Family
Sages are recurring characters inThe Legend of Zelda series.[1] Serving as a bridge between theSacred Realm andHyrule, guarding theMaster Sword's power and executing those who pose a high threat to Hyrule are included with their duties, leaving their purpose to best be described as protectors of the kingdom. This puts them among the most important of itsheroes' allies, however rarely without price. The Sages often only take on these roles upon being "awakened" during a time that they are required, their role predetermined through a spiritual lineage or bloodline connecting them to a past Sage. Throughout Hyrule's history, Sages have been abducted and killed to prevent them from uniting their powers against evildoers. In such cases, only the Hero has what it takes to save them or find and awaken the new Sages to aid him in return.
There are currently 10 types of Sages known to exist, all representing a certain concept: Light, Shadow, Spirit, Forest, Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Time.
The Sages of Fire, Water, and Spirit appear inOcarina of Time,Twilight Princess,[2] andTears of the Kingdom. Sages of Light, Forest, and Shadow appear inOcarina of Time andTwilight Princess.[2] Sages of Wind appear inThe Wind Waker[3] andTears of the Kingdom. Sages of Earth are only known to appear inThe Wind Waker,[4] and Sages of Lightning and Time are only known to appear inTears of the Kingdom.Princess Zelda, who is the Sage of Time inTears of the Kingdom, has no known elemental crest associated with her inOcarina of Time.[2]
Ocarina of Time introduces seven Sages, which includes their leader, Princess Zelda. Six Sages, with the same symbols on their clothing as those associated with six ofOcarina of Time's Sages, appear inTwilight Princess.[2] Two sages appear inThe Wind Waker, whose function is to take care of the Master Sword'sPower to Repel Evil.[3][4]Tears of the Kingdom features six Sages led by KingRauru, aZonai and not a Sage himself. Zelda is one of the Sages. Their functions do not involve the Sacred Realm, but they do attempt to protect Hyrule.[5][6] A group of seven Sages, none of whom are Princess Zelda, appear inA Link Between Worlds.[7]
The Ancient Sages
The original Sages, commonly known as theAncient Sages, have not, as a group, made an in-game appearance with the exception ofRauru,[8] who assumes in several instances the form of anowl in order to provide guidance to theHero of Time.[9]
Because they have yet to be featured as the main group of Sages in aZelda title, knowledge of them is limited; however, legends of their wisdom have been passed down for centuries; among the accomplishments attributed to them are the crafting of theMaster Sword[10] and the construction of theTemple of Time.[11][12]
Biography
The Legend of Zelda
The threeOld Men who provide Link withSwords are Sages.[13]
The Adventure of Link
InThe Adventure of Link, a Sage keeps theTriforce of Courage. WhenLink enters the chamber of theTriforce, the Sage stands atop a pillar and summonsLink's Shadow out of Link's body. When Link defeats his dark counterpart, the Sage hands him the Triforce of Courage.
A Link to the Past
Long before the events ofA Link to the Past, the Seven Sages joined forces with theKnights of Hyrule to sealGanon away in theSacred Realm and prevent him from taking over theLight World.
Prior to Link's quest,Agahnim, the lateKing's right-hand man, used his power to find and capture the sevenMaidens, who were descendants of the Seven Sages. While not as strong as their ancestors, the Maidens had inherited their magical abilities.[14] Agahnim planned to send them to theDark World one by one in order to destroy theSeal of the Seven Wise Men that kept Ganon locked up.[15][16]
Princess Zelda was to be the seventh sacrifice, but she managed to telepathically send a message toLink, requesting him to rescue her.[17] Succeeding in bringing her to safety, Link was told to meetSahasrahla, theKakariko Village elder and a descendant of the Seven Sages,[18] to find a permanent solution to the threat hanging over Hyrule. Sahasrahla in turn provided Link with information on his next course of action, thePegasus Shoes - a treasure passed down by the families of the Sages - and the notion he would keep in telepathic contact with him. On his quest to obtain theMaster Sword, Link also metAginah, another descendant of the Seven Sages, who like Sahasrahla went into hiding. He informed Link about theBook of Mudora, while thegrandfather of one of the Maidens later gives him theMagic Mirror and details on the whereabouts and use of theMoon Pearl.
Through all this, Link could find and claim the Master Sword, at which point Zelda sent him a telepathic message once more that thesoldiers had found her.[19] Despite his best efforts, he could not prevent her becoming the seventh sacrifice and being sent to the Dark World. All was not lost though, as Sahasrahla told Link that victory was still in reach if he could rescue the Maidens and claim back theTriforce.[20]
Ocarina of Time
InOcarina of Time, the nature of the Sages is further elaborated on. Each Sage (bar the seventh) is established to have their own associated element, an accompanying symbol and appropriately themed temple. At times of peace, there are no Sages, only those who could become them if evil takes control overHyrule. If that happens, the Sacred Realm sends out a call to them, awakening the destined ones as Sages.[21] Usually, the Sages-to-be have no knowledge about their status until they are awakened. An exception to this is the seventh Sage, who is always a member of theRoyal Family of Hyrule, keepers of much of Hyrule's history.
