Learnings of the Zora, Part Five
The Learnings of the Zora, Part Five,[1] entitled The Zora Armor She Left Behind,[1] are an Object in Tears of the Kingdom.
Location and Uses
The Learnings of the Zora, Part Five can be found on the eastern end of the Zodobon Highlands in the Lanayru Great Spring. When Dorephan's writings on the Stone Monuments faded away, he commanded Sidon to write his own thoughts on them.[2] As a result, it was etched over the History of the Zora, Part Five.
Sidon begins the Learnings of the Zora, Part Five by recalling the grief he felt after Mipha's passing, although he was eventually able to think about her without crying.[3] He also writes that she created the Zora Armor for Link with the intention of marrying him one day.[4] When Zora's Domain was threatened by the Rain of Divine Beast Vah Ruta, Sidon and Dorephan ended up asking Link for his help.[5] Dorephan ended up giving Link that Zora Armor that Mipha made, and upon seeing how well it fit him, Muzu was forced to put aside his hatred of Hylians and acknowledge Mipha's feelings for Link.[6] Sidon sees Link's use of the Zora Armor as a way Mipha was able to help save Zora's Domain after her death.[7]

Learnings of the Zora, Part Five
The Zora Armor She Left Behind
As told by Prince Sidon
For some time after I lost my beloved sister, even the light shining on the water seemed dark and dreary to my eyes.
But as they say, time heals all wounds, no matter how deep. I can now speak of her with a smile, as is only fitting.
I shall now tell the tale of the Zora armor that my sister crafted for her future husband, as per our ancient custom.
One dark day, the domain was in great peril, and I sought help from a traveling Hylian to save our home.
He was sparing with his words, yet I trusted him at once. As fate would have it, he was a childhood friend of Mipha's.
My father, King Dorephan, troubled by the domain's suffering, requested his help. The swordsman agreed without hesitation.
Father bequeathed my sister's Zora armor to this courageous soul, along with her hopes for the safety of the domain.
The armor fit Link perfectly—so perfectly that councilman Muzu, who then harbored a hatred of Hylians, could not object.
My sister had already left this world, and with her went the dearly held intentions she had instilled in that special armor.
Yet, with Link's help, she shined a light on the Zora in our hour of need, reaching between worlds with gentle fingertips.

The Great Task Entrusted to Me
As told by Prince Sidon
I, Sidon, was entrusted with the great task of renovating the Zora stone monuments that had fallen to ruin.
There are 11 stone monuments total found in and around Zora's Domain, including the one you are now reading.
The former text written by my father, King Dorephan, could not be salvaged, and so sadly it had to be replaced.
Despite my royal blood, whispers abound that it is improper for someone my age to write over the king's glorious words.
Ah, but do they not realize that it was King Dorephan himself who ordered me to undertake this restoration project?
Father says it is not set in stone that I shall be the one to inherit the throne, as it is not a matter of blood alone.
If we ask the eternal skies above whether I am fit to rule, they shall remain silent, and so we must look to our fellow Zora.
He urged me to use these monuments to share my learnings and speak to our people straight from my heart.
Father is older and wiser than I. His sage advice is a gift. As such, I have inscribed my thoughts upon these 11 stones.
I do not know how far-reaching my words shall be, but it is my hope that they will reach whoever needs to hear them most.
Until one of my descendants writes over my musings many years from now, I pray they resonate with whoever reads them. - ↑
