Water Temple: Zora regional phenomenon
The Water Temple floats high above Lanayru and is smothered in a purple, toxic sludge that blocks its plumbing. You must explore its low-gravity sky islands alongside Prince Sidon to activate four water faucets and restore the temple's flow. Doing so clears the central arena to challenge the boss Mucktorok and complete the regional phenomenon.

Enemies
Wanders the temple platforms and will attack on sight
Harder-hitting variant guarding the water wheel mechanisms
Drops splash-inducing jelly useful for cleaning sludge
Shark-shaped mud creature that must be washed with water before its small real body can be hit
Tips
- Keep a stash of Splash Fruit, Chuchu Jelly, or a fused hydrant shield handy to clean sludge off platforms and switches without waiting for Sidon's cooldown.
- The low-gravity environment allows you to jump much higher, letting you easily enter bullet time with your bow from a standard jump.
- Hit the water wheels with Sidon's water wave attack to spin the mechanisms and trigger each of the four locks.
