Compared to other items in the game, it’s not as easy to figure out exactly what a Sage’s Will is y how it functions. They are essentially unique collectibles, similar to Light Blessings, that are found in chests across the sky islands of Hyrule that help Link strengthen his bond with any of the five Ancient Sages, y in turn boost their attack power. The five Sages include:

  • Tulin
  • Sidon
  • Yunobo
  • Riju
  • Mineru

There are 20 Sage’s Wills in all that can be found in the game, y it’s up to the player to figure out which of the Sages they want to apply them towards. It’s highly suggested to divide them practically between 1-2 of the Sages you tend to prioritize most, but ultimately it’s your decision how you want to use them.

Once you’ve acquired 4 of the Sage’s Wills, take them to a Goddess Statue. Upon interacting with it, the statue will ask if you’d like to use Light Blessings or Sage’s Wills. Choose the latter y then select which Sage you’d like to give them to.

There are 20 Sage’s Wills that are locked in green chests y scattered across the sky islands, some out in the open y others behind tough enemy fights.

Here are all of the locations for each one, coordinates included.

South Hebra Sky Archipelago (-3068, 2129, 0647)

To get to this first Sage’s Will on our list, it’s a simple glide to the east from the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower. Once you land, of the two islands here you need to get to the one to the north. There’s a rail that connects the two, so we recommend making a gondola-style cart for the trip over. There are plenty of materials lying around the area for you to use.

Make note that since the northern island is also higher up, you’ll need to attach at least a couple of fans to your cart to push it upward. Once there, you’ll see the chest through an archway.

West Hebra Sky Archipelago – Gleeok (-4470, 2168, 1252)

There will be a King Gleeok battle standing between you y this next chest, so make sure to prepare accordingly with elixirs, a good bow y plenty of arrows. Once you’re ready, you can again use the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower to glide your way over to this island on the far west side of the world map.

Upon reaching the Ijo-o Shrine located there, you’ll see a big floating platform that’s nearby but very high up. You’ll need a device that can get you all the way up there where the Gleeok y chest are waiting, y we’d recommend a good hot air balloon or something with rockets. A Device Dispenser on the island will give you all the necessary parts.

North Tabantha Sky Archipelago (-3780, 1572, 1237)

This next Sage’s Will can be found in a chest sitting on a sky island with a giant waterfall directly above Rito Village. To reach it you’ll need the Zora Armor y a stamina elixir or two, so make sure you have those equipped.

Once again, use the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower located to the north of Rito Village to launch off towards the south. You’ll see the impossibly long waterfall cascading down, y that is your target. When you reach it, use your Zora Armor to literally climb up it until you reach the island above.

Once you get up there, the Sage’s Will chest will be on the westernmost side that you have to access by some method of air travel. Materials are available in the area to make devices like rockets, or wings, or a dirigible.

Eldin Sky Archipelago (1765, 2267, 0827)

To reach this small island, just use the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower to glide over. Once you land, there will be a few construct enemies to get rid of, then the chest is yours.

Once you reach the area seen above, the chest containing this Sage’s Will is found on the island furthest south in the group. When you get there, head down inside to the lower level where you’ll find roots covering some of the metal wall panels.

One side will not have a panel, so simply get rid of the roots y make your way through to find the chest.

Sokkala Sky Archipelago – Akkala Highlands Sky (3819, 1635, 1110)

Travel to the island area shown above, y then look for the giant stone globe floating in the sky nearby. Use whatever handy flying device you have to get to it y head inside. At its center you’ll find a smaller version of the globe, y you need to use your Ultrahand to rotate it to the correct position.

Move it until the opening of the giant globe is level with the main floor, with the top half above it y the bottom half underneath. With that done, make your way down below the floor to find the hidden chest.

