[edit] Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Palace of Winds is a massive floating fortress that floats high above Hyrule's Cloud Tops that was moved up into the sky by the members of the Wind Tribe. When they did this, they took the Wind Element with them and placed it at the heart of the Palace of Winds. Some time afterward, the Wind Tribe continued to guard the Palace of Winds but did not venture into it very often due to an infestation of monsters. In truth, a Gyorg Pair had descended from the skies and turned the Wind Tribe's Palace of Winds into their new home, seizing the Wind Element in the process. With the Wind Element's power, they flew high over the Palace of Winds and deterred many from entering for fear of attack. With the Palace of Winds now under their control, it was not long before monsters infested the Palace's lower levels as well.

Years later, the hero Link embarks on a quest to retrieve the elements. Link receives assistance from the ghost of King Gustaf and enters the Cloud Tops, and eventually reaches the Palace of Winds with the help of the Wind Tribe. Link battles his way through the humongous structure, destroying countless monsters along the way, all the time in search of the Wind Element, the last of the four Elements needed to restore the Picori Blade's power and transform it into the sacred Four Sword. Eventually, he comes across a whirlwind that transports him to a large open area where he is confronted by the the Gyorg Pair. He eventually defeats the two enemies and retrieves the final Element.

Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.

[edit] Battle

As soon as Link enters the battle room, he lands on the back of the red female Gyorg. In order to defeat the Gyorg Pair, Link must use the power of the White Sword to replicate himself by the use of the shining tiles on its back. Then, he must use the power of three to simultaneously hit all of the eyes on the red Gyorg. Once the red Gyorg has taken some damage, it will throw Link off, forcing him to jump onto the back of the blue male Gyorg. With the spin attack, he must hit all of its eyes, effectively defeating it.

Link is thrown back onto the red female after this. After a repetition of the previous process, the red Gyorg is defeated once and for all, landing Link on the summit of the Palace of Winds.
