- Beyond Skyrim, the massive multi-team Game Mod project for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is poised to add Wind Magic as a new counterpart to the basegame's already existing Fire, Ice, and Lighting Magic. True the trope name, Wind Magic's special ability will be the ability to knock over weaker enemies over with it.

- Body Blows: Mike is a seemingly unassuming businessman who works on Wall Street and fights in tournaments against a variety of street fighters, martial artists, robots, and aliens.

- Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex: Lo-Lo, the last of the Elementals, is the master of air, responsible for hurricanes, deadly storms, and according to Uka Uka, "that little ice age a couple of centuries back". And go figure, his personality is that of an airhead.

- Dynasty Warriors:
- Wind is not a standard element but is common for attacks used as juggling or crowd-clearing moves. Pang Tong is the most notable practitioner, with powerful crowd-clearing tornadoes as part of his moveset and his musou attack. His faction color and his attacks are, of course, green.
- It appears with greater regularity in the Samurai Warriors series. A wind-element attack Ignores Defense and damages enemies even if they block. No character explicitly specializes in the element, but Shingen Takeda can easily call on it due to his moveset reflecting his motto Fu Rin Ka Zan. Several "final" weapons also feature the Wind element, most notably that of Nobunaga Oda.
- Eternal Fighter Zero: Misaki Kawana uses wind in many of her attacks, both to boost her movement and to pound her opponent with strong gales.

- Final Fantasy XII: Chaos, the Esper of Wind, wields Whirldwind as a standard attack and Tornado as a Limit Break. In the original release of the game, these are also both Percent Damage Attacks. When fought as a boss, he uses Aeroja as a Desperation Attack. Though nowhere near as lacking as water and earth, wind damage has fewer options overall that the standard Fire, Ice, Lightning trio, with Aero and Aeroga being available to the player but Aerora being an enemy-exclusive ability.
- Final Fantasy XIII: The Aero spells create whirlwinds that briefly stun enemies. Aerora and Aeroga can also knock enemies into the air, interrupting their attacks and leaving them extra vulnerable.
- Fire Emblem: Any magic user who gets their hands on the Wind, Elwind, Tornado, Forseti, Blizzard, Aircalibur, Excalibur, or Rexcalibur tomes, which most often involve the user conjuring slicing blades of green-colored wind. Some examples of characters who wield said tomes constantly: Merric (Excalibur), Lewyn (Elwind and later Forseti), Lewyn's magic-using children (either Coirpre, Arthur, or Ced) (Forseti), Amid (any Wind tome and nothing else), Cecilia (Aircalibur), Ursula as a morph (Excalibur), Soren (Rexcalibur), Ricken and later Laurent (Elwind), Luthier (Excalibur)...

- Ghostrunner: The Tempest ability lets you fire a short, but wide blast of wind that kills any enemy caught within it. It's one of the only AOE attacks the Ghostrunner has in his arsenal.
- Golden Sun:
- Ivan from the first game and Sheba from the second both have wind manipulation powers in their base class, though any of the playable characters can gain these powers through use of the class system.
- Karis, their successor in the third game, has the added benefit of wind-based healing. She is joined by Sveta, who, unlike her fellow Jupiter Adepts, actually knows what she's doing in a physical fight. Jupiter Adepts also have lightning powers, can receive visions, unveil illusions and are apparently capable of predicting the future as well.
- Guild Wars:
- Elementalists can specialize in air magic, and while it focuses mainly on lightning, several genuine wind-only spells make appearances as well.
- Dervishes also have some wind-based skills, appropriately associated with the "Wind Prayers" attribute.

- Inazuma Eleven: As the games uses elemental alignments, wind-themed players are fairly common. Notable examples include Kazemaru from the original series and Tenma from GO.
- Kindergarten: Two of the Monstermon cards have this ability.
- Parodied with the Tornado Fly. It can create tornadoes by flapping its wings, but they're too small to be threatening, since the user is just a small bug.
- Oh Faka Tornado, on the other hand, is a proper wind user, being able to suck people in and compel them into saying its name.
- Kingdom Hearts:
- Kingdom Hearts: Sora, Donald, and the Disney companions who can use magic have access to the Aero spell, creating a whirlwind around the user that serves as a damage dampener for a minute or so. Its maximum form Aeroga is a Razor Wind, causing damage on contact with enemies.
- Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories brings Aero back as a card. The whirlwind only lasts a second, but it can be combined with other cards for devastating attacks, usually in the forms of tornados. The Updated Re-release adds the Xaldin card, which creates a small Razor Wind around Sora similar to the first game's Aero spells.
- Kingdom Hearts II: Xaldin only physically wields two or three of his six lances at a time and manipulates the other ones with his wind powers, likely making him the Organization member with the greatest degree of fine control over his element. His Desperation Attack is also a wind-based Wave-Motion Gun.
- Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep has this in Ventus, as his name suggests. Like fellow protagonists Terra and Aqua, he can use the other elements in his regular spells as well, but only he can use the high-level Tornado spell, and several of his finishing attacks mix in wind.
- Kingdom Hearts III: Aero returns as a standard attack spell, creating a whirlwind around the target that's wider with each level of the spell. It also leaves behind a small whirlwind that enhances Sora's jumps. The Aeroza situation command creates multiple vortices to hit a massive area.

