Breath Of The Wild Zora Divine Beast Guide

Diving Deep with Vah Ruta: A Zora Adventure!

Okay, adventurers! So, you've been tasked with calming the raging waters surrounding Zora's Domain, huh? Don't worry, even if you're more of a "fall off a cliff trying to paraglide" kind of hero than a seasoned warrior, Vah Ruta isn't as scary as she looks.

First things first: Prince Sidon. Oh, Sidon. This guy is basically the golden retriever of Zora's Domain. He's relentlessly positive, always there with a smile and a pep talk, and honestly, you'll find yourself wanting to be his best friend, even if he *does* keep calling you "Link, my friend!"

Taming the Elephant: The Approach

Getting to Vah Ruta is half the fun, because you get to ride on Sidon's back! Imagine the photo ops! He'll swim you around while you dodge ice blocks. Think of it as a very wet, very intense game of dodgeball.

Remember those shock arrows you gathered? Now's the time to put them to good use. Aim for the glowing pink spots on Vah Ruta's shoulders. It’s like giving her a really, REALLY unpleasant electrical massage, but hey, she’s trying to flood a kingdom!

Inside the Beast: Water Works

Once you're inside, things get a little… wetter. It's like a giant, mechanical water park designed by someone who had a *very* specific idea of "fun." Expect lots of climbing, swimming, and manipulating water.

The key to solving Vah Ruta’s puzzles is to think like a plumber – a very adventurous, puzzle-solving plumber with a magic tablet. You’ll be controlling her trunk to spray water, which sounds ridiculous but is incredibly satisfying. And don’t forget your trusty cryonis rune to create ice blocks where you need them!

The Terminal Tango

Those terminals you need to activate? Some are hidden in plain sight, some require a bit of clever water maneuvering, and others… well, let’s just say you might accidentally flood the entire interior once or twice. It happens to the best of us!

Pro-tip: Don't be afraid to experiment. If something looks like it might react to water, give it a shot! You never know what hidden passage or secret mechanism you might uncover.

Waterblight Ganon: The Squishy Showdown

Finally, it's time to face the big bad: Waterblight Ganon. This guy is… well, he's basically a soggy, angry octopus wielding a spear. He's not pretty, but he *is* beatable.

Use your newly acquired Zora Armor for extra swimming speed. And remember those arrows you used to get inside? They work wonders on Waterblight Ganon too!

The battle takes place in a flooded arena, so you'll be doing a lot of swimming and dodging. Waterblight Ganon likes to throw his spear, so be ready to sidestep and counter-attack.

Once you've defeated him, you'll receive Mipha's Grace, a pretty amazing ability that basically gives you a free revive when you're about to die. It's like having a little guardian angel who's really good at healing!

A Hero's Return

With Vah Ruta calmed and peace restored to Zora's Domain, you'll be hailed as a hero! And who knows, maybe Prince Sidon will even give you a hug (though, let's be honest, he'd probably hug a rock if it looked vaguely heroic).

So, go forth, brave adventurer! Dive into the adventure, embrace the absurdity, and remember: even if you feel like you're in over your head, you've got this!
