The Legend of Zelda: Sages on a Monster – A Glitch or Just Sages Being Aloof?

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Sages on Battle Talus

A wowed player of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom recently stumbled upon a hilarious glitch that left them in awe. In this short but mind-boggling clip, we witness the sages, who are supposed to be aiding our hero, Link, in his battle against Ganondorf, standing atop a Battle Talus. Yes, you heard that right – four sages chilling on a monster’s back! Talk about unconventional allies!

The Tears of the Kingdom expansion has taken the foundation of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and elevated it to new heights. The addition of sages is not only crucial to the game’s lore but also adds exciting gameplay mechanics. As players progress through Tears of the Kingdom, they acquire different “vows” that grant them unique interactions with the avatar versions of the awakened sages. These mystical companions accompany Link throughout Hyrule, providing invaluable assistance, or in this case, unexpected acrobatics.

In a Reddit post by user Benkins1989, we catch a glimpse of this peculiar sage placement. As Link approaches a fearsome Battle Talus, he zooms in for a closer look, only to find all four sages standing nonchalantly on the monster’s back, seemingly unfazed by the impending danger. Talk about a bird’s-eye view! Spoiler alert: Watch out for the sage reveals!

The Battle Talus featured in Tears of the Kingdom is a brilliant expansion upon its predecessor, taking the regular Talus from Breath of the Wild and transforming it into a formidable foe. This upgraded version includes a platform where Bokoblins can attack from, as well as a treasure chest waiting to be plundered after the beast’s defeat. While it makes sense for Tulin, the sage with flying abilities, to be perched on the platform, the other three sages must have quite the climbing skills. But what’s the point of being up there if they’re not even going to contribute to the battle? Come on, sages, lend a hand!

Now, you might be wondering if this sage-climbing escapade is the result of a glitch or simply a testament to the sages’ lackluster AI. It’s hard to say for sure. One ingenious trick the player could have employed is their trusty whistle. By whistling near the sages, it’s possible to call them down from their lofty perches and engage them in the fight against the Talus. Just imagine the chaos that would ensue!

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an absolute treat for Nintendo Switch players, blending the beloved elements of Breath of the Wild with fresh and exhilarating gameplay features. So, grab your controller and embark on this grand adventure alongside Link and his amusingly elusive sage companions!
