Updated June 27, 2025, by Christopher Norman Worcester:To find every Sage’s Will, TotK players are going to have to scour the skies above Hyrule, hopping from island to island and taking on one or two truly terrifying beasts along the way. To make life a little easier, this Sage’s Will locations guide has been updated with a few additional tips and tricks for those who are hoping to upgrade all of their Tears of the Kingdom Sages before completing the game.
Preparing to Search for Sage’s Wills in Tears of the Kingdom
Before heading out to collect every Sage’s Will,TotKplayers must first make sure that they are well-prepared. As such, they should consider using the following tactics while exploring the Sky Islands:
Every TotK Sage’s Will
In total, there are 20 Sage’s Wills forTears of the Kingdomplayers to find throughout Hyrule’s Sky Islands, most of which are fairly easy to reach. However, Sage’s Will 8 is found on a platform high above Eventide Island, and 19 & 20 are found on the Thunderhead Isles, which will be covered by a storm for most of the game. With this in mind, it is generally better to get these ones last.
Sage’s Will 1: Eldin Sky Archipelago
Starting at the top of the map of Hyrule, the firstTotKSage’s Will can be found in the Eldin Sky Archipelago. The island itself is low and can be reached from multiple nearby locations, including the Typhlo Ruins (Eldin Mountains) and Ulri Mountains (Akkala Highlands) Skyview Towers. Link can also use multiple shrines on the surrounding archipelagos to reach this chest, includingSimosiwak Shrine(North Hyrule), Mayam Shrine (North Hyrule), and Kadaunar Shrine (South Eldin).
The chest is found in a small building in the center of the island.
Sage’s Will 1 Chest Coordinates:1765, 2267, 0827
Sage’s Will 2: South Eldin Sky Archipelago
Usingthe Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower, players should launch into the air and land on the large island that sits furthest south in the chain. Link will need to head to the northern edge of the island and drop to the second of three levels. Once there, players should look for a gated-off section covered in vines, as one section is not barred in. They’ll need to clear the vines and enter the area behind the gate to find the chest.
Sage’s Will 2 Chest Coordinates:1780, 0981, 1226
Sage’s Will 3: Sokkala Sky Archipelago
This chest is found in the massive floating orb found within the Sokkala Sky Islands. If Link has not completed the nearby shrine, he can reach the area from the Water Temple, orthe Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower.
Players should enter the inside of the orb by climbing the sides, or by gliding/flying in. The chest is located on a lower level, which can only be accessed by moving the opening into a position that allows Link to enter. To do this, players will need to use Ultrahand to place the opening along the equator, or perfectly lined up with the ground that Link is on. This will allow him to head to the opening and drop to the lower level. The chest is sitting in the middle of the lower chamber.
Sage’s Will 3 Chest Coordinates:3811, 1582, 1144
Sage’s Will 4: Wellspring Island - Flux Construct II
To reach the fourth Sage’s Will,TotKplayers should wait until Link is making his way throughthe “Sidon of the Zora” main queston his way to the Water Temple. During that mission, he can unlock fast-travel points at two locations: the Water Temple and Igoshon Shrine.
The chest itself is located on the shoulder of aFlux Construct II miniboss. The battle arena is found directly below the water temple. Players can look at the map to see the exact location that Link should be lined up with to find the construct. After defeating the enemy, players can recover the Sage’s Will.

Sage’s Will 5 & 6: Lanayru Sky Archipelago - Flux Construct II
Sage’s Will 5: Near Jirutagumac Shrine
This chest is located inside a large orb that floats along the Lanayru chain of islands. Jirutagumac Shrine is found inside this orb, so if players have completed it, they should fast travel to it. If not, Link can reach the orb by usingthe Upland Zorana Skyview Tower(2866, 0581, 0379), which is located directly below on the surface.
Once inside the orb, Link will see a turning wheel being pushed by a fan, causing the outer shell to constantly turn.Link can use Ultrahand on the turn-wheel, then wiggle the right stick to break the fan free. After doing so, players need to use the wheel to place the large opening perfectly lined up with the ground. Link will then head to the opening, and drop to the lower chamber to find the chest sitting in the middle of the room.

