How to Complete the Secret Treasure Under the Great Fish Side Quest

Completing the side quest 'Secret Treasure Under the Great Fish' in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom not only rewards Link with new armor but also enhances Sidon's Sage Ability. This enhancement could potentially be crucial for gameplay. Find out how to successfully complete this quest and receive the Vah Ruta Divine Helm as a reward.

How to Trigger the Secret Treasure Under the Great Fish Side Quest

After completing the Zora section of the main quest 'Regional Phenomenon' - 'Sidon of the Zora' and restoring peace to Zora's Domain, players can trigger the 'Secret Treasure Under the Great Fish' Side Quest. They will find Sidon waiting for them at the topmost platform of Zora's Domain, next to King Dorephan. The red exclamation mark next to Sidon's thought bubble indicates that the side quest can be initiated. Upon talking to him, Sidon will reveal a riddle that hints at the location of a secret treasure - "To find your prize, leave your fears behind and venture below the long bridge that leads to the statue. Pass beneath two waterfalls."

With Sidon's cryptic riddle in mind, head down the long bridge that leads out of Zora's Domain.

How to Find the Two Waterfalls

On the lengthy bridge, take a plunge into the water at the spot where the map indicates the presence of a magnificent waterfall. Utilizing the Zora Armor will enhance Link's swimming speed in this area, however, his objective is not to swim up the waterfall but rather to navigate through it. By dashing close to the waterfall and pressing the 'A' button, Link will be able to reach 'The Cave Under Zora's Domain'.

Directly ahead at this point is another waterfall. This is the second waterfall spoken of in the riddle.

The Treasure in the Cave

Beyond the second waterfall lies a hidden Treasure Chest. Inside this chest, you will discover the coveted Vah Ruta Divine Helm, the secret treasure of this quest. Your mission will be considered complete once you open this chest. However, if you choose to speak with Sidon afterwards, you will unlock some exclusive and intriguing dialogue.

What Does the Vah Ruta Divine Helm Do?

The Vah Ruta Divine Helm, inspired by the Divine Beast Vah Ruta from Breath of the Wild, offers more than just an increase in Swim Speed. By wearing this helm, not only does Link gain a higher Swim Speed level, but the Sidon Sage Spirit also dons the helm and enhances the water shield/weapon ability.