- The Legend of Zelda has several items that give Link wind powers:
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Farore's Wind is a spell that creates teleportation points in dungeons so Link can quickly return to that room.
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: Link gets a magical Deku Leaf from the Deku Tree that he can use to hang-glide, at the cost of some magic. It can also be used to make a strong blast of air without needing to use magic. A more blatant example is the titular Wind Waker, a magical conductor's baton that can be used to change the direction of the wind and conjure cyclones.
- The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: The Gust Jar is also dual-purpose. It is charged by sucking up air (and items and enemies), and then releases it as a blast of air. Link uses it to grab elastic mushrooms to pull himself across pits, pull the shells off of enemies, and extinguish flames.
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The Gale Boomerang is used to blow (mostly) pinwheels for various effects.
- The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks: The Whirlwind is a horn-thing that, when Link blows into it, he can use to push pinwheels, push important items across chasms, and throw bombs into the resident dungeon boss.
- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: The Gust Bellows work similarly to the Gust Jar above, but lack the "suck" part.
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The Korok Leaf can produce blasts of air similarly to the Deku Leaf. Additionally, Revali's Gale creates an updraft that can blow Link upwards.
- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:

- MapleStory: The Knight of Cygnus Windbreaker class is composed of archers that use the power of the wind. One of their skills involves the use of a magical wind that makes them immune to physical attacks, and wind-based attacks used in this state have their attack power increased. A different skill turns all neutral attacks into wind-based attacks, including their More Dakka and Rain of Arrows. They are generally more Glass Cannons rather than Fragile Speedsters, as they are quite slow and have low health compared to the other Knights of Cygnus.
- The Matrix: Path of Neo: One of the two witches has a banshee wail that can throw people, and you along with disorienting Neo, around and into walls.
- Mega Man:
- Mega Man (Classic):

- Mega Man (Classic):
- There's almost always an example in each game from Mega Man X onwards. Most notable is Sage Harpuia of Mega Man Zero, who combines this with Shock and Awe.

- Miitopia: Tornado enemies and Harpies can blow small tornadoes at the Miis, sending them away from the battlefield for a few turns. The Princesses can also create gusts of Razor Wind with their fans.
- Monster Hunter:
- Monster Hunter 2 (dos): Kushala Daora is known as the elder dragon of wind, and with good reason. It can generate a wind barrier around itself which will knock hunters off their feet if they get too close, which can complicate things for melee hunters. It has a breath weapon befitting its nature. Instead of fire or lightning, it fires blasts of concentrated hurricane-force winds, capable of doing heavy damage and throwing a hunter 10~15 feet into the air. The game also introduces a Rusted variant whose eolic powers are even more powerful.
- Monster Hunter Portable 3rd:
- Nibelsnarf and Sand Barioth can shoot powerful gusts of wind. The former does it in a way similar to Gobul from Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) (expelling a vortex of wind from its mouth), which would have this power as well except it can only do it underwater. The latter can lay a vertical cyclone and then use it to spin and quickly charge at the hunter.
- Amatsu is a powerful Elder Dragon capable of performing cyclones by moving its body rapidly during battle. These cyclones can move around the battlefield and eventually merge before disappearing. The wind is also how Amatsu can hover in the air to begin with, and the exceptional control the monster has over it is one of the ways (the other way being its equally exceptional aquatic powers) it can render the wheather unstable and dangerous for the hunters and the wildlife alike.
- Monster Hunter: World: The Paolumu can inflate its throat pouch to float around and unleash mini-tornadoes that can stun Hunters. The Iceborne expansion adds the Nightshade Paolumu, a subspecies which expels a powerful sleeping gas, then blows that gas around during the hunt.
- Monster Hunter: Rise: True to its name, Wind Serpent Ibushi has an exceptional control of wind, which it also uses to hover airborne like Amatsu and Thunder Serpent Narwa can. This wind is powerful enough to cause natural disasters in every location this Elder Dragon passes by. During battle, Ibushi can attack with powerful torrents of wind powered by draconic energy.
- Mortal Kombat:
- Starting from Mortal Kombat X onwards, Kitana can use wind-based attacks with her Combat Hand Fans.

