Aahhh pretty clever now that I saw you explain it! The wind is annoying at times but it does add an element or realism, since in real life archery it's not like you just point the arrow at the target and have it go the same exact trajectory every time

Realism is not that important in non-simulation game development. Like in Kerbal Space Program you DO need it and it is a good goal.
If the design goal were a correct archery simulator it would also be desired.
But not here.
Here the wind should have been an external element that cannot be controlled, be a variable element of the puzzle that you need to dynamically adjust to and also have a metaphorical plot role in the final level.
However for these tasks it turned out imbalanced and bad.
Ideally for example that almost for any given windspeed there were a shot trajectory that does hit the target except for some plot exceptions, but right now it is not so.
Basically the wind may be somewhat punishing only in it's first occurence and in the last level.
Having a situation when you need to spam arrows in one direction is dull and should be limited to where plot really needs it.
I will need to rebalance it later.
