Glory of the Zora overview

Glory of the Zora is a post-regional side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that asks Link to help Dento restore the Lightscale Trident.

Glory of the Zora begins in Zora's Domain after the regional main quest involving the Water Temple has been completed. Dento, the blacksmith, is the quest giver, and his request centers on restoring a weapon with deep historical ties to the Zora rather than on clearing a dungeon or defeating a named enemy. The quest is therefore best approached as a materials-gathering task.

Dento needs three different materials before he can reforge the Lightscale Trident: one Zora Spear, three diamonds, and five pieces of flint. These materials are delivered to Dento as part of the reforging process. The required quantities are fixed by the quest, so checking the inventory before returning to Zora's Domain can prevent an unnecessary trip.

The Lightscale Trident is historically associated with Mipha and Sidon, which gives the errand significance beyond its simple crafting requirements. Completing Glory of the Zora also changes the practical use of Dento's service: after the initial reforging, he can remake the Lightscale Trident for Link again whenever the necessary materials are supplied.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Unlock Glory of the Zora

    Finish the regional main quest involving the Water Temple

    Glory of the Zora is locked until the regional main quest involving the Water Temple has been completed. If Dento does not offer the request, confirm that this prerequisite has been resolved before spending time searching for the materials.

    Location: The Water Temple regional storyline

    TipTreat the Water Temple quest as the progression gate; the blacksmith request is not an early-game starting errand.

  2. 02

    Start the side quest

    Travel to Zora's Domain and find Dento

    Go to Zora's Domain and speak with Dento, the blacksmith. His conversation starts Glory of the Zora and explains that the Lightscale Trident needs materials before it can be restored.

    Location: Zora's Domain

    Checkpoint
  3. 03

    Collect the weapon component

    Gather one Zora Spear

    Obtain a Zora Spear and keep it available for Dento's request. The spear is not interchangeable with the diamonds or flint, so having only the other materials will not satisfy the weapon component of the task.

    Location: Hyrule

    Watch outDo not assume that any spear will meet the request; the required weapon is specifically a Zora Spear.

  4. 04

    Collect the reforging materials

    Gather three diamonds and five pieces of flint

    Collect the three diamonds and five pieces of flint listed by Dento. Check the inventory before returning to Zora's Domain, because the reforging cannot be completed until all three material categories are supplied in the requested quantities.

    Location: Hyrule

    TipCount each material category separately rather than treating the request as a single generic collection objective.

  5. 05

    Submit the materials

    Return to Dento with the complete set

    Speak with Dento again in Zora's Domain once Link has one Zora Spear, three diamonds, and five pieces of flint. Provide the materials through the conversation to let him begin the restoration.

    Location: Zora's Domain

    Checkpoint
  6. 06

    Complete Glory of the Zora

    Receive the reforged Lightscale Trident

    After the material handoff, Dento completes the reforging and the initial quest concludes. The restored weapon is the quest's main outcome, while Dento's later ability to remake it provides an ongoing service rather than a new objective in this first completion.

    Location: Dento's smithy in Zora's Domain

Mission mechanics

Glory of the Zora is structured around a blacksmith hand-in rather than a combat encounter. Dento is both the quest giver and the craftsman who performs the restoration, so the essential loop is to unlock the request, assemble the specified inventory, and return to the same character in Zora's Domain.

The material list has distinct roles in the reforging request. The Zora Spear supplies the weapon component, while diamonds and flint serve as additional required materials. Because all three categories are necessary, the quest is best handled as a single preparation trip followed by one return to Dento.

The completed quest has a useful persistence effect: Dento can remake the Lightscale Trident for Link in the future when the necessary materials are available. This makes the quest relevant even after the first hand-in, although the initial completion remains the point at which the service becomes available.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • Dento's ability to remake the weapon later gives the completed quest continuing utility.

Weaknesses

  • Diamonds are part of the required material set, so players who have used or sold their reserves may need additional preparation.
  • The quest provides no separate combat encounter or exploration route to substitute for gathering the requested materials.

Best uses

  • Complete it when the required materials are already in the inventory.
  • Use it to unlock Dento's later Lightscale Trident remaking service.
  • Plan the hand-in around a visit to Zora's Domain after the Water Temple storyline.
