Sidon

Sidon was the prince, now the newly crowned king of Zora's Domain. He is the major supporting character who is the son of King Dorephan, the younger brother of Mipha, and the husband of Yona. 
==What Makes Him an Ensemble Dark Horse?==
*Sidon's character design is very cool and appealing to the players which made him instantly popular with the fanbase due to them finding him attractive and his infant self is nothing short of adorable. It's no surprise that he often makes appearances in fan art. 
*His enthusiastic and loving personality is a very common subject among many people, and it shows that he is a very good ruler to his people, and he is extremely notable for flashing his teeth when he grins. And not only is he popular with real-life fans, but he also has a fan club in-universe led by Tula.
*Fans love Sidon's chemistry with Link and willingness to defend him when an older Zora talks down to him, and it wasn't too long before he became a main subject of shipping with fans shipping him with various characters, most commonly with Link, which is the most popular slash ship. 
*His relationship with his sister Mipha is bittersweet and it is easy to have sympathy for Sidon since in his own timeline, his sister died when he was a child and he had to grow up without her for the rest of his life and it shows that he mourns for her and in Age of Calamity, it's easy to notice Sidon sometimes looking away from her and trying to put up a strong front for her, and their chemistry with each other is amazing. Tears of the Kingdom, his grief for her got so bad that he was unwilling to let Yona help deal with the sludge as he feared for her life, and it took Yona telling him to chin up and focus on the future ahead of him. Sidon's sympathetic qualities are played seriously and his angsty moments are kept at a healthy realistic level, without getting to the point of becoming irritating. It was due to many of his traits that he evolved into something greater. 
*While his reception towards his Sage power in Tears of the Kingdom was mixed alongside his relationship with Yona (mainly among Sidlink shippers), it doesn't detract from his Ensemble Dark Horse status as these flaws mainly point to his power and relationship, not Sidon himself and there are fans that are okay with him being with Yona.
