The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is filled with engaging riddles and hidden treasures scattered across the vast world of Hyrule. One memorable side quest, unlocked after assisting Prince Sidon in Zora's Domain, tasks players with solving a cryptic riddle regarding a secret location. Understanding how to interpret the clues will lead you directly to a unique piece of headwear that honors Zora history.
Starting the Quest and Understanding the Riddle
To begin this quest, you must first complete the main story objectives in Zora's Domain involving Sidon. After completing the main quest line, speak with Prince Sidon in the throne room to receive the riddle regarding a hidden treasure. The clue mentions passing beneath two waterfalls located under the giant stony fish statue that stands over the domain.
Finding the Hidden Cave Location
Head to the Great Zora Bridge that connects the entrance of Zora's Domain to the surrounding region. From the bridge, look straight down toward the base of the giant fish structure where water cascades downward. Leap off the bridge and dive directly through the primary waterfall to discover a hidden cavern entrance tucked behind the falling water.
Navigating the Cavern to Claim the Treasure
Once inside the Cave Under Zora's Domain, move past the central chasm and head deeper into the underground chamber. Continue forward until you encounter a second internal waterfall blocking your path. Walk or glide through this second curtain of water to discover a hidden alcove containing a treasure chest.
Rewards and Benefits of the Vah Ruta Divine Helm
Opening the chest rewards you with the Vah Ruta Divine Helm, an iconic armor piece inspired by Divine Beast Ruta. When equipped, this helm increases Link's overall swimming speed and deepens your bond with Sidon during combat. It serves as a valuable asset for exploring aquatic regions and completing your collection of ancient relics.
