'''Tulin of the Rito'''
'''Tulin of the Rito'''


Link travels to the Rito village and discovers that the area is in the midst of an unprecedented blizzard which has forced many of the Rito adults to leave the village in the hands of their children while they go out to collect food and resources. The local stable has been sold to former rumor researcher [[Traysi]] and converted into the headquarters of the new [[Lucky Clover Gazette]]. Link gets hired as a reporter and is partnered with a Rito named [[Finn]]. Their job is to visit Hyrule's [[Stable]]s to gather intel on sightings of Princess Zelda. In [[Rito Village]], Link meets up with [[Teba]], who has taken over as the village elder upon the former elder's retirement. Teba is arguing with his young son [[Tulin]], a gifted flyer who wants to investigate the massive storm cluster high above the village, which they believe to be the source of the region's constant heavy snowfall.

Teba is arguing with his young son [[Tulin]], a gifted flyer who wants to investigate the massive storm cluster high above the village, which they believe to be the source of the region's constant heavy snowfall.
 
Tulin storms off from a fight with his father, convinced that he can investigate the source of the strange snowstorm battering [[Hebra]] and [[Rito Village]]. Soon after, while searching for news of Princess Zelda at the [[Hebra Trailhead Lodge]], [[Harth]] tells Link that Tulin may be able to help him, as his "wind-gust technique is something to see. None of the rest of us can pull it off. Even stern Teba acknowledges that Tulin's skill is a cut above. The kid does preen about it more than he should, but..."
 
After following him for a while, Link catches up with Tulin on the [[Hebra South Summit]], where an [[Aerocuda]] has stolen the young Rito warrior's [[Swallow Bow]]. When Link offers to help retrieve the bow, Tulin tells him he "can blow a strong gust of wind" anywhere he feels like, and offers to use it to help Link [[paraglider|glide]] over to where the Aerocuda was. Using it, they successfully retrieve Tulin's bow and defeat a group of monsters.
 
Harth then appears and, seeing Tulin has matured from the experience and learned to accept allies, tells him that they need to investigate the cloud; and he is the only Rito alive capable of making it into the heart of the storm, as only he has "the skill and training to create gusts at will". Working with Link and using his power of wind, the two ascend the [[Rising Island Chain]] high up into the sky, where they able to jump into the eye of the storm from the top. Within lies the [[Wind Temple (Tears of the Kingdom)|Wind Temple]], housing the flying monster [[Colgera]]. Upon defeating it, the blizzard battering [[Rito Village]] clears, and Tulin inherits a [[Secret Stone]] from his distant ancestor - the ancient Rito [[Sage]] of Wind - making himself the new Sage of Wind. From this point on, Tulin can create a remote avatar and, after making the [[Vow of Tulin, Sage of Wind]], has the avatar tied to a ring on Link's right pinky, accompanying Link permanently. This allows the [[Hylian]] [[Champion]] to call upon Tulin's Power of Wind anytime.  




'''Yunobo of the Gorons'''
'''Yunobo of the Gorons'''


Link travels towards [[Death Mountain]] and the city of the Gorons. On the way, other travelers warn him about avoiding Gorons with "[[Marbled Rock Roast|strange rocks]]". As he nears the mines and quarries of Death Mountain, Link runs into several Gorons with glowing red eyes lazing about eating Marbled Rock Roasts. The elder and younger of the Gorons who can't eat the tough rock "delicacy" try to stir their bewitched friends and family, who have all but halted regular work and at times turn to scamming travelers in order to get rupees for more Marbled Rock Roast. In Goron City, Link sees the Goron elder [[Bludo]] arguing with [[Yunobo]], descendant of Champion Daruk and CEO of the new "Yunobo, Co". Bludo asks Yunobo to quit mining the Marbled Rock Roasts, which have disrupted life in the city. Yunobo, with uncharacteristic bravado insists that Princess Zelda herself told him the Marbled Rock Roast was perfectly safe. He further states that he and his new company are responsible for the success of the Gorons and that Bludo should step aside and let Yunobo run things.

Yunobo, with uncharacteristic bravado, insists that Princess Zelda herself told him the Marbled Rock Roast was perfectly safe. He further states that he and his new company are responsible for the success of the Gorons and that Bludo should step aside and let Yunobo run things. [[Slergo]] and [[Offrak]], two young Gorons who work for Yunobo, suspect that something is amiss, as they desire of him to be his "old self" again and stop further mining of Marbled Rock Roast. Link finds the two of them at a cave near the YunoboCo HQ where Yunobo is consulting directly with Zelda right that second, and Link learns from them that Yunobo's personality changed decisively when he was ordered by Zelda to wear a "weird mask" that he first appears in. Slergo and Offrak allow Link inside the cave once he agrees to investigate.
 
