A unique [[Wii Ware]] [[Platform Game]], ''LostWinds'' stars a young boy named Toku. One day, while out playing, Toku finds a strange blue stone. Inside the stone is Enril, a wind spirit from a forgotten age. She needs his help -- long ago, she helped to [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|seal the evil spirit Balasar]], trapping herself along with him, but now Balasar is on the verge of breaking free. Enril, however, is still confined to the stone; she can only go where the stone, and, by extension, Toku, goes. Controlling Toku with the Nunchuck and Enril with the Wii Remote, you must use your wind-based powers to jump, glide, and explore the world and find out how to stop the ultimate evil from breaking free once more.
 
The sequel, ''LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias'', begins with a new character, Riveren. After being late for his duties regarding the Melodias King's homecoming event, he stumbles onto a black stone containing Balasar's spirit. Incidentally, [[Evil Counterpart|this sounds rather familiar]]. The rest of the game shifts back to Toku as he and Enril attempt to discover and break the curse befalling the Melodia City and also affecting his mother, Magdi. This game features the ability to change the seasons with the spirit Sonte, adding a new dimension to solving the various environmental puzzles.
Line 28:
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Not with dialogue, but with action. The sequel starts with Riveren [[Easing Into the Adventure|waking up before a festival]], just like Toku. And just like Toku, he finds a fragment of a mystical stone in a glade just like the one Toku woke up in that starts to fly and glow. But because this power is ''black,'' it's clear that this is going to end ''much'' worse.
* [[Kid Hero]]: Enril's the one with all the powers, but she's confined to a stone. Without Toku to carry her, she's helpless.
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: You can't control fire directly, but if there's a fire nearby, you can push it and control the flames with Enril to an extent. Effective for killing enemies and burning vine barriers.
* [[Lost Forever]]: There is a glitch in ''Winter of the Melodias'' that, if invoked, will prevent the player from getting one of the Melodia Statues.
* [[Magic Music]]: The Melodias had [[Magitek]] powered by their singing.
Line 35:
* [[Precursors]]: The Melodias.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Absolutely gorgeous cel-shaded scenery with the world's most soothing soundtrack. You'd be forgiven for just wandering around and taking in the sights.
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: Balasar.
* [[Sealed Good in Aa Can]]: Not just Enril, but also all the other spirits she speaks of. {{spoiler|And your mentor, Deo.}}
* [[Sequence Breaking]]: In Winter of the Melodias, it seems to be possible to find the {{spoiler|Jumbrella Cape}} sooner than you're meant to, making some subsequent puzzles a bit easier.
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: The entire ''world'' in ''Winter of the Melodias.''
