Unlike in other games, Wind Resistance does not reduce the damage from Wind-type attacks, but lowers the chance of being {{c|Ignite|status}}d. Xaldin has an innate resistance to Wind, while some Ring Panels provide Wind Resistance when equipped.

Several recurring elements in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series incorporate Aero or wind into their design or conceptualization.
[[Aero]] magic utilizes wind, but it does not inflict Aero damage aside from Aero magic in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''. Similarly, [[Wind Raid]], [[Tornado]], [[Tornado Strike]], and [[Windcutter]] are skills that utilize wind, although they do not inflict Aero damage.
The [[air-toss]] status effect is closely associated with Aero, especially in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', in which Aero-themed equipment, abilities and accessories allow the player to inflict enemies with or protect the player from being air-tossed.
The [[Gust]] synthesis materials are said to contain the essence of wind.
Most [[Wing Gummi]] blocks in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' are named after Aero magic and wind-related terms, and Aero Gummis are a type of [[Material Gummi]] that increase a [[Gummi Ship]]'s mobility.
Certain weapons and accessories are associated with Aero. The [[Wayward Wind]] is wielded by [[Ventus]], who is himself associated with wind. Many of [[Xaldin]]'s lances are given names associated with wind or air.
Goofy's [[Seven Elements]], which represents the seven types of magic appearing in ''Kingdom Hearts'', includes a circular portion adorned with a green spiral, representing Aero.
The accessories that protect specifically against air-tossing are named after wind-related terms.
