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.
