~y/n pov~

You were dragging link behind you, following Sidon. You looked at Link and laughed because he was fumbling and slipping on the wet ground. When you made it to the throne room, you stopped abruptly. Leaving link laughing almost falling. When he realized you stopped, he looked up and had the same expression on his face as you did. 'king Dorpheon was huge! Not in a bad way, but he was just huge!' you thought.

"Ah. You must be the Hylian that Sidon brought here, correct? You did well to come all the way here! I am King Dorephan, ruler of the Zora. Hm? That object upon your waist... is that not a Sheikah Slate?! HMMM?! Now that i have gotten a good look at you, it is all too clear who you are... You are the Hylian Champion, Link! Do not tell me you have forgotten me..." King Dorpheon bellowed.

"I cannot believe it. The Hylian Champion, Link, has appeared before us... We have met numerous times, I'll have you know. Ah... So many memories! My mind is overflowing with nostalgia, my friend. I'd heard a terrible rumor that you had fallen in combat, but it appears you managed to survive. Extraordinary! Who might this young lady be next to you?"

"This is 'y/n' and I've been sleeping, your majesty" link said as he bowed.

"Come again? Sleeping, you say... Hm. Is that you do not seem to remember me, and hello my dear 'y/n' very nice to meet you. But surely you must remember my precious daughter, Mipha, yes? You do, do you not?" King Dorpheon asked.

"Mipha who?" Link questioned.

You looked at king Dorpheon and then back at link, you then realized you were still holding hands with him, which made you a blushing mess.

" I cannot believe it... Have you truly forgotten my dear Mipha as well? You and Mipha were so close... Yet you do not remember her? Young hero... Please look upon the beauty of Zora's Domain. Do you see that statue? Does gazing upon Mipha's immortalized form still not jog your memory? Well, perhaps your memory will return in time. I dearly hope so." King Dorpheon said with a sad and semi surprised tone.

"Father... I do not believe discussing my sister is helping matters at the moment. Link and his friend seem confused." Sidon said, looking to his father.

"Yes my son, I understand. Link, I doubt not that you have endured a great many trials. Still, I must ask you to hear my plea. Now then. Hero... I must inform you that Zora's Domain is in danger of vanishing because of Divine Beast Vah Ruta. I shall do you the courtesy of speaking bluntly. We alone cannot stop this beast. Will you lend us your strength?" King Dorpheon asked, he had a pleading tone to his deep voice that made you want to help yourself.

"What?! King Dorephan! My liege! Please do not speak so! To ask these Hylians for help... Why the very thought of it curls my fins!" A rather old looking green stingray said as he walked over.

"Muzu, I expected more of you. How can you still protest?" King Dorpheon said, he sounded disappointed.

'Muzu must be his name' you thought, looking to him then back at the King.

"Muzu! It is rude to speak that way to your king and his guests. Link and 'y/n' are here because I invited them! With such unprecedented rainfall, we have no choice but to rely on the aid of a trustworthy Hylian. Have we not already discussed this and arrived at that very conclusion? They are the key to saving Zora's Domain. I have no doubt in my mind." Sidon said with an angry tone to his voice.

"Indeed! Link is a Champion, through and through. I do not know what 'y/n' is capable of but I am sure she can help as well. As things stand now, Zora's Domain... Nay! Perhaps all of Hyrule... is doomed to be swallowed by the sea. This is bigger than all of us, my friend. Zora and Hylians alike must put aside our differences and band together." King Dorpheon said, his deep voice echoed around you.

"Have you forgotten already, my king?! We cannot trust these lowly Hylians! A hundred years ago, they abused the power of an ancient civilization and turned Hyrule into what it is today! And that is not the least of it! It is their fault that Lady Mipha was lost to us..." Muzu said with a thought of remembrance.

"... Link and 'y/n'... Divine Beast Vah Ruta has great power. It is the unique ability to create an endless supply of water. Of late it has been mercilessly spouting water into the air. As a result, this area has been plagued by heavy rains. For us Zora, water and air are as one, so you would not think this would be quite so critical of a problem. Sadly, the rains have filled the eastern reservoir nearly to the point of flooding. If the reservoir bursts, as it soon will, I fear immense damage will befall not only Zora's Domain... but also the area downstream from us. There, Hylian lives are in very grave danger. Hmm... The Divine Beast is crying out once again..." King Dorpheon said as he looked towards the divine beast.

"The Divine Beast Vah Ruta... Your princess, Zelda, often studied the Divine Beasts. That is, in the time before the Great Calamity. According to her research, the orbs located on Ruta's shoulders... are mechanisms that can control the water it generates. However, they require electricity to work. These orbs are clearly out of control now because there is no electricity coursing through to stop them." King Dorpheon said, deep in thought.

"Seggin, who is quite shock resistant for a Zora, hit one with a shock arrow. Sure enough, it slowed the water a bit. Unfortunately, as an aquatic race, we Zora are terribly vulnerable to the power of electricity. Perhaps because we could not safely strike it with enough electricity at once,, the water soon returned to its full force. That is why I went in search of a Hylian who could help us! Link, I am certain you have already figured this one out, but... We need you to use shock arrows to get those orbs working properly again! I will aid you in any way I can, of course. Please, hero... I beg of you. Help me stop Ruta's rampage of destruction!" Sidon bellowed.

"I, um..." Link hesitated, looking around for a moment.

"Naturally, I shall help too! Once it has stopped rampaging, you can easily climb inside it. Come, Link! Let use appease Ruta together!" Sidon reassured, flashing his smile once again.

"I'm in. Let's do this!" Link said as he looked to you and smiled. "Together."

"Thank you, Link and my dear 'y/n'. Truly. We are in your debt. Our goal is the same. That means our meeting was nothing short of destiny. Now then, allow me to offer you this gift as a show of faith. So long as you wear this, you can ascend waterfalls just like a Zora. Please, take good care of it." He said as he handed you and link a set of zora amour each, yours was 'f/c' and his was blue.

"King Dorephan!! Surely you do not really intend to give this outsider the Zora Armor! Countless generations of Zora Princesses have gifted that armor to the one they have sworn to marry! Princess Mipha made that one there with her own hands! It is far too important to entrust to a shady Hylian! He may be a Champion, but Mipha had no such relationship with him. So why should HE receive such an honor? This is just too much, my liege! I do not understand it one bit!" Muzu said with frustration as he marched out of the room.

"Hmph. That Muzu is not easily swayed once his mind is set. You must understand... He was in charge of educating my dear daughter, Mipha. Naturally, she means a lot to him... just as she means the world to us. Ever since we lost her to the Calamity, he has grown to despise Hylians. I hope you can forgive his rudeness. Hmm, but what shall we do now? I tasked Muzu with finding the shock arrows we will need to appease Vah Ruta. But now he has rushed off in a huff..." King Dorpheon paused.

"Link and 'y/n'! Do not let his words concern you. I will work this out with Muzu. I shall return shortly!" Sidon said in a hurry rushing after muzu.

"Link and my dear 'y/n' you should go with him..." King Dorpheon suggested.

You and link both nodded and walked out of the room together, following behind Sidon.
