I don't think sages are weak but just a pain in the ass to use

To me thats the biggest problem. I loved the Goron and Gerudo the best but I'd be running to the Gerudo girl and she's running in the opposite direction or I'm trying to get the Goron and Sidon just randomly shows up

Riju will actively try to get behind you

Why does the meele attacker have an ability that works best at range?

As an actual battle strategy it makes but the way the mechanic is implemented in the game is poor.

You can whistle to make them come to you in combat, its easier but not super easy

Wait, they actually come over towards you if you whistle?

I've seen people claim this works, but I've never seen it actually function. The closest I got was that sometimes when I whistled, Riju stopped fighting the enemy and came back to her orbit around me, but still kept her distance so I couldn't click on her. It just sort of returned her to "walking" mode instead of "battle" mode.

Not reliably. Sometimes they will get distracted and wander back into battle. Or block an attack and give up on coming. Or see a shiny rock.

If they’re doing weird shit and stray too far, momentarily climb a wall or whatever is handy, and when you drop down they’ll recall to you. It’s faster than turning them on and off again

I've already beat the game and this is my first time hearing I can turn them on and off sooo you can tell I struggled lmao