Sage’s Will 6: Floating Construct Arena
Just south of the orb where Link finds Sage’s Will 5, he will findTotKSage’s Will 6 on another Flux Construct. He can once again use the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower (2866, 0581, 0379) to reach it. This will be another Flux Construct II battle, with the chest starting out on the enemy’s shoulder.
Sage’s Will 6 Chest Coordinates:2987, -0235, 0894
Sage’s Will 7: North Necluda Sky Archipelago
Looking at the small chain of islands in the North Necluda Archipelago, which sits just east of the Great Sky Island, there will be a small, circular platform at the far eastern edge. This is where Link must reach. Ifthe Josiu shrineis not available to the player as a fast travel point, they should use the Great Sky Island as a starting point to fly or glide.
In the center section of the archipelago, Link will find a device that can launch him into the air. This mechanism will send him directly to the small island that he’ll need to visit. At night, the island is very hard to miss, as it is covered in Luminous Ore. The chest will be found on the back side of the island.
Sage’s Will 7 Chest Coordinates:1935, -1064, 0961
Sage’s Will 8: Over Eventide Island - King Gleeok
Getting to this island can be a considerable challenge, as the closest shrine isthe Kumamayn Shrine, which is located in the Necluda Sky Archipelago. If Link has not unlocked the shrine on these islands, he can use the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower (2419, -2762, 0222) to reach them. From here, the best option is to load up on stamina-replenishing meals and elixirs, build a flying machine, and head out as far as possible, then glide the rest of the way if needed. Having the Vow of Tulin, which is awarded following the completion of the “Tulin of Rito Village” mission, can make all the difference in this endeavor.
Once Link does make it to the island, he’ll have to facethe formidable King Gleeok. This version of the three-headed dragon uses three different elements, instead of the usual one. The key to this fight is having at least one powerful bow, like the multi-shot bows gained from a Lynel. As the King Gleeok’s eyes are still its primary weak point, having a bow that fires multiple arrows at once can make the fight much easier. If Link does not possess a bow of this nature, it is better to wait until he does to head after this Sage’s Will. Unfortunately for Link, the King Gleeok must be defeated to claim the Sage’s Will, as the chest opening is tied to the death of the monster.
It is worth completing the “East Necluda Sky Crystal” mission to unlock the Kumamayn Shrine fast-travel point on the Necluda Sky Archipelago.
Sage’s Will 8 Chest Coordinates:4652, -3828, 1065
Sage’s Will 9: South Necluda Sky Archipelago - Flux Construct III
Heading back to the same base platform that Link left from to reach Eventide Island, the next Sage’s Will can be found on a much closer island in the South Necluda Sky Archipelago. Link can use the launching mechanism on the center island and glide to the desired location without much hassle.
This time around, Link will face a Flux Construct III, which is slightly tougher than the previous model but should not pose too much of a threat. Once the enemy is defeated, players can open the chest to claim Sage’s Will 9.
Sage’s Will 9 Chest Coordinates:2559, -3601, 0894

Sage’s Will 10: Faron Sky Archipelago - Flux Construct III
This island is located directly above Lake Hylia, and can be easily reached fromthe In-isa Shrineon the western edge of the Great Sky Island. Link will face another Flux Construct III, acquiringTotKSage’s Will 10 once it is defeated.
Sage’s Will 10 Chest Coordinates:-0326, -2591, 0894
Sage’s Will 11: South Hyrule Sky Archipelago
Link can glide to the island in the image from the western edge of the Great Sky Island, or the East Gerudo Sky Archipelago. Once on the island, Link will notice two small pools. Players should head to the lower of the two to find a tricky little puzzle.
There is a stone gate that allows the pool to drain, and Link must find a way to keep the gate up long enough for him to open a chest at the bottom of the pool. If Link heads to the upper pool, he’ll see a log sitting against that pool’s gate. He’ll need to bring that log back down to the lower pool, stand it upright behind the gate, and then use Ultrahand to raise the gate as high as it will go before attaching it to the log. This will allow Link to have all the time in the world to open the chest at the bottom.
