Sidon, also known as Prince Sidon, is a character in Breath of the Wild.

Overview

Sidon is the son of King Dorephan of the Zoras 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.

Inogo Bridge

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.[1][2][3][4]

Link first encounters Sidon at the Inogo Bridge, which crosses over the Zora River. Upon meeting him, Sidon introduces himself as a prince of the Zora's.[5][6] After finding out that he is specific to name, he applauds the fantastic name, but wonders whether he had heard of it before.[7] Sidon hopes that Link helps out Zora's Domain as it currently is in grave danger due to the perpetual rainfall that is caused by Divine Beast Vah Ruta.[8] Sidon mentions that because of the rain, Link cannot climb any of the nearby cliffs, so he'll have to take the main path. Unfortunately the enemies up ahead all use electricity, but that doesn't cause Sidon to lose any confidence in Link. Instead, he gives Link an Electro Elixir so that he can withstand some electricity attacks.[9][10][11][12] After speaking with Sidon at the Inogo Bridge, this will begin the Reach Zora's Domain quest.

Reach Zora's Domain

Main article: Reach Zora's Domain

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.[13] He appears again near the Bank of Wishes to offer encourage.[14] Later after Link is crossing the Oren Bridge, Sidon appears to mention that there are a lot of enemies up ahead.[15] He appears again when Link is at Luto's Crossing, but is interrupted as a Blue Moblin appears to attack Link.[16] Finally when Link crosses the Great Zora Bridge, Sidon welcomes Link to Zora's Domain and wants to introduce Link to the King.[17]

Zora's Domain

Sidon asks Link to help him attack the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, since he requires the help of a Hylian who can wield Shock Arrows, 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.

Divine Beast Vah 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.

Once Link returns, Sidon is incredibly indebted for the work he has done in saving the domain[18], and will be no matter how many times Link returns to speak with him.

Design

Initially, Sidon was designed to to have an all gray body. However, when arriving at Zora's Domain, the gray did not stand out well in the rainy Zora's Domain, so the developers changed his design to have more of a red appearance. The red also allowed him to more closely resemble his older sister, Mipha. His design is based on a hammerhead shark and he has a stronger physique than the other Zora.

  1. ... 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. Say, hey there! Young one! Up top! Above you! Pardon the entrance, but you're a Hylian, aren't you? I was hoping perhaps you'd have a moment to talk... - Sidon
  6. Aha! A Hylian! Yes, I knew it! Oh, pardon me... I am Sidon, the Zora prince! And what is your name? Go on, please tell me! - Sidon
  7. Link? Your name is Link?! What a fantastic name! Hmm, though I cannot shake the feeling that I have heard it somewhere before... Well, in any case, it is a strong name! To be honest, I've been watching you. I've seen the way you work. I can tell by how you carry yourself that you are no ordinary person. Link! You must be a strong warrior among the Hylians, correct?! - Sidon
  8. Aha! Just as I suspected! I am a Zora prince, after all. I have an eye for talent that is unparalleled! Yes! Exquisite! I have been searching for someone like you for a long while. A man like you, Link, who carries himself with power! Right now, Zora's Domain is in grave danger because of the massive rainfall coming from Divine Beast Vah Ruta! Please, promise you will help us! We need your strength, warrior! Won't you please come to Zora's Domain with me? - Sidon
  9. Wow! Really?! Thank you, Link! You are indeed the man I thought you were! Now Zora's Domain will be saved for certain! No time to waste! Hurry up and head over! - Sidon
  10. Because of the rain, the cliffs are too wet to climb. To reach the domain you will need to go straight along this path. As a Hylian, I know you are unable to swim up the river. As such, the path to the domain may be a bit treacherous. You likely have a tough fight in store - there are monsters up ahead that attack with electricity. - Sidon
  11. Don't give up! I believe in you! ... Oh! That's right! I have something that I would like to give to you! This is just a small trinket to show that I have faith in you. - Sidon
  12. It's a drink that will increase your resistance to electricity! I am not sure why, but its effects do not seem to work for Zora. Perhaps because it was made specifically for Hylians. It should work wonders for you, though! I shall go on ahead and make sure there is not anything strange going on where you are headed. I'm counting on you! - Sidon
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. "Oh, and have I mentioned how incredible you are? And how thankful I am? Because you are!" — Sidon, Breath of the Wild
