flower]]'', which combines with [[Petal Power]].
* Sindel's scream fatality and Fujin's wind-skinner fatality in the ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' series.
* The game ''[[LostWinds]]'' gives you the ability to control, move, and attack with - you guessed it - wind!
* The titular monster hunters in ''[[The Witcher]]'' have a variety of simple spells ranging from traps that damage and immobilize anything walking over them, to blasts of fire, to limited mind control. Their most often used, and arguably most useful, is a quick blast of wind that can push back, stun, knockdown, and disarm anyone in front of them at the time.
* [[Meaningful Name|Gale]] from ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]''.
* [[Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army|Raidou Kuzunoha]] uses "Force" spells in his [[Canon Foreigner|cameo]] in the [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]]''.
* This is one of many elemental abilities Luigi of the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' series has shown, while playing baseball or soccer. Being Luigi, the [[Wind Is Green]], and even gains a vacuum in ''[[Luigi's Mansion|Luigis Mansion]]'' that can blow wind, fire, water and ice.
* In ''[[Rosenkreuzstilette]]'', we have Liebea, a [[Moe Moe|cute]], [[Shrinking Violet|shy]] [[Rose-Haired Girl]] who's prone to [[Power Incontinence]] in the form of summoning powerful storms.
* [[Koei]] gives us the ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'', where wind is not a standard element but is generally common as part of attacks used as juggling or crowd clearing moves. Pang Tong is the most notable practitioner, possessed of powerful crowd clearing tornadoes as part of his moveset and his [[Limit Break|musou attack]]. His faction color and his attacks are, of course, [[Wind Is Green|green.]]
** It appears with greater regularity in the ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'' series, where the available elements include [[An Ice Person|ice]], [[Kill It with Fire|fire]], [[Shock and Awe|lightning]], [[Casting a Shadow|demon]], and, as per this trope, wind. A wind element attack [[Ignores Defense]] and damages enemies even if they block. No one character explicitly specializes in the element, but Shingen Takeda can easily call on it due to his moveset reflecting his motto Fu Rin Ka Zan. Several 'final' weapons also feature the Wind element, most notably that of Nobunaga Oda.
* [[Meaningful Name|Matsukaze Tenma]] of [[Inazuma Eleven|Inazuma Eleven GO]] uses wind-based hissatsu.
* The Fairy in ''[[Desire Dungeon]]'' specialises in using wind magic, including [[Razor Wind]].
* The Kamaitachi ability from ''[[Battle Golfer Yui]]'' lets Yui ignore the wind conditions on a course, which comes in handy if the wind blowing on the golf course isn't favoring Yui, and lets her pierce through wood. She learns this ability from [[GeGeGe no Kitaro|GeGeGe no Kitako]].

== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Skogul's power in ''[[Earthsong]]''.
* Kei's power in ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20170802124754/http://www.revenant-braves.schala.net/ Circumstances of the Revenant Braves]''.
* The Windmaster in ''[[Acrobat]]'' is a villainous version of this.
* ''[[Homestuck]]'''s [[The Hero|John Egbert]] is the Heir of Breath and, as such, is associated with and wields power over wind, but he is more of a [[Jack of All Stats]] than a [[Fragile Speedster]]. When he first shows at least some control, he generates a massive cyclone that blows out the fire covering almost an entire ''planet''.
{{quote|"[[Die or Fly|DO THE WINDY THING DO THE WINDY THING DO THE WINDY THING]]"}}
** After [[Came Back Strong|ascending to the God Tiers]], his control over wind got even stronger. His first trick after this? [[Flying Car|Making a car fly while inside it]]. Tell me you wouldn't do that if you had the ability. And from there, he just tops himself again and again. Three words:  {{spoiler|[[This Is a Drill|TORNADO. PLANETARY.
