King Dorephan

King Dorephan is the huge ruler of the Zora who gives you the Zora Armor and the job of calming Divine Beast Vah Ruta. Meet him in Zora’s Domain after the long road from the south.

Who he is

Dorephan has ruled the Zora for a very long time. He is physically larger than other Zora and still grieves for his daughter Mipha, who died when Vah Ruta fell. His son Sidon is your guide through the Domain.

Where to find him

Zora’s Domain lies at the end of the road along the river, guarded by monsters that use electricity, so carry food or elixirs that protect against shock. Follow the path through the Domain and speak to the very large Zora you meet. The Ne’ez Yohma Shrine at the centre (map position x 3323, z -518, height 252, map square I-4) is a good fast travel point.

Quests and rewards

Meet the King

Speak to Dorephan. He explains the plight of the Zora and the tragedy of Mipha, which activates the main quest Divine Beast Vah Ruta.

Receive the Zora Armor

He gives you a piece of the Zora Armor, which Mipha made for Link. Wearing it makes you swim faster and lets you swim straight up waterfalls.

Start Vah Ruta

He sends you to work with Sidon to enter the Divine Beast. Shock Arrows are needed, so seek out Muzu to arrange them.
