The Zora Spear is a very strong weapon featured in both Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that players can upgrade into the Lightscale Trident. Here’s how you can easily get Mipha and Sidon’s weapon in the game, as well as how to level it up.

Some of the most powerful weapons in Tears of the Kingdom are the Zora Spear and Lightscale Trident. Both pieces of gear do additional damage when they’re combined with water which makes them extremely helpful if you’re battling foes in the game‘s watery and damp environments.

It can be difficult to find both, especially if you don’t know where to start your search. So, we’ve got everything you need to know about how to get a Zora Spear and how to upgrade it into a Lightscale Trident in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The Zora Spear can be found in a number of locations.

There are several ways that you can get the Zora Spear in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, so we’ve outlined them all below: 

  • West of Ralis Pond: Head to the cliffside located west of Ralis Pond. The exact coordinates to reach this chest are 2840, 0194, 0169.
  • Mipha Amiibo: Scanning the Mipha Amiibo can give you a chance to unlock a Zora Spear. You may need to scan it a few times as it’s not always a guaranteed drop.
  • Tabahl Woods Cave: Killing enemies that hold Zora Spears can be another effective method. There’s a Lizalfos inside the cave armed with a Zora Spear, and the Like Likes may also reward you with some Zora Spears.

The Lightscale Trident requires some rather expensive ingredients.

In order to get the Lightscale Trident in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll want to follow these simple steps:

  1. Clear the Water Temple and restore Zora’s Domain.
  2. Speak to Dento in Zora’s Domain and ask him about the Lightscale Trident.
  3. Bring Dento a Zora Spear, x5 Flint, and 3x Diamonds.

Once you have all of these items, simply return to Dento and he’ll forge you a Light Scale Trident. It’s important to note, that if you want multiple Light Scale Tridents, then you’ll need to acquire more Zora Spears, Flint, and Diamonds. 

Diamond location in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

While you can find Diamonds hidden across Hyrule, their rarity can make them rather difficult to acquire.

However, the easiest method to acquire Diamonds is by purchasing them from Gonguron, which is located in the Goron City center. Gonguron sells three Diamonds daily for 1,000 Rupees per Diamond

This is obviously pretty pricey so we recommend using our best ways to make money in Tears of the Kingdom guide. For those who have yet to complete the Goron City Main Story Quest, then you can find Diamonds in Hyrule Castle, Jinodok Shrine, Yomizuk Shrine, and Maoikes Shrine.

That’s how you can get a Zora Spear and Lightscale Trident in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Learn more about the Sky Islands and Zonaite here, and use our guides to pinpoint every Dragon Tear Geoglyph and Skyview Tower locations.
