Acquiring the Lightscale Trident in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

To acquire this elegant weapon, you must complete the Water Temple along with Sidon. After completing the Sidon of the Zora quest, you can travel to a general store named Coral Reef in the Zora’s Domain region. Make your way to the back of this store and interact with Dento, which initiates the Glory of the Zora quest.

He will task you with collecting the following components for creating the Lightscale Trident:

• One Zora Spear
• Three Diamonds
• Five Flint

Flint is easiest to obtain and can be found by breaking the ore deposits across Hyrule. These deposits also drop other materials like Ruby, Opal, and even Diamonds. You must note that Diamonds are some of the rarest resources in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

Feel free to peruse this comprehensive guide on where to find Diamonds easily in the game. You can try to complete shrines like Sihajog, Jochi-ihiga, and Yomizuk to reap some Diamonds as rewards.

The final component you need is the Zora Spear which can be found in the Tabahl Woods Cave (defeat Like Like enemy), or you can earn it by completing the Mired in Muck side quest in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

You can then return to Dento and obtain the Lightscale Trident. Note that this weapon can break, requiring you to interact with him and spend the three ingredients again.

You can fuse any materials of your choice to this weapon to enhance its power. Remember to use this weapon in areas surrounding water because you will gain a significant boost to attack power when the Lightscale Trident gets wet.
