Overview

Wind Fortress is a custom track created by ISwearChris. The track takes place along a broken up castle and ruins floating over the sky, with hanging dragons and Chinese-inspired decor. It is inspired by the originally unused stage Wind Fortress from Cave Story, and uses a similar feel and style to the design in that game, making a few references to its theme; this is also inspired by The Legend of Zelda – especially Tears of the Kingdom and Skyward Sword.
