Sidon: Difference between revisions

Sidon is the son of [[King Dorephan]] of the [[Zora]]s and the younger brother to [[Mipha]], the Zora [[Champion]]. Even though Sidon is a member of royalty, he does not let that affect his personality. He had a very cheerful personality and always remains positive. He treats everybody with respect, even members of our races, which is why he is so adored by his fellow Zora.

When traveling through the [[Lanayru Wetlands]], Link will encounter numerous Zora, who implore him to visit Sidon over at the [[Inogo Bridge]]. [[Zora's Domain]] is in terrible trouble and Sidon is in need of a strong Hylian to help out.{{Ref|''... I can see it in your eyes. You're asking yourself, "Why me?" A reasonable question for a stranger accosted by a passing Zora in such a manner. But I must assure you, this venture will be very profitable for you as well! You see, Prince Sidon of the Zora is in desperate search of a strong Hylian. And as this is a royal request from the prince himself, it's safe to assume a generous reward is in the cards... That is why I am asking you to meet with Prince Sidon at Inogo Bridge, along the Zora River just upstream of here.'' - '''[[Ledo]]'''}}{{Ref|''I know it! I SO knew it! Well, what are you waiting for?! Go see Prince Sidon! He's waiting at Inogo Bridge, which is upstream of Zora River. Please listen to what dear Prince Sidon has to say!'' - '''[[Tona]]'''}}{{Ref|''Perfect! It must be my lucky day! Oh... *ahem* I apologize for calling out to you so suddenly. I am Torfeau of the Zora. I have been searching for a Hylian like you for a very long time! My home, Zora's Domain, is in terrible danger. That is why Prince Sidon sent me in search of a strong Hylian warrior.'' - '''[[Torfeau]]'''}}{{Ref|''Oh! Hey! This is the first time I've seen one! I'm Tottika of the Zora! Aren't you...a Hylian? You ARE, aren't you?! Yes, I can tell! You are most certainly a Hylian! As fate would have it, our Prince Sidon is looking for a Hylian like you. The prince is at Inogo Bridge right now. Will you consent to go and see him? I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to... Though...I'd kind of like you to go even if you don't want to... Hm, yes! It is decided! You will indeed go and see the prince, even if you don't really want to!'' - '''[[Tottika]]'''}}

Periodically as Link travels towards Zora's Domain, Sidon will appear from Zora's River to give him encouragement. He first appears right after the main path crosses over Zora's Domain twice, at which point he mentions that there are a lot of monsters and Link should proceed carefully.{{Ref|''Hey! Link!! Sorry for calling out to you from the river! Since I pressured you into coming, I was not sure you would really come through. I am pleased things are going well. Ever since this strange occurance, there have been a lot of monsters around here. Be careful as you proceed! And hurry! All of my fellow Zora are anxiously awaiting your arrival!'' - '''Sidon'''}} He appears again near the [[Bank of Wishes]] to offer encourage.{{Ref|''HEY! Over here! Sorry for calling from so far away! The domain is still a ways off, but you're making good progress! I shall be along soon myself. I won't be much longer! In the meantime, I'll be cheering you on from here in the river, so hang in there! You can do it! Stay strong!'' - '''Sidon'''}} Later after Link is crossing the [[Oren Bridge]], Sidon appears to mention that there are a lot of enemies up ahead.{{Ref|''Hey! Link!! You're almost halfway to Zora's Domain! Oh, by the way, there are a few spots up ahead with lots of enemies...but I'm sure you will be fine! I believe in you, Link!'' - '''Sidon'''}} He appears again when Link is at [[Luto's Crossing]], but is interrupted as a [[Blue Moblin]] appears to attack Link.{{Ref|''Hey! Link!! Look below! Down here! You are still pretty far off, my friend! But I was sure you'd be passing over this bridge, so I have been waiting for you. You will be in Zora's Domain before you know it! In fact, I'm going to head that way too! I shall meet you there! Whoa! Link!! Beware, warrior! A monster approaches from behind you!'' - '''Sidon'''}} Finally when Link crosses the [[Great Zora Bridge]], Sidon welcomes Link to Zora's Domain and wants to introduce Link to the King.{{Ref|''Whoa! I've been waiting for you, Link! Welcome! Behold the pride of my people, Zora's Domain! Now I shall introduce you to the king. Hurry, this way!'' - '''Sidon'''}}

Sidon asks Link to help him attack the [[Divine Beast]] [[Vah Ruta]], since he requires the help of a [[Hylian]] who can wield [[Shock Arrow]]s, as the Zora's cannot. During Link's trek to [[Zora's Domain]], Sidon will periodically speak to Link, giving him words of encouragement along the way. Upon arrival at the domain, Sidon will guide Link to meet [[King Dorephan]], who graciously accepts Link to help stop Ruta.  

Later, Sidon and [[Muzu]] speak with Link of potential ways of obtaining shock arrows. Muzu suggests that Link goes to [[Ploymus Mountain]], where a [[Lynel]] resides, which contain the arrows stuck in trees. Sidon is at first skeptical of this idea, as the Lynel poses a great threat to Link, and it could ruin the only chance to save Zora's Domain, but he admits that it would get the arrows necessary to stop Ruta.

Link later meets Sidon at the [[East Reservoir Lake]], where the two confront Ruta. Link rides atop Sidon, who will take Link one of the waterfalls falling from Ruta's body, where Link can swim up and attack the beast. Once Ruta has been neutralized, Sidon takes Link to the entrance, and then returns to the domain to wait for Link's return.
