Lightscale Trident


 * Not to be confused with the Series:.

The is a recurring Series: in.

It is a variant of the Zora Spear used by the Zora Champion Princess Mipha before her death during the Great Calamity. Even though Mipha preferred to use her healing abilities, it's said that she was talented with this spear as well. King Dorephan had the story of the Lightscale Trident written on one of the Zora Stone Monuments. The spear was made as a gift for Mipha by Dento to celebrate her birth. Sergeant Seggin was the one who taught Mipha her skill with the trident.

When Mipha did not return after the Great Calamity, the people of BotW: mourned her. They tried to send the Lightscale Trident down BotW: in an attempt to put her spirit to rest. However, the trident began to glow, and Mipha's voice was heard. She told the Zora that she was one with the Lightscale Trident, and they should forget their grief and focus on remembering her. As a result, the Zora celebrate the Champion Festival and honor the Lightscale Trident on the anniversary of the Great Calamity.

However, if BotW: speaks with Trello while "The Ceremonial Song" Shrine Quest is active, he will admit that the Champion's Festival uses a replica of the Lightscale Trident instead of the real one. This replica, the Ceremonial Trident, is nearly identical to the Lightscale Trident, but it isn't as strong nor is it as durable.

Link can obtain the Lightscale Trident after taming Divine Beast Vah Ruta and saving Zora's Domain from flooding. King Dorephan will gift the trident to him as a reward and symbol of their friendship. After the cutscene, Link can collect the Lightscale Trident from inside a chest in the throne room.

If the Lightscale Trident breaks, Dento will remake it with one Zora Spear, one Diamond, and five pieces of Flint without charge.

The Lightscale Trident is made of metal, and therefore can attract Lightning if it's equipped during storms. It will also sink if it's dropped in the water, but it can be picked up using the Magnesis Rune on the Sheikah Slate. Finally, it won't burn if it's exposed to a Fire or a Scorching Climate.

The Lightscale Trident makes an appearance in Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, where Mipha is the sole user of this weapon. She is often in fighting stance against foes in cutscenes where she protects Sidon from a Lynel, also in a stand against the Yiga Clan at a small town, preparing to attack the monsters on her way to Hyrule Castle and against Waterblight Ganon before and after Sidon arrives to prevent her death from happening.