The three of them witness Yunobo resuming his excavation of further rock roasts, with Zelda observing. Slergo and Offrak plead with him to stop, and to remove his mask so that he can revert to his old, nicer personality. When Yunobo briefly seems to consider, Zelda motions towards him, and Yunobo becomes visibly hypnotized, with his eyes and mask lighting up. He then directly engages Link in combat, with a boss bar title reading "Clearly Not Himself", and is swiftly subdued, with the mask shattering to pieces. A more familiar Yunobo reawakens, unaware of what has transpired since he first put on the mask. Looking to Zelda for answers, he notices her now outside of the cave, the exit of which becomes blocked by a cave-in of Marbled rocks, trapping Link, Yunobo, Slergo and Offrak inside. Thankfully, with [[Yunobo's Power of Fire]], they are able to exit with relative ease.
 
Outside of the cave, Yunobo is surprised by the haze of [[Gloom]] emanating from Death Mountain, and Slergo and Offrak refresh his memory of receiving the mask from Zelda at its summit when he went to initially investigate it following the [[Upheaval]]. Link and Yunobo scale the mountain using mine carts and witness Zelda disappear into a large plume of smoke that rises from the inner crater, erupting into the volcanic monster [[Moragia]]. Upon defeating it, they descend directly down into Death Mountain's crater, finding themselves in the volcanic [[Depths]] below. They encounter the [[Fire Temple(Tears of the Kingdom)|Fire Temple]] after traversing a path blocked by several walls of Marbled Rocks.
Within its main chamber lies the [[Marbled Gohma]], the source of the Marbled Rock Roast, and Yunobo and Link eliminate the rock roasts completely from Goron City with the monster's defeat. Yunobo also inherits a [[Secret Stone]] from his distant ancestor - the ancient Goron [[Sage]] of Fire - making himself the new Sage of Fire. From this point on, Yunobo can create a remote avatar and, after making the [[Vow of Yunobo, Sage of Fire]], has the avatar tied to a ring on Link's right thumb, accompanying Link permanently. This allows the [[Hylian]] [[Champion]] to call upon Yunobo's Power of Fire anytime.
 
 
'''Sidon of the Zora'''
 
Link travels towards Zora's Domain and finds the land and water polluted heavily by a thick oily [[Sludge]], making traversal and movement immensely limited in several areas. The Zora have attempted to confront the sludge using [[Splash Fruit], but have run out of supply, with numerous Zora having been wounded. Among the wounded Zora include [[King Dorephan]], who has hidden himself away in the [[Pristine Sanctum]]. Link learns from him that Princess Zelda descended from the sky on a huge sludge monster, uncharacteristically unleashing it upon the Zora, with King Dorephan sustaining his injuries from vanquishing the beast. Despite these efforts, the sludge continues to pour. Three Zora are in the middle of discussing other options when Link -- who they do not initially recognize -- arrives to the center of the Domain. After cleansing sludge off of the central statue depicting [[Prince Sidon]] and Link during their previous campaign to save the Domain, Link is recognized from the statue, and Yona, the fiancee of of Sidon, introduces herself. Yona had heard of Link almost every day from Sidon since arriving at the domain, and recommends that Link see him again up at [[Mipha Court]], on a now more developed [[Polymus Mountain]]. Yona also provides Link with the [[Zora Armor]] once more from the previous game after receiving an [[Ancient Arowana]] to finish repairing it using its scales.
 
Sidon, who has been diligently using his Power of Water to separate the sludge from the water that flows into the Domain, is characteristically overjoyed to see Link once more. He recommends that Link speak with the Zora historian [[Jiahto]] at [[Toto Lake]], who has been investigating connections linking the Zora to the sky as a way to further dissect the mystery behind the sludge's presence. A riddle inscribed on an ancient Zora tablet brings Link to [[Floating Scales Island]], the "land of the sky fish", where he fuses a [[King's Scale]] provided by King Dorephan to an arrow and looses it through a formation of floating rocks that form the shape of a teardrop from a certain position. This causes a pillar of light to appear in the [[East Reservoir Lake]]. Link goes to report to Sidon, who is talking with [[Yona]] who's presence this close to the sludge has him fearing for her safety. At that moment, the three of them are ambushed by a [[Sludge Like]], and Link and [[Sidon]] unite once more to defeat it, with [[Sidon's Power of Water]] proving uniquely useful.
 