As revealed byRauru, the original Sages were the ones who built theTemple of Time to protect theTriforce against those who would use it for evil.[22] The Triforce was hidden in theTemple of Light, the only Sage-temple to be built in the Sacred Realm. While each of the Sage-temples seems to grant access to it, only the Temple of Time is meant to do so for non-Sages. Therefore, it was protected with a seal controlled by theMaster Sword, which evil cannot touch, and the Door of Time, which could not be opened unless one possessed the threeSpiritual Stones, theOcarina of Time and knowledge of the "Song of Time."[23]
Ganondorf managed to bypass all this by manipulating Link into doing the work for him. After seizing the Triforce and corrupting the Sacred Realm, he caused that corruption to seep into the temples of the Sages, which became infested with all kinds of monsters,[24] so that the Sages-to-be would not be able to fulfill their duty and aidLink.[25] Led by Rauru's andSheik's instructions, Link managed to cleanse the temples and help each Sage to gain their power. Upon Rauru's advice, he then returned to the Temple of Time, where he found Sheik waiting. His mysterious ally revealed himself to be none other than Princess Zelda, keeper of the Triforce of Wisdom and the seventh Sage, leader of them all. The reunion was cut short when Ganondorf came and abducted Zelda, leaving Link with one more reason to take him on.
The Sages helped Link first by creating a bridge for Link to use to get to the entrance ofGanon's Castle. Rauru used the moment to inform Link of the barriers Ganondorf had put up to protect himself against the Sages.[26] Link destroyed them, clearing the path to Ganondorf. When Link defeated him in the form of Ganon, the Sages joined their powers and sealed the King of Evil into the Sacred Realm.
The seven Sages include:
Rauru
Rauru is an ancientHylian and theSage of Light. Unlike the others, he is not a new Sage. Rather, he is one of the ancient Sages, and possibly the only remaining one. He seems to act as the leader in absence of the seventh Sage.
Rauru made his appearance after Link opened the Door of Time and drew the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time. Recognizing the destined hero, he took his chance and kept Link sealed within the safety of theTemple of Light for the seven years he needed to mature. Upon Link's awakening, he summarized the events that had taken place during his slumber and informed him of his role as the Hero of Time. Then he instructed him to find and help the other Sages so that they could assist him in taking on Ganondorf, handing Link theLight Medallion to start off his quest. After that, it wasn't until all Sages had been awakened that Rauru contacted Link again, telling him that the time of the final confrontation had come. He fulfilled his role as Sage during that final fight and was the only one of the group not to return to Hyrule once Ganon had been defeated, presumably opting to stay in the Sacred Realm.
The owlKaepora Gaebora, who kept track of Link since the start of his quest, is a form taken by Rauru.[9]
Saria
Saria is aKokiri and theSage of Forest. She is the second of the Sages who lend their power to the Hero of Time.
Deciding that something had to be done about the evil emanating from the Forest Temple that brought danger toKokiri Village, she left to give it her best. When Link arrived in theForest Temple some time later, he defeated the monsters infesting it and thereby awakened Saria as Sage. She and Link had a conversation thereafter on their childhood friendship, after which Saria bestowed her powers on Link in the form of theForest Medallion. When the time to face Ganondorf came, she fulfilled her role as Sage and could later be seen traveling to Death Mountain with the other Sages.
Darunia
Darunia is aGoron and theSage of Fire. He is the third of the Sages who lend their power to the Hero of Time.
In the future years, Ganondorf wanted to make an example out of the Goron race by feeding them all to a dragon. Darunia was one of the few to escape this fate, but as leader felt the obligation to go free his people who were locked up in theFire Temple. There, he met his Sworn Brother Link again after seven years, though he knew this wasn't the time for reunion. As such, he gave Link instructions to free the Gorons, while he would take on the dragon. Link followed into the dragon's lair later and killed the beast, thereby awakening Darunia as Sage. The two had a talk about their old brotherhood, followed by Darunia giving him theFire Medallion. During the final stages of the Hero of Time's quest, he fulfilled his role as Sage and could later be seen traveling to Death Mountain with the other Sages.
Ruto
Ruto is aZora and theSage of Water. She is the fourth of the Sages who lend their power to the Hero of Time.
Like many races, the Zoras didn't want Ganondorf as their king, and as revenge they and their domain were locked away under ice. After being freed from the Red Ice by Sheik, Ruto obeyed her obligations as princess and went to theWater Temple to save her people. There she met her fiancé Link again after seven years, whom she requested to help her save Zora's Domain. Link lost track of her in the temple, but managed to find his own way to the monster that kept the curse intact and defeat it. Ruto awakened as a Sage because of that and told Link their childhood vows could not be kept now. Instead, she gave him theWater Medallion as symbol of her support and love. When Link went to defeat Ganondorf, she fulfilled her role as Sage and could later be seen traveling to Death Mountain with the other Sages.
Impa
Impa is aSheikah and theSage of Shadow. She is the fifth of the Sages who lend their power to the Hero of Time. It is hinted that she, like Zelda, was aware of her status as Sage before becoming one.
