Breath of the Wild
The Queen of the Zora does not appear in Breath of the Wild, though she is mentioned in the History of the Zora, Part Four. She is the wife of King Dorephan and the mother of Mipha and Sidon.[6]
The History of the Zora, Part Three tells the story of a past Queen of the Zora. When a Lizalfos horde approached Zora's Domain from the Zodobon Highlands, the Queen feared for the safety of her husband, the King. To protect him, she wove one of her white scales into the armor she prepared for him. A ray of sunlight that reflected off the scale was able to blind the Lizalfos general, allowing the King to rally his forces and claim victory. This started the tradition of Zora princesses creating Zora Armor for their husbands-to-be.[7]
Tears of the Kingdom
At the end of the Main Quest "Sidon of the Zora", Yona becomes the Queen of the Zora after marrying Sidon, who has inherited the title of King from his father.[1][8] As the new leaders of the Zora, Yona and Sidon ask their people to assist Link as he continues the Search for Princess Zelda.[9]

Miracle of the White Scale
As told by King Dorephan
Our scholars say that in the distant past, Zora's Domain had a king with no special talent for the art of war.
What he lacked in skill with a blade, he made up for in love for his people, and especially love for his queen.
One day, news reached the king of a horde of monsters gathering in the Zodobon Highlands.
The king steeled himself for war to protect his people, but the queen knew how ill suited for the task he was.
Worried for his life, she wove one of her own scales into his armor, hoping that her love would protect him in battle.
It seemed for a time that the tide of battle favored the Zora and that all would make it safely home.
But the cunning Lizalfos general saw an opening and seized it, driving the king's forces into a corner.
Just when the general's sword was ready to crash down upon the king, a miracle took place.
An errant sunbeam reflected from the scale on his armor blinded the Lizalfos, stopping the deathblow from falling.
This was the chance the king needed to rally his forces and turn the tide, taking down the general and securing victory.
This came to be known as the Miracle of the White Scale, a scale that only female Zora possess.
It was this miracle that began the tradition of Zora princesses crafting armor for their future husbands. - ↑
I hereby inherit this crown from my father, The Exalted Dorephan. From this moment on, I shall be king of the Zora! At this same precious moment, I ask that you also open your hearts to your new queen, my beloved Yona!

The sludge threatens us no more. We are once again free to swim through crystal waters beneath azure skies without fear. We could not have achieved this without our dear King Sidon, our heroic Sir Link, and all of us who call the domain home. I am so proud and so very grateful to count myself among the Zora of the domain. However! That does not mean that all matters have been resolved.
— Yona (Tears of the Kingdom)Right you are, my love! So long as darkness lurks in the depths of Hyrule, this peace we have fought so hard for could vanish like a bubble on a needle. We shall not allow that! It is now time for the Zora to help Link prevail! Everyone, I ask that you lend him your strength! Doing just that shall be the first task that I and my partner in life and in leadership shall undertake as your king and queen.
