Sidon

Prince Sidon is a major character in.

Biography
The ever charming and always encouraging Sidon is the prince of the Zora, the son of King Dorephan and the brother of Mipha. He first encounters Link at Inogo Bridge while on his way to Zora's Domain. Prince Sidon requests Link come to his home in hopes of helping quell the rains caused by the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, which were threatening to burst the dams surrounding Zora's Domain. Should these break, their homes would wash away and flood the lands below.

When Link approaches the throne room, he is encountered by Muzu, an elderly Zora who remembers him from 100 years ago. Muzu insists that it is because of Link that Lady Mipha had died, stolen from her kingdom who loved her dearly all because of Link. Prince Sidon then defends Link as the only one who can help his sisters spirit and save their home. When King Dorephan presents Link with the Zora Armor, Muzu berates the King for gifting Link the Armor. He claims that crafting Zora Armor is an act that a Zora Princess would only do for her future husband and he finds Link is unworthy of Mipha's love and hard work. He then proceeds to head to Mipha's statue in the town square to reminisce. When Link puts the Armor on and approaches Muzu, Sidon comments on how the armor fits Link perfectly. The Zora Prince then states that even though he was too young to understand it at the time, Mipha had feelings for Link. Sidon's words resonate within Muzu, who agrees to help them take down the Divine Beast.

After Link gathers the Shock Arrows needed to take down Ruta, he meets up with Prince Sidon at the East Reservoir Lake, where the Divine Beast is stationed. Prince Sidon and Link battle the mechanical beast together, with Sidon swimming around the lake and Link firing Arrows while riding his back. After destroying the sources of water on Ruta's back, Sidon escorts Link to the boarding platform before it rises too high for Link to get on board.

After Link frees Mipha's spirit and takes control of Ruta from Calamity Ganon, Prince Sidon is there to greet Link and congratulate him on his victory when Link returns to Zora's Domain. Sidon thanks him for his hard work before being praised by his father for his assistance in Ruta's recovery. Sidon becomes a tad emotional, having a moment of silence following his father claiming that Mipha would be proud of his actions and that he will one day make a great king. If Link should speak to Prince Sidon after this, the Zora will proclaim that he is both thankful and proud of Link for his assistance and that he is lucky to have met the Hylian. Sidon can usually be found outside of his father's throne room, but he will go gaze at Mipha's statue on occasion. If Link approaches him from behind, he can hear Sidon commenting on her status as a lingering spirit within Ruta. Sidon expresses that he misses Mipha and wishes she was still around to give him words of wisdom as she did when they were young. When he catches Link listening, Sidon apologizes to Link for "catching him in a moment of weakness."
