King Dorephan: Difference between revisions

King Dorephan explains that Vah Ruta has a unique power of producing an endless supply of water. The result has caused an endless plague of heavy rain, as well as the [[East Reservoir Lake|Eastern Reservoir]] filling to capacity. The reservoir will not hold much longer and once it bursts, water will engulf all of Zora's Domain.{{Ref|''... Link... Divine Beast Vah Ruta has great power. It has 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 rain 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.'' - '''King Dorephan'''}} However, due to the research done by [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)|Princess Zelda]], King Dorephan knows that the orbs on Ruta's shoulders are mechanisms that can control the water that it generates. However, they need a shock of electricity in order to work and keep the water under control.{{Ref|''Hmm... Divine Beast Vah Ruta is crying out once again...'' - '''King Dorephan'''}}{{Ref|''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 Dorephan'''}} Siden mentions that one of their fellow Zora, [[Seggin]], had his it with a [[Shock Arrow]], and it temporarily slowed down the water production. However, as the Zora are water creatures, they are naturally vulnerable to electricity and were not able to hit the Divine Beast with enough juice.{{Ref|''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 out, but... We need you to use shock arrows to get those orbs workig 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]]'''}} After asking Link to help stop Ruta's destruction, Link explains that he was instructed by Princess Zelda to board the Divine Beast and appease it from within.{{Ref|''Whaaat?! Princess Zelda herself instructed you to board the Divine Beast and appease it from within? So then...Princess Zelda is still alive?'' - '''King Dorephan'''}}

After Link defeats [[Waterblight Ganon]], freeing Vah Ruta and [[Mipha]]'s spirit within, she wishes she could speak to her father one last time; and sends Link back to Zora's Domain to meet with him. Dorephan thanks him, noting that the threat to Zora's Domain is gone, and what he had done for them was more than they could have expected from him. He offers Link a treasure chest containing Mipha's trademark weapon, the [[Lightscale Trident]], as a token of their friendship. Depending on whether Link has already recovered the Master Sword from Korok Forest, he will either note its absence; or observe that, with it, perhaps he doesn't need the Lightscale Trident. He then thanks Link once more for his "heroic and selfless work!", then thanks his son for the part he played in getting Link to Vah Ruta, and says Sidon will be a worthy heir "when the time comes".