- Onimusha: Warlords: The Arashi orb gives Samanosuke the ability to use wind magic with the weapon Shippu (a two-headed naginata), the weakest but fastest of the three weapons he can obtain, the wind magic summons a tornado that drags enemy to it and sends them flying. An identical weapon with a different design and name returns in the second game, while the third one has a "Sky" elemental weapon, the nodachi Kuga, which unleashes Razor Wind as its magic. The final game Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams retains the "Sky" element name (in the Japanese version at least) but uses the same whirlwind magic as in the first two games.
- Plants vs. Zombies: Blover's special ability is a gust of wind that gets rid of all flying zombies onscreen by blowing them offscreen.

- Gym Leaders Falkner of Violet City in Johto, Winona of Fortree City in Hoenn and Skyla of Mistralton City in Unova; and Elite Four members Kahili of Alola and Larry of Paldeanote specialize in Flying types.
- Pokémon Gold and Silver: Lugia, despite being more often associated with the ocean, falls under this category. Its power is so strong that just flapping its wings can blow houses apart, and its signature move is called Aeroblast, a laser of pressurized air that has a high chance of dealing a critical hit.
- Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire: Groudon rules the earth, Kyogre rules the seas, and Rayquaza, whose roar is enough to send the other two running, rules the sky.
- Pokémon Black and White: The legendary Pokémon Tornadus is notably the first pure Flying-type in the franchise, and is based on the wind god Fujin. Prior to Pokémon Sword and Shield, it was also the only pure Flying-type.

- Luste Teuber from the same game is a childish girl who's energetic and jumps around the battlefield with speed while throwing sharp razor wind (which are sometimes huge).
- Shin Megami Tensei:
- Most of the mainline games use the Zan skills, which are referred to in the game as "Force" skills, because of the way that wind "forces" objects around.
- Shin Megami Tensei I: The Law Hero specializes in Zan.
- Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army: Raidou Kuzunoha uses "Force" spells in his cameo in the Updated Re-release of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.
- Shin Megami Tensei IV: Zan's successor, Jonathan, is this and An Ice Person as a result of no human being able to learn Ice spells in I. In fact, in SMTIV, Force spells can literally blow enemies away; if they hit your demons you'll have to look for them later.
- Digital Devil Saga: Gale excels in these skills.
- Persona: The series uses Garu skills instead. Some games also describe the "Zan" spells as shooting shockwaves rather than wind.
- Persona: The Protagonist and Brown start off as this. Strangely for the franchise, Brown has both Zan spells (Blast damage for that game) and Wind spells.
- Most of the mainline games use the Zan skills, which are referred to in the game as "Force" skills, because of the way that wind "forces" objects around.
- Persona 3: Yukari Takeba has a Persona that uses mostly wind attacks.
- Persona 4: Yosuke Hanamura has a Persona with wind attacks, although he branches out to healing and physical damage as well.
- Persona 5: Morgana, the Mentor Mascot, specializes in wind magic, though he also branches heavily into healing magic as well.

- The Chinese Dragon King of Eastern Seas, Ao Kuang, initially had a lot of wind-based spells. Eventually, it was deemed that wind spells clashed with his lore, being a sea-based dragon, so eventually he got Put on a Bus for awhile and his kit was taken by the Mayan Serpent of Nine Winds Kukulkan.

- Paper Mario 64:
- Lakilester the Lakitu (better known as Spike), Mario's eighth and final party member, has the ultra-rank ability Hurricane, where his cloud generates a powerful wind that blows enemies out of the battlefield by tapping both A and B repeatedly. However, it doesn't work on bosses. In addition, doing so will not earn Mario Star Points.
- The game also has two enemies that possess wind attacks, and the damage they do to Mario can be reduced by tapping the Action Command repeatedly. One is Buzzar, the buzzard-based miniboss found on Mt. Rugged before proceeding to the Dry, Dry Desert, whose blasts of wind from his wings can damage your party members for a turn or two; his wind attack ranges between 3-1 HP. The second is Huff N. Puff, a giant living storm cloud and the game's sixth boss, who attacks with not only powerful lightning strikes that either strike the ground or attack Mario directly and can heal himself by swallowing the Tuff Puffs that break off of him when he is attacked, but with a powerful breath of wind that ranges between 7-2 HP.
