The Fifth Sage? More Like The Fifth Wheel: A Not-So-Serious Guide (According to Austin John Plays)
Hey there, adventurers! Feeling a little lost in Hyrule? Need a sage to, well, sage some advice? Then you've stumbled upon the perfect guide (except maybe for an actual sage, those are probably better). Today, we're tackling the curious case of the Fifth Sage in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (courtesy of the awesome Austin John Plays, of course).
Now, before you go all "oh no, another missing princess??" on me, let me assure you, Zelda's probably fine-ish (for now). This Sage situation is a whole different kettle of Moblins.

Who is This Fifth Sage, Anyway?
This here Sage goes by the name of Mineru, and let's just say she's hit a bit of a snag. Yes, you read that right. Mineru is a she, and currently a she… without a body! Talk about a fashion faux pas. Apparently, helping fight Ganon comes at a cost (who knew?).
So, How Do We Fix This Existential Crisis? (Spoiler Alert: It Involves More Than Duct Tape)
Here's where Austin John Plays comes in, our Zelda-whisperer extraordinaire. To reunite Mineru's mind with a bod, we're gonna need to embark on a wacky, side-quest filled adventure that would make even Link raise an eyebrow.
Step 1: Get Your Gear Together
Think you can just waltz in with your trusty wooden sword and call it a day? Think again! You'll need some serious firepower (and maybe a metaphorical metaphorical wrench) for this one. Here's a quick checklist:
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
- Nine Hearts (or more): Because apparently, emotional resilience is key when dealing with disembodied sages.
- Enough Food to Feed a Goron: Running around Hyrule is hungry work, especially when you're on a quest to, you know, rebuild someone.
- A Can-Do Attitude (and Maybe Some Duct Tape): Because things are about to get weird.
Step 2: Ascend Like a Boss (Because Apparently Sages Like a Good View)
Next up, we gotta reach some sky-high locations. Think paragliding, rocket-powered contraptions, and maybe even a strategically placed Korok leaf or two. Remember, the higher the Sage-parts, the closer to salvation (or at least a halfway decent body).
Step 3: The Body Shop of Hyrule (Because Rebuilding a Sage Isn't for the Faint of Heart)
Now comes the truly bizarre part. We need to collect Mineru's missing limbs, scattered across Hyrule like rupees after a Bokoblin raid. Think temples, puzzles, and maybe even a friendly Deku Tree or two willing to lend a hand (or rather, a leg… see what I did there?).
Step 4: The Grand Reassembly (Let's Hope We Don't Put the Arm on Backwards!)
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
Once you've collected all the missing pieces, it's time for the big reveal! We gotta put Mineru back together like some kind of Hyrulean IKEA furniture. Don't worry, it's not brain surgery (hopefully).
Step 5: Sage Time! (Cue the Epic Music)
 |
With a little elbow grease (and maybe a few Korok seeds for good luck), Mineru will be back in business, ready to dispense sage-ly advice and, hopefully, help us on our quest to defeat Ganon (again).
Bonus Tip: Don't forget to thank Austin John Plays for showing us the ropes (or should I say, the legs?).
