The 1989 manual to ''Dragon Warrior'' provided the following info for the wings: "Another legend has it that, when lightning strikes and kills a Wyvern, its wings fall down to earth with their magical flying powers still intact. Using these wings will bring you back to Tantegel Castle."
Wing of the wyvern can be purchased for 80 gold coins (while in the [[Game Boy|GBC]] Version, they can be purchased for 25 gold coins and sold for 19).  As with the [[Zoom|Return]] spell, they can be used to return to the recent save area.
