To summon Tulin (or his avatar, at least), press + to open your inventory, then use L or R to get to the Key Items tab. The green circle is the Vow of Tulin, Sage of Wind. Select it and select Summon.

So long as you’re in a place where Tulin can be summoned (and that’s most places), he’ll appear directly in front of you when you close the inventory screen. It’s also basically the same process if you want to dismiss him.

How to use Tulin’s Gust ability in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

To use Vow of Tulin, approach Tulin and press A to say, “Let’s go!”. Point in the direction you want the Gust to blow and press A again. Now jump and glide into the Gust to get a strong forward boost. You can even do this while gliding, as Tulin will always glide closely alongside you.

You’ll first use Tulin’s Gust ability during the Tulin of Rito Village main quest, but the Vow of Tulin allows you to continue to use it anywhere on the map. It basically allows you to glide further with your paraglider by providing a strong horizontal column of wind, so it’s great for getting across wide gaps.

Where to find Tulin if he leaves in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

To find Tulin, all you have to do to is leave the settlement and walk a short distance away. Tulin’s avatar is available at almost any location in the game, but not in villages or other settlements. So, as soon as you get close to any settlement, he will automatically dismiss himself.

Walking out of a settlement will automatically summon Tulin back again. If he doesn’t, then go to your inventory and check that he doesn’t need to be summoned automatically.

If you’re still on the Tulin of Rito Village quest and Tulin is not at the Wind Temple, then he’s probably at one of the other waypoints on the quest. Try fast traveling back to each of them and seeing if he appears.