When theevil spirit she had locked away in the well of Kakariko Village years ago broke free, Impa immediately headed for theShadow Temple to seal it away again. When Link followed after her and defeated the spirit, she awoke as the Sage of Shadow. She told Link her point of view on the day she and Princess Zelda fled Hyrule Castle and ensured him he'd do fine as a hero. Then she gave him theShadow Medallion, staying quiet until Link took up arms against Ganondorf himself; then she fulfilled her role as Sage and could later be seen traveling to Death Mountain with the other Sages.
Nabooru
Nabooru is aGerudo and theSage of Spirit. She is the sixth of the Sages who lend their power to the Hero of Time.
Nabooru tried to infiltrate theSpirit Temple in the past years to thwart Ganondorf's plans, but got captured and brainwashed to be a servant of Ganondorf for seven years. Her mental imprisonment ended when Link defeated her Iron Knuckle form, but she was recaptured shortly thereafter. Link permanently freed her and awakened her as a Sage when he defeated Twinrova. For that, she gave him theSpirit Medallion, but not before she complimented him on the results of seven years aging. At the battle with Ganondorf, she fulfilled her role as Sage and could later be seen traveling to Death Mountain with the other Sages.
Zelda
Zelda is aHylian and the leader of the Sages. Her element, provided she has one, is unknown, though it is oftenassumed to be Time.
Zelda waited for Link at theTemple of Time to reveal herself as the seventh Sage, leader of them all, and speak with Link about the battle ahead. However, Ganondorf found her as well and abducted her to his tower. Link went after them and freed her, causing Ganondorf to change into Ganon. While Link took him on again, Zelda prepared for her role as Sage from the sideline and when Ganon fell, she united her powers with the other Sages to lock him away. After that, she and Link had a private conversation about all that had happened since they met, and Zelda revealed that she wished to use her powers as a Sage to return Link to the past, so time could flow as it should have done.[27] Goodbyes were made shortly thereafter.
The Wind Waker
The number of Sages is expanded inThe Wind Waker. Next to the seven Sages already known, another set's existence is established. These Sages are responsible for keeping theMaster Sword capable of defeating evil. It is not stated how big this "Master Sword"-group is, but just as with the seven Sages, the absence of only one is enough to break their power. Carrying on onOcarina of Time's revelations, the newly introduced Sages also have an element and such themed temple assigned, but they lack an identifying symbol. Instead, they have musical instruments and songs, which they use to pray to the gods. In the pre-flood days, their music was conducted by the head of theRoyal Family of Hyrule, who wielded theWind Waker.[28] The songs additionally can be used to awaken the next Sages.[29][30]
After Ganondorf reached the surface of the sea, he killed off the sagesFado andLaruto.[31][32][33] Upon his travel to their temples, Link met their still-lingering spirits, who were either unable or unwilling to move on until they were succeeded. They instructed Link to find the new Sages if he wanted to have the Master Sword's power restored and stand a chance against Ganondorf. Thus, the Hero of Winds traveled theGreat Sea to find them in the identities ofMakar andMedli. After awakening them, he helped them reach the sanctuary of their respective temples. There they performed the ceremony to restore power to the Master Sword, granting the former Sages peace at last.
The Master Sword fueled once more with the Sages' powers, Link went on and defeated Ganon. He andTetra were then brought to safety byDaphnes Nohansen Hyrule, and later picked up by Tetra's crew, who had also already picked up Makar and Medli.
The Wind Waker also references the six Sages fromOcarina of Time, displaying their likenesses in stained-glass windows in the submergedHyrule Castle basement where the Master Sword is kept.
Laruto
Laruto is aZora and the previousSage of Earth.
Prior to the Great Flood, Laruto had been awakened as Sage to pray for the Master Sword's power. Ages later, she was murdered by Ganondorf to remove the threat the Master Sword posed to him. As a ghost, Laruto remained in theEarth Temple until Link traveled toHeadstone Island to visit the Earth Temple. She told him about the events of her death, and that if Link hoped to defeat Ganondorf, he'd have to find the new Sage and play them theEarth God's Lyric. When Link played for Medli, she went into a trance in which Laruto appeared to the new Sage, motivating her to play as well. Not long thereafter, Medli and Link came to the Earth Temple to perform the ceremony to restore power to the Master Sword. Laruto made her final appearance then to perform with them, passing on finally.
Medli
Medli is aRito and Laruto's successor as theSage of Earth. She is the first Sage awoken to help restore power to the Master Sword.
Medli was practicing on herharp when she was visited by Link, who offered to conduct for her. She accepted and played theEarth God's Lyric. Upon hearing the melody, something in her mind stirred and she went into a trance. In her vision, she was visited by her predecessor Laruto, who motivated her to play her harp again. This caused Medli to realize her status as Sage and she requested Link to bring her to theEarth Temple immediately. Link sailed her to the temple and helped her get to its sanctuary. There, they performed the ceremony to restore power to the Master Sword, bringing Link another step closer to his goal. Medli remained in the temple until Tetra's crew picked her up once the battle was won.
Fado
Fado is aKokiri and the previousSage of Wind.
