With Zora’s Domain saved, Yona wants to thank Link. The researcher Jiahto has found an ancient text that mentions a pair of Zora greaves, but Yona searched the Ancient Zora Waterworks and came back empty-handed. That is the side quest A Token of Friendship in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Every side quest is on all side quests.

What does Yona tell you?

Talk to Yona and she explains what Jiahto found: “It is said that those who wear them are gifted the power to swim in the water as they please.” Long ago, the greaves “were offered up at the Ancient Zora Waterworks as a prayer for friendship between the Zora and Hylians.”

She looked for them there without success, and wonders: “I wonder if there are still places we have yet to access within the waterworks…”

Where are the Zora Greaves?

  1. Get into the Ancient Zora Waterworks. Yona tells you how: “You can freely go inside by jumping into the whirlpool in the reservoir lake.” The whirlpool is on East Reservoir Lake, east of Zora’s Domain.
  2. Notice the water is gone. The waterworks used to be full of water; now it has drained and the floor is exposed. A Zora named Gruve nearby is upset that there is nowhere left to dive.
  3. Find the hole. Look for a hole on the newly exposed floor that leads further down, and drop in.
  4. Cross the big cavern. Below is a larger cavern with a Stone Talus (Luminous) in it. You can go around it if you do not want to fight.
  5. Get behind the waterfall. At the far end of the cavern is a big waterfall. Go through it; at the top of the steps behind it is a stone chest with the Zora Greaves. Opening it completes the quest.

What happens after you get the greaves?

Wear the Zora Greaves when you go back to Yona and she recognizes them: “The Zora greaves are a symbol of the friendship between the Zora and Hylians… As such, it is a most-fitting gift for you, as you are truly an irreplaceable friend to all the Zora of the domain.”

She also tells you that she has asked her attendants Chroma and Khira to look into the Zora helm. Where to find the Zora Helm and Zora Armor, and what the full set does, is on Zora set.
