The Whisperwind Cove is one of the four bonus dungeons in the Dawn of Souls version of the original Final Fantasy, and one of the five in the 20th Anniversary Edition and iOS/Windows Phone versions. It is not available in the Android version or Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster.
The Whisperwind Cove is located northeast of the Cavern of Ice in the Crescent Lake continent. The player must have defeated Tiamat and obtained the canoe to play through the Cove. Bosses from Final Fantasy VI appear here. The Whisperwind Cove is the longest of the new dungeons in the Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls port, comprising 40 floors. Mandatory boss battles and exit warps are present every tenth floor. It hosts the largest variety of enemies in the game, of many difficulties and types.
Several levels involve minigames, which can range from beaver counting (reminiscent of Final Fantasy II) to searching for robot parts. Quirky levels, such as a floating continent dominated by shades of orange, break up the monotony of the mostly generic cave floors.
Shops[]
One of the levels has a village comprised of Black, White, and Red Wizards (with their sprite colors altered). Every magic spell can be bought from the White and Black Wizards at regular prices. There are eight Black and White Wizards each who sell eight different levels of magic. Three of the Red Wizards will sell the player weapons, armor, or items.

Items[]
In the Whisperwind Cove, treasure lists are static on each floor, but what varies is the number of chest each floor has, and these are randomly sorted for each run.
There is only one map in the Whisperwind Cove where ten treasure chests can appear. This map is a castle inhabited only by undead. The ten chests will always appear, regardless of which floor the map was found on.