Prior to the Great Flood, Fado had been awakened as Sage to pray for the Master Sword's power. Ages later, he was murdered by Ganondorf to remove the threat the Master Sword posed to him. As a ghost, Fado remained in the Wind Temple until Link traveled toGale Isle to visit theWind Temple. He told him about the events of his death, and that if Link hoped to defeat Ganondorf, he'd have to find the new Sage and play them theWind God's Aria. When Link played for Makar, Fado's spirit appeared out of the new Sage and played in his stead. Not long thereafter, Makar and Link came to the Wind Temple to perform the ceremony to restore power to the Master Sword. Fado made his final appearance then to perform with them, passing on finally.
Makar
Makar is aKorok and Fado's successor as theSage of Wind. He is the second Sage awoken to help restore power to the Master Sword.
Makar was practicing on his "cello" when he was visited by Link, who offered to conduct for him. He accepted and was made to play theWind God's Aria. Upon hearing the melody, Makar enthusiastically began playing. While he did, Fado's spirit appeared out of him and replaced the Korok in his performance. When the song ended, Fado faded out for Makar to realize his status as Sage and request Link to bring him to theWind Temple immediately. Link sailed him to the temple and helped him get to its sanctuary. There, they performed the ceremony to restore power to the Master Sword, bringing Link another step closer to his goal. Makar remained in the temple until Tetra's crew picked him up once the battle was won.
Four Swords Adventures
InFour Swords Adventures, theShrine Maidens serve a function similar to that of the sages. They are responsible for keeping the powers dormant in theFour Sword Sanctuary under control. It is they who control the gate to its sacred grounds, preventing anyone from taking theFour Sword and from freeingVaati.[34] TheRoyal Jewels that belong in the Four Sword Sanctuary to openthe path to theRealm of the Heavens are left in the care of theKnights of Hyrule, only to be gathered and used through the Shrine Maidens' power if the path were to close.[35]
Four Swords Adventures does not incorporate the elemental system introduced byOcarina of Time, but features an identification system akin. Each of the Shrine Maidens has an associated color after which they are titled, alike to the colors that defined the elements that made for theOcarina of Time Sages' titles. The color rings are not the same though, as the White Maiden's white replaces the Sage of Spirit's orange. The colors of the Shrine Maidens rather match that of theLokomo fromSpirit Tracks who also turn into glowing orbs at the end of the game, like the Maidens do when freed from theircrystals. Moreso, while the Shrine Maidens all look after a part of Hyrule, not quite unlike theOcarina of Time Sages, the color-area associations differ greatly between the two "Sage" generations.
Kaepora Gaebora returns to guide Link through his quest. There is no mention made of him being the reincarnation of an ancient Sage this time, but he is both known and respected by the Shrine Maidens.[35]
Twilight Princess
InTwilight Princess, the Sages (excludingPrincess Zelda) appear as ethereal forms of old men. However, when one of the Sages turns his head, it is clearly seen that they are wearing masks and that they do not have faces underneath.[36]
The Sages reside in theMirror Chamber in Arbiter's Grounds. Prior to the events ofTwilight Princess, Ganondorf was put to trial by the Sages in the Mirror Chamber.[37] However, despite having been struck by theSword of the Sages in an attempt to execute him, Ganondorf was able to break free of his Sage-given shackles using theTriforce of Power, killing the Sage of Water in the process.[38] The Sages then quickly proceeded to send Ganondorf to the Twilight Realm via the Mirror of Twilight, located at the rear of the chamber.
After Link andMidna find the incomplete Mirror of Twilight in the Mirror Chamber, the Sages make their appearance and explain thatZant has fragmented the mirror with the help of Ganondorf's "mighty magic," not having been able to completely shatter it due to him being the false king of the Twilight Realm.[39] The Sages then reveal the location of the three missing shards:Snowpeak,Sacred Grove, and theCity in the Sky.[40] Following the Sages' advice, Link and Midna find theMirror Shards and use them to complete the Mirror of Twilight once again, where the Sages reveal that Midna is the true Twilight Princess and ruler of the Twili race.[41]
Although the American version of the game states that the Sages were Zelda's tutors,[42] the Japanese version ofTwilight Princess says that Auru tutored her instead.[43]
Phantom Hourglass
InPhantom Hourglass, there is aGraveyard on theIsle of Ruins where nine sages were laid to rest. In order to traverse Brant's Tomb, Link would first need to find a way into the graveyard. The graveyard contains a set of directions on six of the sages' gravestones. The other three Sages' tombstones are unreadable. If these directions are not followed, Link will wander helplessly through Brant's Tomb, much like in theWind Fish's Egg or theLost Woods.
Spirit Tracks
Spirit Tracks features the Lokomo, a tribe of wise people that serve as the Seven Sages. The colors of the glowing orbs the Lokomo turn into at the end of the game match the colors of theShrine Maidens who can turn intoglowing orb fairies inFour Swords Adventures.
Skyward Sword
Although the Sages do not physically appear inSkyward Sword, the symbols associated with them are etched into the entrance dome of theSealed Temple. The Light, Forest, and Spirit symbols appear within the half of the dome atSkyloft, while the Fire, Shadow, and Water symbols can be found on the half built into theSealed Temple.