Sidon continues to worry about Yona, but Yona correctly identifies that Sidon is yielding to the fear of losing someone he loves, with the loss of his older sister [[Mipha]] still weighing on him. Yona insists that Sidon must overcome his past and face the future with courage as the next-in-line ruler of the Domain, and to trust the domain with Yona as he ventures with Link to investigate. After enthusiastically swearing himself to this end, Sidon and Link head to the source of the light pillar, which opens up a whirlpool leading to the underground [[Ancient Zora Waterworks]]. Upon activating the Zonai terminal at its center, a tremendous water falls from the sky onto the Lake, allowing Sidon and Link to swim up it and reach [[Wellspring Island]], where the gravity is noticeably lower. They eventually navigate their way up to the [[Water Temple]], where they find and eventually battle the source of the sludge, the mischievous [[Mucktorok]]. Zora's Domain is cleansed completely upon its defeat, and all the wounded Zora including King Dorephan are fully healed. Sidon inherits a [[Secret Stone]] from his distant ancestor - the ancient Zora [[Sage]] of Water - making himself the new Sage of Water. From this point on, Sidon can create a remote avatar and, after making the [[Vow of Sidon, Sage of Water]], has the avatar tied to a ring on Link's right pointer finger, accompanying Link permanently. This allows the [[Hylian]] [[Champion]] to call upon Sidon's Power of Water anytime. King Dorephan takes the opportunity to retire as King, and Sidon and Yona become the new King and Queen of Zora's Domain.
 
'''Riju of Gerudo Town'''
 
Link journeys to the Gerudo Desert and finds that it has become blanketed by a heavy sand shroud. Along his attempts to navigate his way to [[Gerudo Town]], he encounters strange and resilient zombie-like creatures known as [[Gibdo]]s. Eventually he makes it to Gerudo Town, finding it completely deserted. The entire town has evacuated to an underground Gerudo Shelter, and upon Link making his way inside of it, learns from her chief bodyguard [[Buliara]] that [[Riju]] is training in the [[North Gerudo Ruins]]. Despite the Gerudo's traditional law of not allowing any [[voe]] within the town's walls, Link is given near unprecedented access to the town and its resources as a special guest.
 
Riju is encountered attempting to master her Power of Lightning, and with Link's help, is able to channel it accurately by following Link's arrows. They are then both ambushed by a group of Gibdos, and discover by putting [[Riju's Power of Lightning]] into action that Gibdos are tremendously weak to electricity. Just at that moment, [[Kara Kara Bazaar]] is beset by a hive full of Gibdos, and in defending the town from the onslaught, Link and Riju additionally discover that [[Riju's Power of Lightning]] is effective in destroying their hives. Just as the Bazaar is liberated however, four more hives appear around Gerudo Town, and Zelda is briefly spotted walking towards them. In Gerudo Town, Link works with Riju, Buliara and the Gerudo soldiers to strategize proper defenses in keeping the town safe from the coming invasion, with all soldiers now equipped with electric spears, and all eventually succeed in doing so after destroying all the hives and waves of Gibdos and [[Moth Gibdo]]s.  


Riju then investigates an ancient mural in the shelter upon hearing a mysterious voice telling her and Link to come to it, and Link uses the guidance of the mural to align a path of reflected light between three stone pillars in the [[Gerudo Desert]]. Doing so causes a lightning-powered pedestal to appear in the center of the pillars, and Riju and Link briefly see Zelda standing in front of it before she vanishes. Riju uses her Power of Lightning to activate the pedestal, and the [[Lightning Temple]] rises up from the sand. It's entrance is blocked by a cocoon that looks like a larger Gibdo hive, and upon shattering it Link and Riju are attacked by the source of the Gibdos and the sand shroud, the [[Queen Gibdo]]. It hastily retreats to the temple's top floor upon being struck by Riju's lightning, and Link and Riju venture inside the temple and navigate their way up to it, defeating it after an intense fight. The sand shroud and most of the Gibdos vanish from Gerudo Desert, and Gerudo Town repopulates back on the surface once more. Riju inherits a [[Secret Stone]] from her distant ancestor - the ancient Gerudo [[Sage]] of Lightning, who emphasizes the Gerudo's role in bringing the [[Demon King Ganondorf|Demon King]] into the world - making herself the new Sage of Lightning. From this point on, Riju can create a remote avatar and, after making the [[Vow of Riju, Sage of Lightning]], has the avatar tied to a ring on Link's right ring finger, accompanying Link permanently. This allows the [[Hylian]] [[Champion]] to call upon Riju's Power of Lightning anytime.