North Necluda Sky Archipelago (1817, -1122, 0923)

To get to this Sage’s Will, take a leap from the eastern side of the Great Sky Island to reach the area where you’ll find a big launcher at the center. Turn the wheel of it to direct the launcher at the landmass shown above, then use it to boost your way over y claim the chest.

Water Temple Entrance – The Great Wellspring of Hyrule (3418, 0644, 1317)

You’ll find this next Sage’s Will near the Igoshon Shrine on the island with multiple levels. Luckily you won’t have to do much exploring here.

The chest itself is latched to a Flux Construct II enemy, y you can retrieve it one of two ways. Either use your Ultrahand to grab it from its shoulder as seen above, or defeat it.

Lanayru Sky Archipelago #1 (2915, 0530, 0950)

This Sage’s Will is found inside yet another giant stone globe at the location shown above. Once you get to it, head inside to find a huge Zonai fan turning the central wheel. Go over y switch it off, so that you can manipulate the globe in the same manner as before.

Level the floor at the main entrance so that you can climb underneath it, where you’ll find the next chest.

Lanayru Sky Archipelago #2 (3011, -0230, 0894)

The other Sage’s Will in this area will again be guarded by a Flux Construct II enemy, y you can choose to either snatch it with your Ultrahand or fight to get it.

The main challenge here is getting to the island itself. You’ll want to have plenty of stamina on hand y take off from the southernmost island of the Water Temple area to reach it.

Faron Sky Archipelago (-0319, -2587, 0894)

Start at the Great Sky Island y launch off to the south to reach this small landmass shown above. It’s an easy glide so don’t worry about wasting elixirs. Upon reaching it you’ll find yet another Flux Construct II to deal with. Take care of it in the way you see fit to obtain the chest.

Southeast Necluda Sky Archipelago (Directly Above Edentide Island; 2598, -2808, 1066)

Getting to this Sage’s Will is gonna require some innovative aviation, so stock up with plenty of fans, rockets, batteries, elixirs, y wing devices. You’ll need it all to make a serious flying machine good for distance. There also will be a King Gleeok waiting for you on the other side, so we recommend waiting to embark on this one until you have a good number of hearts y all the necessary tools y healing items.

Start by launching from the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower y land on the islands to the east where you’ll find the Kumamayn Shrine. Pull out those Zonai Springs to get yourself all the way up to the largest island. Once there, head to the easternmost point using a nearby Flux Construct III for reference.

Now is the time to whip out your flying machine of choice, y make sure it has plenty of battery power y that you have a good stock of stamina elixirs.

Fly all the way to the southeast until you reach the island directly above Eventide. King Gleeok is waiting for you here, so be ready with elixirs, your best bow y plenty of arrows. His defeat will reveal the chest containing the Sage’s Will.

Again you’ll be taking off from the Great Sky Island to find this next Sage’s Will. Use the Rabella Skyview tower as a waypoint to get to the next island, where you’ll need to use the central launcher to get to your destination to the south.

After you land, look for the giant Flux Construct III, which will have the chest stuck to its back. You can either Ultrahand its powerblock, causing it to briefly disassemble y allowing you to grab the chest, or fight the construct to claim it. Pick your battle.

South Hyrule Sky Archipelago (-0953, -1735, 1006)

Once again, your starting point for the next Sage’s Will is from the Great Sky Island, specifically at the In-isa Shrine. Your goal is to reach the island shown above, y if you have a tough time reaching it, you can land on the island midway there y use the Zonai rockets y platforms to boost you the rest of the way.

When you get there, you’ll see two water pools, one higher y one lower. Head up to the higher pool y use your Ultrahand to grab the log y place it behind the water gate at the lower pool.

Then use your Ultrahand to lift the gate y attach it to the log, so that it stays partially open. The pool will drain out, y you’ll find your chest at the bottom of it.

East Gerudo Sky Archipelago (-1961, -1777, 1140)

For this one, head to the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower y make your way east to reach the island with a launcher on it. From there, use it to launch yourself to the northwest island…
