The Moonlit Princess

The Moonlit Princess is a short side quest in Zora's Domain centered on taking a photograph of Princess Mipha’s statue in the moonlight.

The quest begins in Zora's Domain after Link has made sufficient progress in the story to complete Sidon of the Zora and acquire the Camera through Camera Work in the Depths. Once those prerequisites are met, a Zora named Seggin can be found on the second floor of Zora's Domain. Speaking with him starts the request and explains that the image must show Princess Mipha’s statue as it stands in moonlight.

Although the quest title uses the word “princess,” the subject is Princess Mipha rather than Princess Zelda. The objective is therefore tied to Zora's Domain and its memorial statue, not to a separate search for Zelda or to a combat encounter. Link needs to use the Camera obtained earlier and capture the requested view of Mipha’s statue.

The quest is completed when the requested photograph is successfully captured and shown as the required image for Seggin’s request. Its reward is a Zora Sword, making the quest a small optional detour for players exploring Zora's Domain after the relevant story and Camera quests have been completed.

Walkthrough

1. 01

   Unlock The Moonlit Princess

   Finish the prerequisites before looking for Seggin

   Complete Sidon of the Zora and Camera Work in the Depths first. The latter is important because it provides the Camera used for the photograph, and the quest does not unlock until both listed prerequisites have been completed.

   TipIf Seggin does not offer the request, check the two prerequisite quests before searching for another trigger.

   Watch outGoing to Zora's Domain before completing the prerequisites will not start this quest.

2. 02

   Find Seggin

   Go to the second floor of Zora's Domain

   Travel to Zora's Domain and look for Seggin on the second floor. The quest begins by speaking directly with this Zora, so finding the correct level matters more than searching the surrounding region.

   Location: Zora's Domain, second floor

   TipUse the domain’s interior layout to reach the second floor rather than treating the quest as a wilderness objective.

3. 03

   Start The Moonlit Princess

   Speak with Seggin

   Talk to Seggin to hear the request involving Princess Mipha’s statue. The title can be misleading: the princess named by the request is Mipha, not Princess Zelda.

   Location: Second floor of Zora's Domain

   Watch outDo not search for a Zelda-related objective; Seggin’s request concerns Princess Mipha’s statue.

   Checkpoint
4. 04

   Set up the requested photograph

   Prepare the Camera

   Select the Camera obtained from Camera Work in the Depths and position Link to photograph the statue. The required subject is Princess Mipha’s statue as it stands in the moonlight, so a photograph of a different character or object will not satisfy the request.

   Location: Zora's Domain

   TipKeep the statue clearly in view before capturing the image so the requested subject is unambiguous.

5. 05

   Photograph Princess Mipha’s statue

   Capture Princess Mipha’s statue in the moonlight

   Take the requested picture when the statue is standing in moonlight. A successful capture completes the quest; if the image does not register as the requested photograph, adjust the view and try again rather than leaving Zora's Domain.

   Location: Zora's Domain

   Watch outThe quest remains unfinished until the Camera captures the requested image.

   Checkpoint
6. 06

   Finish the quest and receive the reward

   Collect the Zora Sword

   After the requested image has been successfully captured, the quest is complete and the reward is issued. The reward for completing The Moonlit Princess is a Zora Sword.

   Location: Zora's Domain

Mission mechanics

The Moonlit Princess is a photography-focused request rather than a combat mission. Its central mechanic is the Camera: Link must use the tool obtained through Camera Work in the Depths to record the scene requested by Seggin.

The quest’s identifying condition is the combination of subject and lighting. Seggin asks for a picture of Princess Mipha’s statue as it stands in the moonlight, so the objective is more specific than simply photographing any statue in Zora's Domain.

The quest also uses progression gating. Sidon of the Zora and Camera Work in the Depths must both be completed before Seggin will initiate the request, which places this activity after those quests in Link’s exploration of Zora's Domain.
