The Wind Fish is a Deity said to have control over the wind in the Zelda series.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening[]
The Wind Fish fell asleep before the events of the game and started dreaming of another reality that manifested as reality into the Deity's dream as Koholint Island. The inhabitants of the island and the island itself were tied to the dream itself and the eventual awakening of the Wind Fish would bring the end of their existence.
An entity known as the Shadowy Nightmares eventually manifested in the dream and trapped the Wind Fish into an endless slumber, preventing him from ever waking up and preserving the existence of the island as a result. When Link was caught in a storm created unconsciously and struck by lightning, he was transported to Koholint Island. Link started to learn the true nature of the island trought the Owl who is in reality a part of the Wind Fish's spirit trying to influence the hero to bring his eternal slumber to an end. Most inhabitants of the island are unaware of their true nature and the only one who knows realised that Link would destroy the island if he manage to collect the Instruments of the Sirens. Dedicated to protect them, they serves as the bosses of each dungeons.
