* ''VideoGame/FableI'': Windmill Hill has [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a mill on a hill]] above a few farms near the city of Bowerstone. Being an AdventureFriendlyWorld, there's no farming or milling going on -- the place is infested by undead and bandits.

* ''VideoGame/PaleoPines'' takes place on a rural island where people live in harmony with nature. Each area contains a damaged windmill that needs to be repaired for a sidequest, and they can be used to convert certain crops into crafting resources.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/PrinnyCanIReallyBeTheHero'' features windmills in its title screen, which also translates straight into its introductory level once a new game is selected. They are also seen in the Nethergrasslands, which typically serves as the first level players select given its simpler nature. In the sequel, they're seen in the Nethervalley, which serves the same purpose, though they appear to be more natural structures rather than constructed.
* ''VideoGame/Disgaea5'' has plenty of windmills featured in the Flowerful Netherworld, which makes sense considering the Netherworld in question has ''around the clock tornadoes''. It's likely a marvel of demonic engineering that said windmills don't break from the intense winds.

* The [[DoomedHometown rural town of Bruhl]] in ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' is at the center of the wheat-farming in that part of [[TheKingdom Gallia]], and the centerpiece landmark of the town is an old stonework medieval tower. The tower has long since been made obsolete and no longer functions as a military strongpoint, but has been repurposed by the residents into a windmill, allowing the town to process flour from the wheat grown on the surrounding farmland.

Each windmill will be owned by whoever player deposits the most coins in it, and the number of stars it has will be marked at the top of its entrance. The paths to the windmills are difficult to navigate, as they can only be crossed if the tulips' buds are open (and whenever a player crosses them, they'll close and make the other path's tulips open).

* In ''VideoGame/{{Outward}}'' there's a windmill in every main region of the game, but all are abandoned save the one in New Sirocco, which you have to build yourself as part of a resource production line. This is probably a reference to the now-defunct religion that once ruled the area and worshipped winds.