A Link Between Worlds
InA Link Between Worlds, the Seven Sages are said bySahasrahla to be the descendants of the Sages who had sealed Ganon in darkness long ago. One by one,Yuga captures them by turning them intopaintings. Once he has captured all seven, he uses their power to resurrect Ganon, after which each sage's painting is sent to a different dungeon throughoutLorule. When each sage is rescued, they appear before Link within theChamber of the Sages, and once he has rescued them all, they use their combined powers to grant him theTriforce of Courage, which is necessary to enterLorule Castle and confront Yuga for the final time.
Interestingly, this iteration of the sages has a total of seven excluding Princess Zelda, whereas in other games Zeldawas the seventh sage, with there being only six without her.
Osfala
Osfala is a headstrong young man and Sahasrahla's apprentice. He is the second descendant of the original Seven Sages who gets kidnapped by Yuga, and he is imprisoned in a chartreuse portrait frame.
When Link first encounters Osfala outside theEastern Palace's entrance, Osfala recognizes Link as the blacksmith's apprentice and asks him why he is at the palace.[44] The hero proceeds to inform Osfala about Yuga and the events that recently occurred within theSanctuary, warning him about the peril he's in.[45] However, Osfala doesn't believe he's in danger, stating that although Yuga is a cause of concern, his master shouldn't be worried about him because he's a descendant of the Seven Sages.
Gulley
Gulley is the son of theBlacksmith and theBlacksmith's Wife. He is one of the Seven Sages who gets kidnapped by Yuga, and he is imprisoned in a green portrait frame.
Prior to events ofA Link Between Worlds, Gulley visits Link frequently to wake him up in the morning, because Link is often late for work at theBlacksmith's Forge.[46] He eventually disappears after Yuga attacks and turns him into a painting, unbeknownst to his parents. His mother tries to look for him in his absence.
Rosso
Rosso is a miner and one of the Seven Sages who gets kidnapped by Yuga, and he is imprisoned in a red portrait frame.
Rosso lives north ofKakariko Village at the base ofDeath Mountain, and ownsRosso's Ore Mine at the top of Death Mountain. He gives Link thePower Gloves after noticing that the hero cannot liftRocks. If Link picks up all of the rocks around Rosso's house, he will reward him withRupees.
Oren
Oren is the ruler of theZora population living in Hyrule. She is one of the Seven Sages who gets kidnapped by Yuga, and she is imprisoned in an orange portrait frame.
AsQueen of the Zoras, she resides inZora's Domain, where she is served by theZora Underlings. When Link first encounters Oren, she is stuck in an increasingly bloated state because theShady Guy stole herSmooth Gem. Once Link returns the Smooth Gem to her pool, she returns to normal and gives the hero theZora's Flippers as a sign of her gratitude, though she warns him that the Zoras living in the rivers and lakes are highly territorial.[47]
Impa
Impa is a Sheikah and is one of theSeven Sages who gets kidnapped by Yuga. She is imprisoned in a magenta portrait frame.
An aged Impa is once again Princess Zelda's nursemaid and is well known to be a descendant of the previous Seven Sages.[48] Impa goes missing some time after Link clears the Eastern Palace, having been kidnapped by Yuga and turned into a portrait. She was the last Sage to be captured by Yuga before Princess Zelda herself was taken.[49] Yuga eventually uses Impa and the rest of the Sages' power to release Ganon from his seal, in order to merge with the Demon King. Yuga then hides Impa's painting withinTurtle Rock, a magma-filled prison located in the middle ofLorule Lake.
Irene
Irene is the apprentice of theWitch who lives near Zora's Domain. She is one of the Seven Sages who gets kidnapped by Yuga, and she is imprisoned in a blue portrait frame.
Befriending Link early in his adventure, she offers to transport him to anyweather vane he has activated. She gives Link abell that he can ring at any time to call her. Irene offers her assistance after receiving an alarming fortune from theFortune Teller in which she is told to "take care of green" in order to avoid the worst outcome.
Irene is later attacked by Yuga and turned into a painting while at theWitch's House, sometime after Link has collected both thePendants of Power andWisdom. When Link visits the Witch's House, the Witch tells him how she was powerless to stop Yuga from taking Irene.[50]
Seres
Seres is a nun and is the daughter of thePriest of theSanctuary.[51] She is also one of the Seven Sages who gets kidnapped by Yuga, and she is imprisoned in a cyan portrait frame.
After greeting Link and learning he is looking for theCaptain, Seres enters the Sanctuary to call him, only for the doors to the Sanctuary to close suddenly and lock, preventing any from entering. After hearing Seres scream from inside and atDampé's urging, Link makes his way to the graveyard to use the secret passageway connecting it to the Sanctuary. Once inside, Link witnesses Seres' abduction and transformation of Seres into a painting, having already turned the Captain into a drawing on the wall. Though he complains that the Captain's portrait is unattractive, he praises Seres as "perfection".[52][53] Although Link attempts to stop Yuga, the sorcerer outsmarts the hero, turning temporarily into a drawing to cause Link to crash into the wall. With Link knocked out, Yuga swiftly kicks him aside and leaves with Seres despite her father's protests.
