Biography
Sidon
He was Mipha's little brother, and he looked up to her all those years ago, and was heartbroken when Mipha died. Eventually, he made friends with Yona, who would come to be his fiancée.
Sidon came to encounter Link at the Inogo Bridge whilst on his way to Zora's Domain. Sidon requests Link to come to his home in hopes of helping quell the rains caused by the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, which were threatening to burst the dams surrounding Zora's Domain. He gives Link an Electro Elixir to aid against the monsters who attack with Electricity ahead. As Link makes his way to Zora's Domain, Sidon encourages the hero from the river.
When Link approaches the throne room, he was encountered by Muzu, an elderly Zora who remembers him from 100 years ago. Muzu insists that it is because of Link that Mipha had died, stolen from her kingdom who loved her dearly. Sidon then defends Link as the only one who can save their home. When King Dorephan presents Link with the Zora Armor, Muzu berates the King for gifting Link the Armor. He claims that crafting a Zora Armor is an act that a Zora princess would only do for her future husband and finds Link unworthy of Mipha's love and hard work. He then proceeds to head to Mipha's statue in the town square to reminisce. Sidon then confronts Muzu, stating that even though he was too young to understand it at the time, Mipha had feelings for Link. When Link puts the Armor on and approaches Muzu, Sidon comments on how the armor fits Link perfectly. Sidon's words resonate within Muzu, who agrees to help them take down the Divine Beast. After Link gathers the Shock Arrows needed to take down Divine Beast Vah Ruta, he meets up with Sidon at the East Reservoir Lake, where the Divine Beast is stationed. Sidon and Link battle the mechanical beast together, with Sidon swimming around the lake and Link firing Arrows while riding his back. After destroying the sources of Water on the Divine Beast's back, Sidon escorts Link to the boarding platform before it rises too high for Link to get on board.
After Link freed Mipha's spirit and takes control of Divine Beast Vah Ruta from Calamity Ganon, King Dorephan greets Link and congratulates him on his victory when he returns to Zora's Domain, as well as commending Sidon for his assistance in Ruta's recovery. Sidon becomes a tad emotional, having a moment of silence following his father claiming that Mipha would be proud of his actions and that he will one day make a great king, before enthusiastically thanking Link for ending the crisis. If Link speaks to Sidon after this, the Zora will proclaim that he is both thankful and proud of Link for his assistance. Sidon can usually be found outside of his father's throne room, but he will go gaze at Mipha's statue at night. If Link approaches him from behind, he can hear Sidon commenting on her status as a lingering spirit within Ruta.[32] Sidon expresses that he misses Mipha and wishes she was still around to give him words of wisdom as she did when they were young. When he catches Link listening, Sidon apologizes to Link for catching him in a moment of weakness.
However Mipha's death during the Great Calamity left Sidon his father's sole remaining heir and next in line to be King Zora. However King Dorephan survived the Great Calamity and Age of Burning Fields, even defeating a Guardian that had wondered close to Zora's Domain. Prince Sidon emulated his father and sister's heroism becoming a capable warrior himself. Like his father and most Zora of his generation and his sister's generation, Sidon did not become prejudiced towards Hylians or hold Link responsible for Mipha's death. However like his father, Sidon believed the accepted mythical narrative of Link and Princess Zelda's deaths during the Great Calamity as Link was believed to have perished defending Fort Hateno while Princess Zelda was believed to have sacrificed her life to seal Calamity Ganon with only the Sheikah being aware of the truth of their survival, legends of which were dismissed as unsubstantiated rumors by most Hyruleans including the Zora despite them being well aware of Link's abilities through presumably they assumed Link and Zelda suffered the same fate as Mipha and the other Champions. Sidon even did his best to work with and aid the Hylians even coming to the aid of poor Hylian fishermen of Lurelin Village by slaying a mountainous Octorok in Hateno Bay that had been terrorizing the fishermen. When Vah Ruta appeared after a hundred years of dormancy and threatened to flood the East Reservoir Lake, obligated to defend the Reservoir to preserve the ancient Zora King's oath to defend the Reservoir to protect against flooding and his sister having been Vah Ruta's pilot, Prince Sidon and retired legendary Zora knight "Demon" Sergeant Seggin confronted the beast and tried to shut down its water pumps with Shock Arrows which only Seggin could wield due to his strong Shock Resistance uncommon among the Zora. However even his resistance had its limits and Seggin was also eldery preventing him from firing enough Shock Arrows forcing him and Sidon to retreat. Sidon decided to find members of other races who could wied Shock Arrows effectively. First he tried recruiting the Goron Reagah but later realized he'd be too heavy to carry. As a result, Sidon decided Hylian assistance would be best, though most of the Council of Elders including Seggin refused to even consider the idea due to their prejudiced view of Hylians. However the younger Zora and young Zora adults supported his plan as did King Dorephan.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Sidon was an aquatic huamnoid whose form was based on that of a Hammerhead Shark. His is crimson red in color. As a Royal Zora, he is much taller and stronger than the average Zora. He predominantly wears silver colored jewelry and adornments marking his status as a Royal Zora. The Zora emblem can be seen as part of his outfit on his rear fins which are the equivalent of dorsal fins
Sidon is extroverted, evidenced by his enthusiasm and optimistic view on life and he seems to see things on the positive side even during dark times and doesn't let his royal heritage affect him. Because of this, he is very popular with most of the younger Zora, and he exhibits kindness to everyone around him and it extends to non-Zora races.
While usually quite cheerful, Sidon can be serious, when necessary and he did not take kindly to any kind of prejudice against others as he often silences Muzu when he rudely tried to object to having Link help them out. He is also strict when it comes to unwanted visitors when his father is busy with other things and will escort them out, but he makes an exception for Link when he saw that he was a Hylian who would help appease Divine Beast Vah Ruta as the Zoras cannot use the Shock Arrows needed to disable it and Seggin, who was resistant for a Zora was aged and his resistance is limited to how much he could take.
Sidon can be seen staring at his sister's statue and silently mourns her as the loss of her had affected him deeply. But to honor his beloved sister’s memory he tried to remain as cheerful and positive as possible and is devoted to protecting his home, just as Mipha requested of him when he was a child.
Powers and abilities
As a Zora, Sidon was one of the aquatic folk that possessed fish and amphibian like traits, including fins, webbed feet and gills, which allowed him to swim and thrive underwater.
Sidon is capable of many great feats. It is said by him and others of his race that he is the best swimmer of all the Zora. This is demonstrated when he swims with Link atop his back in order to get him close to Vah Ruta. However he is only strong enough to carry a Hylian as he realizes a Goron like Reagah would be too heavy to carry while swimming as Gorons are known sink like stones and weigh tons due to their rock-based diet. He apparently lacks his sister's healing powers and it is unclear if he inherited his father's supernatural strength (as he may possess it though it might be too difficult or too dangerous to carry a Goron while swimming even with said strength or that said supernatural strength is stronger on land as King Dorephan's confrontation with the Guardian occurred on land). It is also said that he is a skilled archer, but cannot wield Shock Arrows since he is a Zora. Sidon's ability with a bow has not been seen.
