The once lively Zora domain now faces chaos due to polluted waters, posing a grave threat to the Zoras. As Prince Sidon battles this menace, your duty is to find King Dorephan and resolve the crisis.
Finding King Dorephan's location in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is part of the "Clues to the Sky" quest, and can prove to be quite a challenge. If you're stuck on finding him, we got you. This article will tell you all about King Dorephan's location and how to get there.
To get on King Dorephan's trail, you must complete the early sections of the game and unlock the Regional Phenomena quest. Head east to Zora's Domain and follow the storyline until you meet Prince Sidon. Finally, you'll get a quest where you have to eavesdrop on Zora's children, who will give you rather obscure clues about the king's location, but that's okay! We will explain exactly how to get there.
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: How To Find King Dorephan
In the quest The Clues To The Sky, you will learn that King Dorephan is located somewhere in a hidden cave behind a waterfall between the Zora's Domain and Ploymus Mountain. Then you can check out all the waterfalls... or take a peek at the map below:
To proceed, go to Lulu Lake and face the waterfall right in front of you. Instead of going behind it, look to the left side where you'll find a small opening. Simply pass through there to reach the Pristine Sanctum.

Alternatively, you can also head to the waterfall below to enter the Pristine Sanctum. But to make this work, you must not wear the Zora armor when swimming or flying through the waterfall, since Link will automatically swim up the waterfall if you wear it, which will prevent you from reaching the cave.
We recommend the first solution, since it's just the easier way to proceed.

In the Pristine Sanctum you will meet King Dorephan, who will give you some information and hand you five King's Scale along with another quest marker for this story line. Your next stop is to visit Prince Sidon at Mipha Court.
