Lightscale Trident: Difference between revisions

The Lightscale Trident has a very fast use time, with a power of 22 and durability of 70. [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] obtains this weapon after saving [[Zora's Domain (Breath of the Wild)|Zora's Domain]] from the trouble caused by the [[Divine Beast]] [[Vah Ruta]]. It once belonged to the [[Mipha|Zora Champion Mipha]], but is gifted to Link by [[King Dorephan]] for his efforts. The Trident was first created by [[Dento]] as a present to the newborn Zora Princess.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''|The queen and I were blessed with a daughter as lovely as a jewel. We named our princess...Mipha. To celebrate her birth, the smithy Dento presented Mipha with a gift: a might spear called the Lightscale Trident.|As told by King Dorephan}}

If the Lightscale Trident breaks, it can be taken to Dento himself in Zora's Domain to have a replacement made in exchange for a [[Zora Spear]], a [[Diamond]], and five pieces of [[Flint]].{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''|Simply bring me a Zora Spear, one Diamond, and five pieces of Flint. Do that and I will make you a new Lightscale Trident whenever you have need.|Dento}}

According to [[Zora Stone Monuments#History of the Zora, Part Four|Part Four of the History of the Zora]], channeling her voice through the Lightscale Trident, Mipha purportedly gave post-mortem instructions to the Zora to cease their grief for her loss, a miracle that led them to venerate the Trident as sacred.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''|As a way of offering her soul repose, they tried to send the Lightscale Trident drifting down the Zora River. But when they did, the trident began to glow, and Mipha's voice rang loud and clear for all Zora to hear: "The Lightscale Trident and I are one... Abandon your grief and know joy once again. Do not cry...just remember."|As told by King Dorephan}} The Zora henceforth celebrate the Champions Festival in honor of Mipha. The hallowed nature of the Trident hints at why there's copies of it in the form of the [[Ceremonial Trident]].

The Lightscale Trident becomes obtainable once Link has finished the [[Sidon of the Zora]] portion of the Main Quest, ending with the defeat of [[Mucktorok]]. Link can then go to [[Dento]]'s shop behind the general store in [[Zora's Domain]] and talk to him to initiate the [[Glory of the Zora]] side quest, where he will need to bring [[Dento]] a [[Zora Spear]], three [[Diamond]]s, and five pieces of [[Flint]] to build the Lightscale Trident. These will be the required materials every time Link returns to Dento for further Lightscale Tridents, which he can only re-obtain after the previous Lightscale Trident has been broken or lost. Sidon also fights with it whenever his avatar is summoned and when alongside Link.

The Lightscale Trident retains its base power of 22 and like the other Zora weapons, the trident and its [[fuse]]d material have their power doubled when Link is wet. When fused, the weapon has 95 durability, which becomes the most durable weapon of the game, and with many opportunities to get wet, the spear becomes a very powerful weapon.
