Trivia
- When Crush 40 performed this song live at Summer of Sonic 2010 in London, they changed the lyrics "by the table I command" to "by the table she commands" to be more sensitive towards the British crowd.[1]
- In the studio version, the line: "Here to conquer near and far" was changed into "Here to take you near and far".[2]
- There are several versions of this song that play throughout the game, but the full version is first heard during the credits after the completion of the Knight's Tale story.
- Jun Senoue created an instrumental version of this song that can only be heard on the game's soundtrack.
- An acoustic version was also created by Hikaru Tanimoto (featured on the soundtrack as well), with a much slower and more mellow pace. Because of this, the song runs considerably longer, at 5:37.
- Crush 40 posted an exclusive concert of them performing Knight of the Wind on YouTube, taped at ABS studio in Tokyo, Japan, on 31 October 2008.
- During the Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Symphony in 2021, lead singer Johnny Gioelli revealed that the song was one of his favourite Crush 40 songs.
