** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': The Shadow Temple is a [[HailfirePeaks mixture]] of this and BigBoosHaunt. While the latter trope is the majority of the temple, since it is located in the Kakariko Graveyard, this trope falls into place due to some obstacles containing active fans that require the use of the Iron Boots to resist their push, while one, as long as the Hover Boots are equipped, leads Link to the final passage leading to Bongo-Bongo's lair in the heart of the temple.

* The Death Peak ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' is a windy place; the first challenge is you having to make your way to the top of the screen while the wind intensifies regularly, blowing you off the screen unless you're standing behind a tree when this happens; the second is a thin bridge you have to cross while being constantly pushed down by the winds.

* ''VideoGame/FZero'' has the Death Wind courses, where a powerful gust pushes your machine (which hovers above the ground rather than using wheels) and causes it to drift in one direction so long as it is in motion.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

** Played with in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure''. Yes, Windy Valley is called that because it has strong winds. But they usually help you.

'''Durkon:''' Aye, but I thought it were the '''Windy''' Canyon— as in, it were full o' winding passages.\\
'''Elan''': It is! It's a Windy Windy Canyon!

'''Roy:''' You didn't— You knew we were coming to WINDY Canyon today!!\\

->'''Roy:''' No, I am not meandering on this maze on foot. Durkon, cast Control Winds!\\

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': True to its name, the Wind Temple has wind as a major theme, and thus there are several rooms with fans that continuously expel wind for Link to fly higher with his Deku Leaf.

* The spring breeze-themed level of ''VideoGame/NappleTale'', The Wild Wind.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': Divine Beast Vah Medoh has numerous fans that must be manipulated and exploited with the Paraglider to solve puzzles. The homeland of Vah Medoh, the Hebra region, generally has lots of updrafts and strong winds blowing around the place, which is probably why the [[BirdPeople Rito]] have chosen it as their home.

* The original ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros64 Super Smash Bros.]]'' has the Dream Land stage. ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee Melee]]'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Brawl]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Ultimate]]'' all have the Green Greens stage, along with a remade Dream Land from the first game (also present in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU 4]]''. The Subspace Emissary in ''Brawl'' has a few areas on the outside of the [[CoolAirship Halberd]] whilst it is in the air.

** There's the TropeNamer Gusty Glade in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'', which combines wind with mildly difficult platforming. Most of the difficulty comes from adapting to the wind gimmick. Then there's Windy Well, which uses the wind to suspend or raise the player through the air. Finally, there's [[ThatOneLevel Animal Antics]], where you have to fly through a maze of [[CollisionDamage thorned brambles]] while winds push you from side to side. As ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' is largely based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', it also features wind levels.

* ''VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIVLegendsOfTheTitan'': The Windy Archive, located in Cloudy Stronghold, is a MiniDungeon version. It's a library where wind currents perpetually blow south, so the player's party characters have to know where to walk to properly navigate the place and avoid being blown back to the start. Strangely for a video game series that fully exploits the potential of every gimmick seen in each game's dungeons, these wind currents aren't seen anywhere else in the game (not even in the BonusDungeon, which otherwise brings back many familiar mechanics seen in previous locations), though their functionality was seen beforehand with the sea currents in the Undersea Grotto from ''VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIIBeyondTheMyth'' (and seen again in that dungeon in ''VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyNexus'').

* ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey'': The Windy Archive in the fourth game, ''Legends of the Titan'', is a MiniDungeon version. There are wind currents blowing south, so the player's party characters have to know where to walk to properly navigate the place and avoid being blown back to the start. Strangely for a video game series that fully exploits the potential of every gimmick seen in each game's dungeons, these wind currents aren't seen anywhere else in the game (not even in the BonusDungeon, which otherwise brings back many familiar mechanics seen in previous locations), though their functionality was seen beforehand with the sea currents in the Undersea Grotto from ''Etrian Odyssey III'' (and seen again in that dungeon in ''Nexus'').
