You know, there doesn't really have to be any kind of wind-slowing enchantment. First of all, the caves are not open to the outside.That's just about impossible. Secondly, the wind on the Outer Wall doesn't have to be slowed down. It could be incredibly windy, but Quote is a bad-ass robot so he toughs it out. Up on the Balcony the wind could be blocked by the tower that contains the Throne Room, so it wouldn't be too terrible.
As for the Balcony looking like it was designed for habitation, perhaps the island is usually floating with the wind, so it wouldn't be so bad.

Yeah, no arguing here.

I wasn't talking only about Quote, of course. He's not affected by the wind at all, because he's a little heavier than an average human, but that's not the point. My observations were based on the speed difference of the clouds in the background and the powerups in the foreground. (And Hoppers, of course. Forgot to mention those.)

Um... do you know that trick where you put a bottle in front of a lit candle and blow at the candle through the bottle. Well, technically not through, but rather around. That's aerodynamics. And that high in the sky, this won't really help you in any way.
Also, the wind can blow from any way, not just Tower-to-Balcony.

Yeah, that could be the case, but personally I doubt it.

Wind can only blow in one direction at a time, sir.
Which can vary, kid.

I sense a change in the wind...

And it can't change directions, why?
I don't think the Island changes directions, either, so the wind will eventually blow in from another point...

Power-ups could be pretty heavy...
But we don't know what they're made of, and such....

Energy crystals are Doritos, and the hearts are made of flesh and blood. That's what fuels Quote. You don't see it, but after the credit he goes on a feeding frenzy.

He must have gotten ahold of some pot somewhere in the game.

You can tell that Quote isn't a gay vampire because he doesn't sparkle in the sunlight.
