Sidon

is a recurring character in . It was shown in Tears of the Kingdom that he is a descendant of one of the Six Sages, the Sage of Water.
== Physical appearance ==
Sidon's appearance is based on that of a Hammerhead Shark. His is crimson red in color. As a Royal Zora, he is much taller and stronger than the average Zora. He predominantly wears silver colored jewelry and adornments marking his status as a Royal Zora. The Zora emblem can be seen as part of his outfit on his rear fins which are the equivalent of dorsal fins. His weapon of choice is the Lightscale Trident which was a weapon favored by his older sister, Mipha before her death over 100 years prior. Upon awakening as the Sage of Water, his Zonai Secret Stone can be seen on his left hand in a special gauntlet. 
==Personality==
Sidon is extroverted, evidenced by his enthusiasm and optimistic view on life. He seems to see things on the positive side even during dark times and doesn't let his royal heritage affect him. Because of this, he is very popular with most of the younger Zora, and he exhibits kindness to everyone around him and it extends to non-Zora races. While usually quite cheerful, Sidon can be serious when necessary and he doesn't take kindly to any kind of prejudice against others, as he often silences Muzu when he rudely tried to object to having Link help them out. He is also strict when it comes to unwanted visitors when his father is busy with other things and will escort them out, but he makes an exception for Link when he saw that he was a Hylian who would help appease Divine Beast Vah Ruta as the Zoras cannot use the Shock Arrows needed to disable it, and Seggin, who was rather shock-resistant for an aged Zora, but still rather weak. Sidon can be seen staring at his sister's statue and silently mourns her as the loss of her had affected him deeply, but to honor his beloved sister's memory he tried to remain as cheerful and positive as possible and is devoted to protecting his home, just as Mipha requested of him when he was a child.
In Tears of the Kingdom, he initially appears solemn, being focused on removing the Sludge that is affecting his kingdom, alongside being anxious regarding his missing father. However, he eventually cheers up, thanks to his fiancée, Yona, and helps Link defeat the Sludge Like.

Waterblight was too strong for both of them, though as Mipha approaches despite the odds and exhaustion, Sidon quicklyobjects. Thankfully, Sidon's efforts bought them enough time for help to arrive and they were able to slay Waterblight Ganon. Mipha's exhaustion gets the best of her when she pleads them to help Daruk, so Sidon leaves Vah Ruta with Link and his friends and slayed the Igneo Talus that was blocking the path to Divine Beast Vah Rudania with lava so Mipha can use Ruta to spray water to cool it. They enter Rudania to help Daruk and Yunobo take out Fireblight Ganon. At the end of the battle, as Daruk thanks Link and Yunobo for their help, Mipha is still confused by Sidon's adult presence and asks for clarification, which Sidon confirms. He goes on to explain that he arrived from the future. Daruk laughs it off before putting up a serious front to ask Princess Zelda about Hyrule Castle's latest fate. After all four Champions and Divine Beasts are saved from the Blight Ganons, Zelda begins to recall Sidon's story on how he got there causing Zelda to piece the puzzles together and realize that Terrako was responsible for bringing him and the other warriors back to save the Champions and was eternally grateful before turning their attention to Akkala Citadel.

Upon arrivial Mipha and Sidon managed to save Link and the group from being blasted by a Guardian Stalker.

After that, Mipha leaves the control of Vah Ruta to Sidon while she heads out to heal the injuries to the injured Hylian soldiers and managed to hold them off until Daruk and Yunobo arrived to assist them until the bridge was destroyed to stop the Malice Guardians from infitrating the citadel and finished off, successfully saving the stronghold.
In the Guardian of Remembrance DLC EX Battle of Goponga Village, Sidon and Mipha are at Goponga Village to help the Zora soldiers stationed there.

The younger Sidon steps between her and the Moblin with a spear, to Mipha's horror and begs of him to run away before Sidon heard her cries and slayed the Moblin before it could harm any of them. He then checks on his younger self and Mipha is reliefed to see that they are alright and asks her Sidon about his presence there. The adult Sidon deduces that his younger self only wanted to do his part and tells him that he should go off on his own, but he does praise him for his courage and goes on that he will continue to get stronger so that he will protect his sister, albeit trailing off a bit, before he and his younger self flash their grins, with Mipha giggling in amusement.

With her surviving father's blessing, Princess Zelda takes command of the united army and gives a rousing speech before charging to take the outposts and destroying the monsters that hold up the barriers so the Champion Pilots can open fire. Despite the Blood Moon holding them back a bit, they still managed to press forward towards Hyrule Castle.
In the The Future of Hyrule Scenario, Sidon and the rest of the warriors charge into the castle to take the fight to Astor and Harbinger Ganon. Once both villains lose to the heroes, Astor finally loses it as he orders Ganon to devour the warriors before he is devoured by Ganon's Malice himself and some of the Malice infects Terrako, forcing it to turn against Princess Zelda and Link. After being broken down to where it couldn't fight anymore, Sidon and the other warriors gather in a moment of silence as Zelda, now vengeful swears to ensure that Calamity Ganon falls as they head upstairs into the Sanctum where Ganon awaited them. Unfortunately, Ganon has high defenses to where it shrugged off all attacks and Zelda used her power to try and seal it. Terrako, who was brought back up by her power, rushed upstairs and destroys itself to destroy Ganon's invincibility, allowing the heroes to defeat it, with Link cleaving it in half with the Master Sword and Zelda using her power to finally finish off the monster once and for all. With peace finally returning to Hyrule, Terrako's screw used the last of its power to send Sidon, Yunobo, Teba, and Riju back to the future and Mipha and Sidon exchange their heartfelt good-byes as Mipha was optimistic that they will one day see each other again and Sidon replying that they will never be apart no matter how far they are, and he vanishes with the future warriors as Zelda looks on and wishes them a brighter future.

==Trivia==
*'s final design was originally gray, however, it was changed to red in-game so he could stand out more in and closely resemble his sister, .
*In a Q/A video between ZeldaDungeon and Jamie Mortellaro, ′s Lead Voice Director and English Voice Actor for , Jamie stated that is acknowledged by Nintendo as ′s most popular character among fans.
* is the only "Second Generation Champion" to not be voiced in English by the same voice actor as their predecessor.
*The name Sidon in Greek, translates to "Fishery". 
*Sidon's theme repeats the octave notes "si and do" which is a reference to his name. Mipha's theme also follows the same pattern but repeats the octaves "mi and fa". While most Zoras feature this musical easter egg, only Sidon and Mipha have unique themes in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. 
*Sidon is constantly posing in both games he appears in which, when describing him, can be seen as "posing Sidon" which may be referencing the Greek God "Poseidon" who was the god of the seas and water. This is only speculative and has not been confirmed by Nintendo or any developer for either game.
*When wearing the Vah Ruta Divine Helm in Tears of the Kingdom after awakening Sidon as a sage, Sidon himself will wear a Zonaite helm identical to the one the ancient Sage wore during the Imprisoning War. This will grant Sidon's Avatar an attack boost. This does not affect his ability's cooldown time or water attack. The Helm also grants Link a level 1 swim boost.
*When Sidon is first encountered in Tears of the Kingdom, he can be seen purifying water which was an ability that Mipha had. While Mipha was able to heal wounds as well as water, Sidon only appears to be able to purify and control water. 
*Sidon's Vow and ability are somewhat similar to Daruk's Protection in that Link will be surrounded by their ability. However, Sidon's sphere of water can only protect against a single weak attack while Daruk's Protection will protect Link from any attack up to three times per charge.
