The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild offers players an expansive world filled with hidden secrets, powerful weapons, and engaging shrine quests. One notable item that intrigues many adventurers is the Ceremonial Trident, a specialized weapon crafted as a replica of the Lightscale Trident. Finding this weapon is essential for completing a specific shrine quest in Zora's Domain, making it a key item for completionists.
Where to Find the Ceremonial Trident in Zora's Domain
The Ceremonial Trident is hidden underwater directly beneath the northwest bridge leading into Zora's Domain. Players can speak to an NPC named Trello, who reveals that he accidentally dropped the precious spear off the bridge. The water currents under the bridge are strong, so searching carefully from above or on ice platforms is recommended.
To locate the weapon quickly, activate the Magnesis Sheikah Slate rune while standing near the water's edge. The metal weapon will highlight in red beneath the surface, making it easy to spot even in deep water. Once you pin down its location, you can prepare the proper tools to retrieve it safely.
How to Recover the Trident Using Sheikah Runes
Retrieving the trident requires a smart combination of the Cryonis and Magnesis runes. First, cast Cryonis on the water to create a series of ice pillars near the underwater metallic outline. Hop across these ice platforms until you are within close range of the submerged weapon.
Switch back to Magnesis once you are standing firmly on an ice pillar directly above the item. Target the trident with your magnetic beam, lift it out of the water, and balance it onto your ice block. From there, simply walk up and claim the weapon for your inventory.
Completing The Ceremonial Song Shrine Quest
Acquiring the trident triggers progress for The Ceremonial Song shrine quest given by Laruta and Trello. You must take the weapon west of Zora's Domain to Veiled Falls, where a mysterious pedestal sits underwater. Equipping the trident while performing a downward thrust from high above will activate the hidden shrine.
Players can gain necessary elevation by using the Zora Armor to swim up the nearby waterfall or by launching with Revali's Gale. Falling directly onto the glowing pedestal with an aerial attack unveils the Dagah Keek Shrine, completing the quest successfully.
How to Reforge the Ceremonial Trident
If your Ceremonial Trident breaks or gets lost during your adventure, you do not need to worry. You can visit the master blacksmith Dento in Zora's Domain to forge a brand new replica.
Dento can craft a replacement as long as you bring him a standard Zora Spear along with five pieces of Flint. This crafting system ensures that you can always replace the weapon if you need it for combat or collection purposes.
