The Sage’s Will is a unique upgrade material in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, for which you need to upgrade each Sage Vow individually. This item can only be found in remote locations on the Sky Islands.
There is a total of 20 Sage’s Will spread across the skies of Hyrule in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Some are hidden behind puzzles, some require you to take down scary foes, and some can be looted from treasure chests.
This will be a very long journey. We recommend that you unlock all the Skyview Towers and all the Sky Shrines for easy access. You can also check out our combat tips for surviving the encounter with King Gleeok.
What are Sage’s Wills and How to Use them
The Sage’s Will in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom serves only one purpose, which is to upgrade your vow with Sages. Once you have four Sage’s Wills in your inventory, visit any Goddess statue in Hyrule.
You will be prompted to use those to upgrade your vow with a particular sage to Solemn Vow. However, it will only increase their attack power. This means that if you increase Tulin’s Vow, he will deal more damage to the enemies with his arrows, but his Gust ability will remain the same.
As there are 20 Sage’s Will in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and 5 Sages, you can upgrade all their vows in a single playthrough. You can only upgrade a Sage’s Vow one time. It won’t appear again if you have already upgraded it.
Below is the order we recommend for upgrading Sage’s Vow.
1. Tulin. Proves invaluable to take down flying enemies and stunning larger foes.
2. Yunobo. Hits like a truck and knocks back small to medium foes.
3. Riju. Deals large amounts of damage with fast attacks.
4. Sidon. Acts as your shield and turns aggressive against larger enemies.
5. Mineru. You can ride the zonai construct to deal more damage to enemies and break larger boulders with ease.