Breath of the Wild
While Sages are not mentioned inBreath of the Wild, the game contains characters who become Sages in its sequel,Tears of the Kingdom:
- Zelda, who uses her light powers to sealCalamity Ganon
- Tulin, the son ofTeba, aRito warrior who assistsLink
- Yunobo, aGoron who assists Link and the descendant ofDaruk, one of theChampions
- Prince Sidon, aZora who assists Link and the younger brother ofMipha, one of the Champions
- Riju, aGerudo who assists Link and the descendant ofUrbosa, one of the Champions
Tears of the Kingdom
InTears of the Kingdom, there are six sages, including Zelda,Mineru, and leaders from four regions of Hyrule. Each of the Sages receive aSecret Stone that enables them to channel their unique powers. The original sages assisted KingRauru in his fight againstGanondorf during theImprisoning War.[5][54][55] Most of the original sages are unnamed, but their descendants assist Link in eventually defeating Ganondorf for good.[56][57][58][59][60]
Zelda
Princess Zelda possesses power over light, from her ancestor King Rauru, and power over time, from her ancestor QueenSonia.[57] During theUpheaval, Zelda obtained a Secret Stone from Rauru's hand, which enabled her to become theSage of Time.
Zelda accidentally travels to the past and meets Sonia, the original Sage of Time, who teaches Zelda how to use her powers. With this power, Zelda is able to send things back in time, moving objects to locations they were previously, similar to theRecall ability that Link receives from Rauru's hand.
Eventually, Zelda consumes her Secret Storm and transforms into theLight Dragon so that she can restore theMaster Sword.
Mineru
Mineru is theSage of Spirit. Like her younger brother King Rauru, Mineru is a member of the Zonai race with access to a Secret Stone.
After a fatal injury during the Imprisoning War, Mineru hides her Secret Stone away in theSpirit Temple and transfers her spirit from her body into Zelda'sPurah Pad before her body can succumb to theGloom-Borne Illness. In the future, Link transfers her spirit into a new construct body.
As the Sage of Spirit, Mineru is able to control the giant construct Link built for her as a new body. This construct can attach different objects to its arms and back to augment its combat or movement abilities, and Link is able to ride on its back to traverse dangerous terrain or use it in battle.
Original Sages
The original group of sages consisted of Mineru as the Sage of Spirit, Zelda as the Sage of Time,Qia as the Sage of Water,Raphica as the Sage of Wind,Agraston as the Sage of Fire, andArdi as the Sage of Lightning. These sages wear masks resembling the fourDivine Beasts and fought alongside Rauru against Ganondorf once he awakened as the Demon King. After Rauru's sacrifice, Qia, Raphica, Agraston, and Ardi each vowed to have their descendant support Link in his campaign against Ganondorf, hiding away their Secret Stones in temples.
When Ganondorf returns, he creates monsters specifically to prevent the sages' descendants from awakening to their powers as sages, sending the four regions into chaos. The original sages speak to Link and their descendants from the afterlife to guide them to the temples and the monsters causing the havoc to occur. Once these monsters have been defeated, the sages appear to Link and their descendant, explaining to the descendant what occurred in the original battle against Ganondorf and what their destiny is as a sage in the present day.
Tulin
Tulin is a member of the Rito race and a descendant of the original Sage of Wind. Tulin becomes a Sage of Wind himself after he and Link find theWind Temple, defeatColgera, discover the Secret Stone, and speak with the original Sage of Wind.
As the Sage of Wind, Tulin is able to create gusts of wind by flapping his wings. Link can use these gusts to gain a speed boost or further horizontal movement in midair, or to push lightweight objects or activate fans. With the Secret Stone's augmentation, Tulin is able to create a spiritual representation of himself that he binds to Link, allowing Link to make use of his abilities while he remains in Rito Village. Tulin later rejoins Link in the final battle against Ganondorf.
Yunobo
Yunobo is a member of the Goron race and the descendant of the original Sage of Fire. Yunobo becomes a Sage of Fire himself after he and Link find theFire Temple, defeatMarbled Gohma, discover the Secret Stone, and speak with the original Sage of Fire.
As the Sage of Fire, Yunobo is able to grant himself an explosive power as he uses the typical Goron rolling ability. Link can guide Yunobo's charges as a combat tool or to break through rocks or cracked walls. With the Secret Stone's augmentation, Yunobo is able to create a spiritual representation of himself that he binds to Link, allowing Link to make use of his abilities while he remains in Goron City.

Sidon
King Sidon is a member of the Zora race and a descendant of the original Sage of Water. Sidon becomes a Sage of Water himself after he and Link find theWater Temple, defeatMucktorok, discover the Secret Stone, and speak with the original Sage of Water.
As the Sage of Water, Sidon can form water into shapes or damaging blasts. Link can use Sidon's abilities to create a protective shield around himself that he can then launch at enemies by swinging his weapon, with the shape of the blast changing depending on the weapon and type of attack used. With the Secret Stone's augmentation, Sidon is able to create a spiritual representation of himself that he binds to Link, allowing Link to make use of his abilities while he remains in Zora's Domain. Sidon later rejoins Link in the final battle against Ganondorf.
Riju
Chief Riju is a member of the Gerudo race and a descendant of the original Sage of Lightning. Riju becomes a Sage of Lightning herself after she and Link find theLightning Temple, defeatQueen Gibdo, discover the Secret Stone, and speak with the original Sage of Lightning.
