In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Tulin of Rito Village is a major quest set in the cold mountains of the Hebra Region. It is one of the four quests that make up the “Regional Phenomena” main quest and unlock the services of the Wind Sage.
It begins when you talk to the elder in Rito Village. At the end of this quest, you will get the services of Tulin. The elder has no information on Princess Zelda, but he points to Harth at a lodge nearby, who might. This place is at the base of the Hebra mountains. You can find it marked by bonfires.
To help you on your journey, we have compiled a walkthrough that can easily be followed to complete the “Tulin of Rito Village” main quest.
Tulin of Rito Village – All Objectives
Much of the main quest involves exploring, some fetching, solving a legacy dungeon, and a boss fight at the end. You will also need to get to a temple and open it, which is a long task. The quest starts at the Rito Village right after you talk to Teba. He will then tell you to meet Harth.
Here are the objectives of the quest:
Seek out Harth at the Lodge
Check your map to see where you have to go. There are two ways to get there. You can fast-travel to the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower and proceed from there. But you need to have discovered and activated it to do so. Or, you can go to the Lucky Clover Gazette instead and proceed Northwest from here.
Once you get there, talk to Harth. He is a purple-black character who can’t be missed. Approach him and talk to him.
Seek Tulin in the Mountain Cave
Now, Harth will tell you that Tulin and others went up the cave to find food. It is up to you to find Tulin now. Outside of the lodge, there will be ladders you can take to go up.
Up there, follow the path to reach the cave and then enter it. Go right and follow the path. You will paraglide to go further inside.
Light the bonfire in the large room and throw a Hylian Pine Cone into it to create an updraft that you can use to paraglide. Go further until you meet Gesane, who’ll tell you that Tulin is at Tolonto Peak in Tears of the Kingdom.
Seek out Tulin on Tolonto Peak
After talking to Gesane, continue on the path to leave the cave. From here, you need to go North. The way ahead is simple.
Use the gusts of wind from the mountaintop to float to the big mountain ahead. This is Tolonto Peak, and you’ll find Tulin here. Go as far as the gusts of wind take you and climb the rest of the way.
Retrieve Tulin’s Bow
After meeting Tulin, he will tell you he’s lost his bow and needs you to get it. The good news is, he’ll help you. It was taken by a flying monster in the distance, and to get to him, you need wind. Ask Tulin to follow and then have him cast a gust of wind.
Use this to fly to the platform under the flying monster. Shoot at it, and a cutscene will play. Kill the monsters that appear after, and soon, Harth and Gesane will arrive. They want you and Tulin to see the storm clouds near Hebra Peak.
Get to Hebra Peak
The route to Hebra Peak is straightforward. The plan is to use Tulin’s gust of winds to fly between platforms and reach the top of Hebra Peak.
You will have a waypoint to follow to track your progress from there. You’ll only encounter one enemy on the way so take care of him when you get to it. There will be another NPC here you can talk to.
Get to the Rising Island Chain
From the NPC, you must reach the top of the Rising Island Chain. Use Tulin’s wind ability to fly until you reach a tower. Here, you will need to climb.
You will reach another tower with a shrine on it. Position yourself under it and then use Ascend to go to the top. Now, you must investigate the storm cloud.
Look into the Storm Cloud
The next objective of the Tulin of Rito Village quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is to go through the storm cloud. Continue on the path until you reach a boat sail you can jump onto and then paraglide the rest of the way to the Mayaumekis Shrine. Activate it to create a fast travel point, but you can skip it if you’re in a hurry.
The next section requires you to use a combination of flying, using your Ascend ability, and shooting at icicles.
Due to the cold weather, there will be many icicles here. You won’t be able to progress until you shoot them out of the way. Read our detailed guide to learn how to Investigate the Storm Cloud in Zelda: TotK.
Open the locks at the Wind Temple
We have now arrived at the Wind Temple. To enter, we must unlock five locks. To do so, you will need to use your Ultrahand, Ascend, and Recall abilities. You will also need to use Tulin’s gusts of wind to reach the objectives.
In the end, you will need to start 5 fans which open the locks to the Wind Temple. Read our detailed guide here to learn how to Unlock Wind Temple Locks.
Defeat Colgera
At long last, the boss has arrived. Defeating Colgera is a peculiar task because you won’t be attacking it directly. However, it would be best to have a TON of healing items since Colgera can easily one-shot you.
The goal is to hit purple ice on Colgera’s abdomen region three times for each phase. In phase 1, it will shoot out purple ice from its back, which you can fly through.
Dodge the attack from below and then repeat it two times. In Phase 2, the strategy is similar, but this time, Colgera releases tornadoes at you. Fly under or over these. Keep repeating this strategy to defeat the Scourge of the Wind Temple, Colgera.
Return to the Rito Village
A few cutscenes will play, after which you can pick up a Heart container as a reward. Talk to Tulin, and you’ll be taken back to the Rito Village after this automatically, where the quest ends.
You will have completed the “Tulin of Rito Village” quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The reward for completing this quest is Tulin’s Vow. Now, you can call his avatar any time to help you with his Gust of Wind ability.
