Lost Like a Korok Seed? How to NOT Get Eaten on Your Way to Zora's Domain in TotK
Let's face it, Hyrule is a big place, especially after Calamity Ganon decided to play real estate mogul and rearrange the landscape. You're probably itching to find the Zora again – who can resist Prince Sidon's dazzling smile, after all? But fear not, intrepid adventurer! This guide will transform you from a landlocked Link to a Zora swimming pro in no time (or at least get you there without becoming Bokoblin lunch).

| How To Get To Zora's Domain Totk |
Getting There is Half the Fun (Unless It Involves Moblins)
First things first, Zora's Domain is way out east. Like, really east. Past that giant, suspicious-looking mountain range east. Think sunrise over Death Mountain east. You won't miss it, because it's a giant, sparkling blue oasis in the middle of nowhere.
Tip: Share this article if you find it helpful.
There are two main ways to get there:
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
-
The Scenic Route (for the Faint of Heart): This involves following the main roads, which is safe but can be a snoozefest. Just be prepared to dodge the occasional Moblin roadblock (they seem to have a real thing for toll booths lately). Pro tip: Bring rupees (or distract them with a strategically placed Korok seed).
-
The Adventurer's Path (for the Thrill-Seekers): Ditch the roads and embrace your inner Zora! Glide from mountain peak to mountain peak, using updrafts and your trusty paraglider. This route is stunning, but watch out for the occasional rogue Bokoblin archer with a vendetta against paragliders.
Whichever route you choose, pack some warm clothes! It gets surprisingly chilly near Zora's Domain, and nobody wants to be a shivering mess when you meet the prince.
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.

Oh No, My Path is Blocked by... Sludge?
Uh oh, looks like you've stumbled upon a sludge-covered path. Don't worry, this isn't Ganon's latest interior decorating scheme. The Zora apparently have some plumbing problems. The good news is you can be a hero (and clear a path) by throwing Splash Fruits at the sludge. They grow all over the place, so stock up before you go!
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Alternative solution (not recommended, but hey, it's your funeral): You could try lighting the sludge on fire with your fire arrows. Just remember, water puts out fire, and angry Zora who lose their homes tend to be slightly less charming than Prince Sidon.
Congratulations, You've Reached Zora's Domain! Now Don't Get Swept Away
Zora's Domain is a beautiful place, full of waterfalls, friendly Zora, and probably the best Zora armor you've ever seen (seriously, where do they get those ab-enhancing scales?). Just remember, water is their element, not yours. Unless you've got some fancy Zora equipment, stick to the shallows or prepared to be swept away like a Korok leaf in a hurricane.
Bonus Tip: Bring some fresh fish as a gift! The Zora appreciate the gesture, and who knows, it might just earn you some extra points with Prince Sidon.
With a little planning and this handy guide, you'll be swimming with the Zora in no time. Just remember, adventure is fun, but don't forget to pack some snacks! (Seriously, exploring Hyrule builds up an appetite).