As the Sage of Lightning, Riju is able to summon lightning, though she can only aim it with Link's support. When activated, she creates a field of lightning around herself that slowly expands the longer Link waits, extending her range, and will strike any spot within the field that Link hits with an arrow. With the Secret Stone's augmentation, Riju is able to create a spiritual representation of herself that she binds to Link, allowing Link to make use of her abilities while she remains in Gerudo Town. Riju later rejoins Link in the final battle against Ganondorf.

Trivia
- The Seven Sages were known as the Seven Wise Men in the English translation of the originalSuper Nintendo version ofA Link to the Past.[61] Their name was re-translated to "Seven Sages" inA Link to the Past & Four Swords.[62]
- Five of the Sages fromOcarina of Time share the same name as a town inThe Adventure of Link. These sages are Rauru, Saria, Ruto, Darunia and Nabooru.
- Removed text ofFour Swords Adventures seems to imply that it was originally going to feature Sages instead of Shrine Maidens.[63]
- InBreath of the Wild, each of theDivine Beasts are named after a Sage.Medoh is named after Medli fromThe Wind Waker,Ruta is named after Ruto fromOcarina of Time,Rudania is named after Darunia fromOcarina of Time andNaboris is named after Nabooru fromOcarina of Time.
- InBreath of the Wild, theLord of the Mountain, Satori, is said to be a reincarnation of a Sage.[64]
- It is possible that inBreath of the Wild, theSeven Heroines are related to the Sages orMaidens. Described as divine protectors of theGerudo people, the Heroines each represent a unique power—skill, spirit, endurance, knowledge, flight, motion and gentleness—which possibly are related to the elements of the Sages inOcarina of Time. This is alternatively suggested by the Heroine statues' associated orbs, whose colors (red, orange, yellow, grey, green, blue, purple) roughly correspond to the colors of the seven Maidens inFour Swords Adventures (blue, yellow, green, white, red, purple, andZelda herself).
- InTears of the Kingdom,Mineru is the only Sage who fightsGanondorf during both theImprisoning War and the final battle.

Link, thanks to you, I was able to escape the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! They say the Hylian people mastered mysterious powers, as did the seven sages. But the blood of the Hylia has grown thin over time. And we who carry the blood of the sages do not possess our ancestors' powers, either. But our power will increase if we mix the courage of the knights with the wisdom of the sages!
— Maiden (A Link to the Past) - ↑
A mysterious wizard known as Agahnim appeared as from nowhere... and with strange magic powers he eliminated the good king of Hyrule... He cast spells on the soldiers and kidnapped young maidens descended from the sages in order to break the seal...
— N/A (A Link to the Past) - ↑
Ganon captured us because he couldn't break the seal of the sages with his power alone. And then, using the wizard Agahnim as his pawn, he drew us to the Dark World. After cracking the seal with our powers, he sealed us inside of these crystals.
— Maiden (A Link to the Past) - ↑
Help me... Please help me... I am a prisoner in the castle dungeon. My name is Zelda... The wizard, Agahnim, has done something terrible to the other girls... Now only I remain... Agahnim has seized control of the castle and even now is trying to open the sages' seal. I am in the dungeon of the castle. Please help me...
— Princess Zelda (A Link to the Past) - ↑
I am Sahasrahla, the village elder and a descendant of the seven sages.
— Sahasrahla (A Link to the Past) - ↑
Link! Help! The soldiers are coming to the Sanctuary! AIEEEEEEE! ... ... ...
— Princess Zelda (A Link to the Past) - ↑
Link, it is I, Sahasrahla. I am communicating with you across the void through telepathy... The place where you now stand was the Golden Land, but evil power turned it into the Dark World. The wizard has broken the sages' seal and turned the gate to Hyrule Castle into a portal linking that world to this. In order to save this half of the world, the Light World, you must win back the Golden Power. You must also rescue the seven maidens who Agahnim sent to the Dark World. As descendants of the seven sages, they have power that will surely aid you.
— Sahasrahla (A Link to the Past) - ↑
When evil rules all, an awakening voice from the Sacred Realm will call those destined to be Sages, who dwell in the five temples. One in a deep forest... One on a high mountain... One under a vast lake... One within the house of the dead... One inside a goddess of the sand... Together with the Hero of Time, the awakened ones will bind the evil and return the light of peace to the world... This is the legend of the temples passed down by my people, the Sheikah.
— Sheik (Ocarina of Time) - ↑
The three goddesses hid the Triforce containing the power of the gods somewhere in Hyrule. The power to grant the wish of the one who holds the Triforce in his hands. If someone with a righteous heart makes a wish, it will lead Hyrule to a golden age of prosperity.... If someone with an evil mind has his wish granted, the world will be consumed by evil...That is what has been told.... So, the ancient Sages built the Temple of Time to protect the Triforce from evil ones.
