← All areas in this guide

Link travels to Zora's Domain to resolve a regional crisis caused by toxic sludge pouring from the sky. Working with Prince Sidon, Link investigates ancient ruins, deciphers a riddle regarding a "land of the sky fish," and creates a pathway into the sky. The questline ultimately leads to the Water Temple to purge the source of the sludge and awaken Sidon as the Sage of Water.
