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. | 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]].

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. | 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".

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. [[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. | Link travels towards [[Death Mountain]] and the city of the Gorons.

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. | The three of them witness Yunobo resuming his excavation of further rock roasts, with Zelda observing.

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. | 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]].

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.

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. | Link journeys to the Gerudo Desert and finds that it has become blanketed by a heavy sand shroud.

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, three 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 and flame weapons, and they eventually succeed in 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, of which a similar message was inscribed upon the mural by Gerudo ancestors. 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. Its 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.
