Reach Sidon on Wellspring Island in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a bit of a trek, and thanks to a few waterfalls and questionable gravity, you might end up going in a completely different direction.
While investigating regional phenomena affecting the Zora in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll eventually find yourself on a large island in the sky where gravity isn’t all it seems and finding the Prince of the Zora is similar to solve a giant puzzle.
Without further ado, we’ll show you how to reach Sidon on Wellspring Island in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

How to reach Sidon on Wellspring Island in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
To get to Wellspring Island, you must have started the Sidon of the Zora main story quest, then completed the Ancient Zora Waterworks puzzle and have a piece of Yona’s Zora armor.
Once you’ve completed all of these things, you can head to the large waterfall in the center of East Reservoir Lake, which is southeast of Mipha Court and southeast of Zora’s Estate. With a piece of Zora armor equipped, you can simply swim up this waterfall to get to Wellspring Island.
Once on the island, go to the quest marker to talk to Sidon who will then move to another point on Wellspring Island and that’s when reaching it starts to get tricky.
To the left of where you just talked to Sidon are bubbles being made by a Zonai Bubble Machine. Jump into the bubble and climb it to the next platform.
Once on the next platform, follow the path to the right and ride the bubbles that form here. You will need to use your paraglider to glide between them safely.
When you reach the next platform, there are a few constructions waiting for you. You can choose to fight them or you can outrun them like we did. Whichever way you choose to handle them, you need to climb the stairs in the back and head left until you reach the edge of the platform at (3630, 0640, 1261.)
Here you will see a waterfall in front of you. Run and jump into it (make sure you’re still wearing the Zora armor piece), then swim up to the waterfall until it launches you into the air.
Once in the air, head towards the waterfall on your right:
Then again the one on the left:
Then proceed to the duo of waterfalls in front of you and climb one of them to the next area.
When you land here, you should notice Igoshon Shrine is on your right. We recommend enabling it as a fast travel point, even if you don’t want to visit the shrine just yet.
On this platform, walk forward and up the stairs and you’ll see a few Zonai Wings dotted around. At the end of the platform, you should also see a launcher and a golden pillar to its left.
Grab one of the wings and place it on the ramp in front of the launcher, so that the “beak” of the wing faces the next set of platforms in front of you.
Then stand in the middle of the wing and shoot the golden pillar to your left with an arrow to turn it green (you can use a melee weapon and dash to the wing as well). Once it’s green, the launcher will push the wing and you can run it across to the next platform.
When you land in the next area, head up the stairs to face another construction. You can choose to fight against it or you can overtake it, it’s your choice. Whichever way you choose to deal with the construction, you need to get past them to the waterfall at the back of the area.
Climb this waterfall and get ready to slide down a few different ones to climb to the top.
After climbing the initial waterfall, swipe to your right:
Then head to the one on the right again:
Then finally head back to the trio of waterfalls on your right. You can choose whichever one you want, but we recommend the rightmost one as it is closest to the broken path.
Climb up one of the waterfalls then try to land on the right side of the platform where the broken path is (you can come back to this area later to fight the Constructs guarding the chest).
Once on the broken path/bridge, follow it up and you’ll come to an area where large Zonai bubbles are floating towards you.
Wait for a bubble to land on your platform, then quickly use Rewind and jump into it to bring it back to the other platform. Once on the other side, you can safely exit the bubble.
Once you’re on this next platform, head left to the point where the Zonai bubbles just stop.
Here you should notice that the Zonai bubbles get stuck and won’t go any further. You should also see a loose platform on the ground.
Use Ultrahand to pick up one of these loose platforms and balance it against the ledge here to create a ramp that faces the next platform area slightly above you.
Then stand at the top of the ramp and wait. When a Zonai bubble hits the ramp, it should bounce and go up into the sky. While he is doing this, jump into it and ride it as far as you can or until you think you have enough height to slide to the next area.
On this platform, you should see several different Zonai devices and a large, long ramp to your left. Your next task is to create something that can launch Link off the ramp and take him to the next platform on the other side.
We did this by taking a Zonai platform (the slabs with wheels) and attaching a wing to the top of it. Next, we attached a Zonai Fan to either side of the Wing’s rear fenders to propel it forward.
When you’re happy with your homemade link launcher, place it at the bottom of the ramp, then step onto it. When you’re ready, activate the device and take it up the ramp. If done right, the device should give Link enough height to slide to the final platform of this section.
When you land safely on the next platform after using your Link Launcher, simply follow the quest marker to Sidon!
You can now advance in your quest to save the Zora! If you need a break, check out our guides that show you how to get a Golden Horse or how to get the Giant White Stallion. However, if you want more armor instead, take a look at our guide on how to get Phantom Armor instead!
