Secret Treasure Under the Great Fish side quest guide Tears of the Kingdom (TotK)

A blast from the past

Tears of the Kingdom contains a few references to Breath of the Wild. Players can collect the four Divine Beast helmets, and each one strengthens the power of a Sage. For players who will be using Sidon’s Sage a lot, it’s a good idea to pick up the Vah Ruta Divine Helm which also boosts Link’s swimming speed. This helmet is obtained as part of a side quest in the Zora region.

How to start the Secret Treasure Under the Great Fish side quest

To get this quest started, you’ll have to complete the Zora Domain Regional Phenomenon first. The temple for this regional phenomenon is a fun one, and worth completing first if you want to do things the unexpected way.

Once you’ve done the deed, return to the Zora Domain and travel to the top of the domain where the throne stands. The coordinates are: 3342, 0541, 0163. Speak to Sidon, and he’ll tell Link a riddle involving bridges, waterfalls, and treasure. If you want to claim the helmet, you need to solve the riddle.

After triggering the quest, head for the “long bridge that reaches for the statue”. This is a reference to the main bridge leading into the Zora Domain. Paraglide under it and soar into the waterfall located about halfway down the bridge. On the other side of the waterfall, you’ll find the entrance to the Cave Under Zora’s Domain. The coordinates are: 3241, 0380, 0077.

According to the riddle, you need to “pass beneath two waterfalls to reach your prize”. Link’s only passed one waterfall, so there’s one left, which you’ll spot at the other end of the Cave Under Zora’s Domain. Paraglide through it, and you’ll find a treasure chest holding the helmet you’re searching for at these coordinates: 3334, 0539, 0018.

When you put on the helmet, you’ll notice that Sidon’s Sage throws it on as well. This should serve as a good reminder that his power is boosted while the helmet is on. To upgrade the helmet’s defense, visit a Great Fairy and bring along the following resources along with a bunch of Rupees: Opal, Zoanite, Large Zoanite, and Dazzlefruit. You can also grab the helmets from the remaining three Divine Beasts by exploring Gerudo, Goron, and Rito.
