Quest Overview
A Zora child near Zora's Domain was rescued by Link during the Sludge cleanup operation and wants to repay the favor. They ask Link to meet their family upriver and receive a personal tour of a hidden underwater grotto the Zora have kept secret for generations. The grotto contains luminous blue coral, rare fish, and a buried chest. Completing the tour earns Link a handcrafted Zora trinket and strengthens the diplomatic relationship between Link and the Zora people.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Receive the Invitation
A young Zora child named Tula runs up to Link near Zora's Domain and thanks him for helping clear the sludge. She says her parents want to show Link something special as repayment — a hidden grotto that only Zora children know about, kept secret from adults for generations. She asks Link to follow her upstream.
2
Follow Tula Upstream
Follow Tula along the eastern riverbank beyond the Domain's waterfall. She dives underwater — follow her swim path through a narrow underwater tunnel (hold breath by swimming straight through) that opens into a luminous underground grotto. The cavern is filled with glowing blue coral, silver fish, and ancient Zora symbols carved into the walls.
3
Explore the Grotto
Inside, find a buried chest containing a Zora Longsword with a special decorative pattern. Luminous Stones line the walls as natural decoration. Tula explains the Zora oral history of the grotto — it was used as a safe hiding place during the ancient wars and was never discovered by invaders. Speak with her to hear the full story and complete the quest.
