TotK The Moonlit Princess: Where to Photograph the Mipha Statue

Seggin, a veteran Zora retainer, is glad to see Sidon on the throne but misses Mipha. He still remembers one sight from long ago: Mipha holding her Lightscale Trident, smiling in the moonlight. The side quest The Moonlit Princess is about capturing that scene for him. Every side quest is on all side quests.

What does Seggin want to see?

After Sidon of the Zora, return to Zora’s Domain and talk to Seggin:

“The vision of Princess Mipha grasping her Lightscale Trident in the moonlight, a gentle smile upon her face. So lovely!”

Then: “Even just a realistic picture would suffice. Ah, to see that sight once more—Princess Mipha standing in the moonlight…”

Mipha herself is gone, but there is a statue of her east of the domain. A photo of the statue in the moonlight is exactly what he wants.

Where is the Mipha statue and when do you shoot it?

1. Go to Shatterback Point. The statue stands at Shatterback Point east of Zora’s Domain, close to Ihen-a Shrine at Mipha Court; walking from the shrine is fastest.
2. Wait for night. Daytime shots do not count; you need the moon in the sky. Make a campfire nearby and wait until night, or until around midnight.
3. Check the moon. Seggin says so himself: “It is a new moon tonight. That celestial orb will not be terribly visible.” There is no moon on a new-moon night, and clouds can hide it too; if you cannot see it, wait another night. A Blood Moon reportedly does not count either; let it pass first.
4. Take the photo. Aim the Camera at the statue and shoot when the viewfinder shows the Moonlit Mipha statue label with a red ”!”.
5. Show Seggin. Back in Zora’s Domain, talk to Seggin, choose “Take a look at this.” and pick the photo.

What is the reward?

Seggin is moved by the photo and gives you a Zora Sword: “It is something I once used myself. Though it is now decayed, it has life in it yet. Please put it to good use.” It is the decayed version, and its attack rises when it is wet; stats are on Zora Sword.
