The Cloud Tops is a location from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. It is a collection of clouds high above Hyrule. The Cloud Tops is where the Wind Tribe moved to and built the Palace of Winds, and it can only be accessed by using the whirlwind at the top of Veil Falls. As it is a sea of clouds, it is inhabited by various creatures of the sky, such as Cloud Piranhas and Lakitus. Here, Link must collect golden Kinstones to fuse with Mysterious Clouds to start up the whirlwind that leads to the Wind Tribe's home.
[edit] Navigation
Link must navigate two levels of clouds in order to successfully collect and fuse all of the Golden Kinstones. The upper level can be traversed on foot upon the clouds, but to navigate between clouds Link must jump into a whirlwind, inflating Ezlo and allowing Link to glide through the air for a period of time. A special type of dense clouds can be dug with the Mole Mitts, which is often necessary for getting certain items. The upper level also has square holes that allow Link to fall to the lower level.
The lower level is much harder to navigate, with no whirlwinds to cross between clouds. A special red type of whirlwind appears, however, which allows Link to reach the upper level. Sometimes Cloud Piranhas must be defeated in order for a whirlwind to appear, usually coinciding with the appearance of a Golden Kinstone. All Mysterious Clouds are found on the lower level along with the whirlwind that leads to the Wind Tribe's home.
[edit] Theory
Theory warning: This section contains theoretical information based on the viewpoints or research of one or several other users. It has not been officially verified by Nintendo and its factual accuracy is disputed.
It is possible that Ezlo's powers allow Link to walk upon the clouds, for both of the members of the Wind Tribe stranded here, Hailey and her sister, show surprise that Link is able to walk on clouds.
Theory warning: Theories end here.