— Rauru (Ocarina of Time) - ↑
I am Rauru, one of the ancient Sages... Ages ago, we ancient Sages built the Temple of Time to protect the entrance to the Sacred Realm... This is the Chamber of Sages, inside the Temple of Light... The Temple of Light, situated in the very center of the Sacred Realm, is the last stronghold against Ganondorf's evil forces. The Master Sword--the evil-destroying sword that you pulled out of the Pedestal of Time--was the final key to the Sacred Realm.
— Rauru (Ocarina of Time) - ↑
But, remember... Though you opened the Door of Time in the name of peace... Ganondorf, the Gerudo King of Thieves, used it to enter this forbidden Sacred Realm! He obtained the Triforce from the Temple of Light, and with its power, he became the King of Evil... His evil power radiated from the temples of Hyrule, and in seven short years, it transformed Hyrule into a world of monsters. My power now has only little influence, even in this Sacred Realm... Namely, this Chamber of Sages. But there is still hope... The power of the Sages remains. When the power of all the Sages is awakened... The Sages' Seals will contain all the evil power in the void of the Realm... I, Rauru, am one of the Sages... And... Your power to fight together with the Sages makes you the Hero of Time! The Hero of Time, chosen by the Master Sword! Keep my spirit with you... And, find the power of the other Sages and add their might to your own!
— Rauru (Ocarina of Time) - ↑
One Sage is waiting for the time of awakening in the Forest Temple. The Sage is a girl I am sure you know...Because of the evil power in the temple, she cannot hear the awakening call from the Sacred Realm... Unfortunately, equipped as you currently are, you cannot even enter the temple... But, if you believe what I'm saying, you should head to Kakariko Village... Do you understand, Link?
— Sheik (Ocarina of Time) - ↑
Link...can you hear me? It's Rauru, the Sage. We six will gather our power to create a bridge to the castle where Ganondorf dwells... The castle's keep, which is known as Ganon's Tower, is protected by six evil barriers. Bring down the six barriers and save Princess Zelda!!
— Rauru (Ocarina of Time) - ↑
Link, give the Ocarina to me... As a Sage, I can return you to your original time with it.
— Princess Zelda (Ocarina of Time) - ↑
That Wind Waker you hold was used long ago to conduct us sages when we played our song to call upon the gods. In those days, it was always the king who conducted for us... Please... Tell the king that I will still play...even in the next world!
— Fado (The Wind Waker) - ↑
You must find the one who carries on my bloodline... The one who holds this sacred instrument... Nothing can stop the flow of time or the passing of generations...but the fate carried within my bloodline endures the ravages of all the years. It survives. The song you just conducted is one which will open the eyes of the new sage and awaken within that sage the melody that will carry our prayers to the gods. The door that blocks your way will only open when the sage plays that song. May the winds of fortune blow with you.
— Laruto (The Wind Waker) - ↑
You wish to return the power to your blade, don't you? In that case, look for the one who has the same instrument that I hold, and teach him the song you just played. Once you do, I'm certain the holder of the instrument will feel the blood of the sages awaken within his veins.
— Fado (The Wind Waker) - ↑Hyrule Historia, Dark Horse Books, pg. 124
- ↑
I am Fado of the Kokiri tribe. I know I appear to you as a child, but the eyes can oft deceive. I am a most esteemed sage. I had been praying here so that the power to repel evil would continue to be contained within the blade of the Master Sword... But I was attacked by the evil Ganondorf... and this is what happened to me.
— Fado (The Wind Waker) - ↑
After his defeat at the hands of the Hero of Time, Ganondorf was sealed away...but not for all time. He was revived, and he returned to Hyrule in a red wrath. He attacked this temple and stole my soul, knowing that he had to remove the power contained in that enchanted blade. In order to return the power to repel evil to your sword, you must find another to take my stead in this temple and ask the gods for their assistance.
— Laruto (The Wind Waker) - ↑
These six maidens guard the portal to the Four Sword Sanctuary to keep it safe. I'm going now to make sure Vaati's seal remains strong. Now, the shrine maidens and I must open the portal to the Four Sword's resting place. Step back, Link...

You passed through the flames to rescue me! Such bravery. You're just like the Knights of Hyrule! You've heard of the Knights of Hyrule, of course! They're the pride of the kingdom! They would lay down their lives for honor! In Hyrule, four sacred jewels can open the path to the Realm of the Heavens. The safety of these jewels has for ages been entrusted to the Knights of Hyrule. And yet, in these dark times, the knights are nowhere to be seen... I cannot hide my fears. ... ... ... Pardon? Master Kaepora Gaebora, you say? Is that so... Well then, we must go to Hyrule Castle! We must liberate the castle!

In all of his fury and might, he was blind to any danger, and thus was he exposed, subdued, and brought to justice.

By some divine prank, he, too, had been blessed with the chosen power of the gods. His abiding hatred and lust for power turned to purest malice...

You seek it...but the Mirror of Twilight has been fragmented by mighty magic. That magic is a dark power that only he possesses... His name is... Ganondorf.
— Sage (Twilight Princess) - ↑
Only the true leader of the Twili can utterly destroy the Mirror of Twilight...so Zant could merely break it into pieces. Once broken by magic, the Mirror of Twilight became fragments, which even now lie hidden across the land of Hyrule. One is in the snowy mountain heights... One is in an ancient grove... And one is in the heavens...
