Of the four big objectives, the Zora Domain quest is probably the longest in Kingdom Tears. Getting to Zora’s house is easy enough, but there are several stages to that before you can even consider teaming up with an old friend.
We recommend tackling the Zora’s Domain quest as the third of four regional phenomena quests in Tears of the Kingdom. However, you can perform these tasks in any order. We took up this second, for example. We have reasons why we say do this third quest in our regional phenomenology guide.
A brief warning before we dive in here – if you’re doing this task first, be aware that there may be very light character spoilers below in some of our screenshots.
With that said, here’s your guide to getting to Zora’s domain, how to find Lake Toto, and where to find the king.
Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: How to access Zora’s Domain, how to complete Guides to Heaven
How to prepare for the Lanayru region
Zora’s domain is located at Lanair District, the eastern district of Hyrule, surrounded by water, waterfalls and mountains. It is a beautiful and peaceful paradise. Except that it was until it was covered in brown mud.
You will be given tools to aid in swimming during this mission. However, you should grab a lot of it Splash fruit On your way across Lanayru, save up Blue Quzhou Jelly You have. Why? The water helps remove sludge. This is vital to many subsequent mysteries during this quest. If you have any Hydrant Zone devicesThis is also excellent. And stamina-boosting food is never a bad idea.
How to get to Lanayru district
The Zora’s Domain is located in the easternmost part of Lookout Landing. will travel across Lanayru Wetlandsacross the Zodupon Heightsand past Mount Roto. Get yourself wetland stablesoutheast of your central city, for some directions.
You won’t pass directly by the Skyview Tower, but it might be worth getting a little out of your way and opening the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower, which is south of the stable. This will give you a good view of Zora’s range in the distance, and you can stop by Kakariko too if you want. You can also go from Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower and glide to the southeast from there – this way you can also approach Upland Zorana Skyview Tower.
How to search for Zora domain
This is very easy from the stable, follow the path east past the Lanayru Wetlands Well and the ruins of Goponga village well through the moors. Follow the bridges and you will be on the right track.
This mainly applies to the entire trip. Just keep heading east and follow the bridges. When sludge starts to set in, you know you’re on the right track. If it becomes annoying, you can sample any fruit you have scattered around.
You know you’re close to Zora’s Domain when the bridges transition from classic wood or stone to blue and white marble structures – albeit dirtier than usual. The Great Bridge of Zora is your gateway to the realm.
What do you do in Zora domain
This neat city has turned dirty and dangerous for these water loving people because of the sludge coming from the sky. Prince Sidon is also nowhere to be seen.
When you enter, head straight into the central square to discover a statue covered in terracotta. Talk to the green woman in front of the statue to hear that the statue needs to be cleaned, but they have run out of Spray Fruit. This gives you the main quest “The Statue Covered in Sludge”.
Good thing we brought some fruit to start – or whatever water element you choose. Press and hold “R,” then press up on the d-pad to bring up your materials. Scroll until you find some splash fruits (or blue Chuchu Jelly), let go of the up button, and aim. Litter it by the Let It or R, and keep doing this until all the sludge has been cleaned out.
The woman reveals herself to be Yona, Prince Sidon’s fiancée, and thanks you for cleaning the statue – which depicts Sidon’s heroics in Breath of the Wild. Yona tells you to meet her at the infirmary later – which you absolutely should – but she also tells you that Sidon is at Mepha’s court.
Going to the infirmary now will give you another new quest – Restore Zora Armor – which you can complete after you go to Mipha Court.
Mipha Court is directly to the east of Zora’s Domain, but it’s up a steep mountain. You can leave the domain via the eastern bridge and make your way up Mt. Ploymus to reach Sidon. Be sure to activate the Ihen-a Shrine here, too.
Where to find Lake Toto and Gyatu
Sidon will explain that he is the only one who can separate the sludge from the water, and that is why he is in the court of Meva. He tells you that Jiahto is investigating the floating sky islands that have appeared across Hyrule, particularly over Zora’s Domain and Lanayru, and is at Lake Toto.
Lake Toto is located just northwest of Maeva Court. If you unlock the Upland Zorana Skyview tower, the lake will appear brown, not blue. It is directly north of Zora’s Domain on the map. Once there, talk to Jiahu, the historian who is looking at a painting inside a cave. However, a significant part is missing, and you will be given the task The Broken Slate.
You don’t need to go far to fix the script. The head of the cave, and on the right side of the mouth of the cave is a huge piece of stone covered with mud. Throw the scattered fruit at it to clean up the sludge, then use the Ultrahand to pick it up, rotate it, and slide it into the hole on the wall. You will now be given a new quest – Clues to Heaven – along with the following puzzle, which you will need to solve:
“Stand on the ground of the sky, and look upon its land. Among the floating rocks that you see, a small drop is waiting for you. Through this drop, shoot an arrow with the sign of the king. Do this task, and you will reveal the most wondrous thing. Watch the resting place of the bridge Watery with your own eyes… what falsely connects the people of heaven.”
How to get Zora Armor
Return to Sidon in Maeva Square and talk to him about the riddle on the board. Saida will guess that his father, the King, has returned home, so you will need to head to Zora’s Domain.
Don’t do it yet, though. Before you leave, you need to get what Yuna asked for the Zora Armor old arowana. There’s a chance you’ve already caught one of these in the sky islands, but if not, you can get one right here in the clear waters of Mipha Court. check all purified water until you get one, then You can return to Zora’s domain.
Head to the infirmary, which is under the throne room upstairs, talk to Yuna to give her the fish and get the Zora Armor, which allows you to swim over the falls. Equip it now, as you will need to use this ability very soon.
Where to find King Dorfan
Since you are back in Zora’s domain, you need to find the king. Head to the throne room to find three children of Zora playing there, but when you approach them, they will shut up and tell you to leave. Walk around the side of the room and talk to Lido, who tells you that they are supposed to pretend to be the king and recreate recent events. This means that you need to snoop on them.
Walk toward the throne, climb up, and crouch until you get the “Listen” prompt. You’ll hear the kids talk about the “Authentic Sanctuary,” Place between Mt. Ploimos and Domain.
This is your earnest to head to the waters around Zora’s Domain and swim northeast toward Lake Mikau. There, use Zora Armor to swim up the waterfall. Then, on the second level, you’ll notice a waterfall markings behind it. Swim behind the waterfall and follow the path to the Pristine Sanctuary.
Walk to the back of the sanctuary and swim up the waterfall to find King Dorfan who looks rather ill. Talk to him about the riddle, and he will give it to you 5 king scale. This is the “King’s Sign” from the puzzle, and you’ll need it later.
Oh, we’re not quite done with Zora’s domain yet. We said this was longer, and the next step is to look up a clue to the sky, Zora Water Stations, and Springs Island before you even think about getting to the main course. However, if you want to do a diversion, you can get more hints, tips, and maps in our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom walkthrough.
