TotK Sidon: Locations, Water Temple and Treasure Quest
Find Sidon at Mipha Court in Tears of the Kingdom, follow his changing main-quest locations and return to Zora’s Domain for his hidden-treasure clue.
Who is Sidon, and where is the first meeting?
Sidon is the Zora prince investigating the sludge at Mipha Court, on top of Ploymus Mountain. In Tears of the Kingdom, start at Zora’s Domain, clean the central statue and speak to Yona before following the lead up the mountain. Sidon’s main quest leads to the Water Temple and his power as the Sage of Water.
Where is Sidon at each stage?
| Stage | Where to find him | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| First investigation | Mipha Court, at the top of Ploymus Mountain east of the domain | Speak to him about the sludge and follow the historian’s lead |
| After solving the sky clue | Return to Mipha Court | Fight the Sludge Like with him and finish the conversation |
| Opening the route upward | East Reservoir Lake, south of Ploymus Mountain | Follow his whirlpool into the Ancient Zora Waterworks |
| Sky ascent and dungeon | Wellspring Island, then the Water Temple | Continue together through the water puzzles |
| Regional story completed | Throne room in Zora’s Domain | Speak to the new king and ask about the hidden treasure |
The domain map link is a useful starting point. While the regional quest is active, use its current marker: Sidon does not remain at Mipha Court for the entire chapter.
Which quests and rewards are connected to Sidon?
| Quest | How to trigger or continue it | Reward or result |
|---|---|---|
| Sidon of the Zora | Clean the statue, speak to Yona, then meet Sidon at Mipha Court | Water Temple completion leads to a Heart Container and Vow of Sidon, Sage of Water |
| Restoring the Zora Armor | Speak to Yona during the regional investigation and bring an Ancient Arowana | Zora Armor for swimming up waterfalls; Yona is the quest giver |
| Treasure under the Great Fish | Speak to Sidon in the domain after completing his regional story | Vah Ruta Divine Helm from the hidden cave chest |
How do you use Sidon’s power after he goes home?
Open Key Items and summon his avatar through the vow. Approach the avatar and activate the water shield; a weapon swing releases a water attack. During the Water Temple story, the real Sidon accompanies you, so complete the current route together before expecting the permanent summon.
If your next step is a waterfall and Link cannot swim upward, check that the Zora Armor is equipped. If you want a new Lightscale Trident, speak to Dento at the domain’s workshop; that is a separate follow-up from Sidon’s treasure clue.
