What is the wind for, how to use it and strengthen it

From the first minutes of the game you will notice that there is no mini map, no radar, no reference to orient yourself, except for the wind, which can be recalled with the Dual Shock touchpad 4.

The wind can be boosted with the points obtained by leveling, you have the possibility to obtain the following types of wind:

During the game you can improve both health and determination, which is essential if you want to have a better chance of surviving and more time available to use the bow and more.
