Lost Like a Bokoblin in the Fog? Your Guide to Zora's Domain (Without the Tears)
So you've crash-landed on Hyrule, befriended a sassy Sheikah ghost, and now you're itching to find the Zora. Well, hold your Zora armor (or lack thereof), because getting to Zora's Domain can be trickier than dodging a flurry rush from a Lynel. But fear not, weary traveler! This guide will have you swimming with the Zora in no time, unless you're allergic to rain, in which case, pack an umbrella (and maybe some Zesty Seafood Skewers, they're delicious).

| How To Get To Zora's Domain From Kakariko Village |
Step 1: Out of Kakariko and Into the Wet, Wet Wild
First things first, you gotta ditch Kakariko Village. Head west, past the curious stares of the Cucco-wielding ladies (don't ask), and get ready to embrace the lovely Hyrulean rain. It'll be a constant companion on your journey, so dust off your rain boots (or use Revali's Gale to avoid it entirely, if you're feeling fancy).
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
Pro Tip: Don't even think about climbing those rocks – the rain makes them slipperier than a Moblin covered in oil (and trust me, that's a sight you don't want to see). Sticking to the path is your best bet.
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
Step 2: Follow the Blue Beacons (Unless They Lead You Off a Cliff)
You'll see these handy dandy blue lights scattered around. They're basically Hyrule's version of fairy lights, except, you know, with less whimsy and more "follow this or get lost forever" vibes. Generally, they'll lead you in the right direction, but keep an eye out for any rogue Moblins who might have decided to redecorate with them.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
Important Note: Following a glowing blue light might seem sketchy, but hey, at least it's not a creepy skull kid leading you into the Lost Woods, right?
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.

Step 3: Brace Yourself for Inogo Bridge and a Very Enthusiastic Zora Prince
Eventually, you'll stumble upon Inogo Bridge. Prepare for a cutscene that involves a Zora prince with enough energy to rival a herd of Lynels hopped up on Red Chuchu Jellies. He might challenge you to a race, because apparently Zora like to settle things with a good old-fashioned aquatic sprint. Don't worry, even a soggy Bokoblin could win this one (though it wouldn't be pretty).
Fun Fact: The Zora prince, Sidon, is built like a brick Zora house. Just remember, admiring from afar is perfectly acceptable.
Step 4: Welcome to Zora's Domain (But Don't Expect a Red Carpet)
After all that, you've finally made it! Zora's Domain is a majestic waterfall city, full of blue-skinned Zora with questionable fashion sense (seriously, those tiny loincloths?). Now you can get on with helping them with their Divine Beast troubles, which will probably involve more rain, more Zora enthusiasm, and hopefully, some answers about why you're the hero chosen by destiny (though let's be honest, destiny has a terrible sense of humor).
Congratulations! You've braved the rain, dodged dubious advice from glowing lights, and met a Zora prince with more pep than a Korok seed. Now go forth, hero (or mildly soggy adventurer), and help the Zora! Just remember, there's always the option to teleport back to Kakariko Village if you decide city life under a waterfall isn't for you. After all, who doesn't love a good Cucco every now and then?
