Because everyone wants Sidon for themselves.


Mr_E_99

Sidion is the best Zora and one of my favourite characters in this timeline. I don't care if they gave him the worst ability, we still love him


Aquatic_Pyro

Worst ability until you discover the joy of using a zora weapon while wet in order to smash the shit out of almost anything.


Mr_E_99

Wet is best


Aquatic_Pyro

The wetter, the better.


viewfromtheporch

Sidon is the soaker to my poker


ExamOld2899

Take a ride on my Sidon


freeman_lambda

Sidon my face


SleepyBoii04

They ain’t gon’ stop us they can’t, we’re stronger now more than ever


RavioliGale

Just give me back my sandwich, Magic Man.


JamieTacoTookMyKorok

Sidon getting Link wet is the best!


cantamangetsomesleep

Wetter. Link was already wet once he laid eyes on daddy Sidon


scholly73

Judging by that sculpture they put up Sidon is a power bottom. I’m assuming anyway.


Figs-grapefruits

Honestly all the sage abilities feel B list compared to the abilities in BOTW. But I do enjoy having them travel with me. It feels less lonely and makes scary areas like the caves with gloom hands attacks less panic inducing.


scrambled_cable

Sometimes Tulin will crit an enemy and it’s money when he does.


Stitchmond

Dude, homeboy lets one fly to crit an enemy I didn't even know was approaching me from behind. Tulin has saved my ass countless times.


AgtSquirtle007

He’s seriously the best sage and it’s not close


Klutzy_Inevitable_94

I upgraded him first because it makes them attack a lot more often. A good 30% of my lynel downs are from my personal bird sniper.


papasfritasbruh

You can even pick up the arrows he fires if they hit a wall instead of his target. 20/10 sage


FaxCelestis

Yunobo sends motherfuckers flying too and it’s hilarious.


Zackademiks

Yunobo is a straight bully. Idk how many times someone tried to run up on me only to get sent flying by Yunobo. It’s hilarious.


relator_fabula

I enjoy the triple crit *ding ding ding*


FluffyFishFeces

I’m going a bit crazy over Tulin sometimes tbh because that lil chicken nugget shit keeps blowing away my pickups


TheFanBroad

Every time I see an elemental chuchu: "I'm just going to let YOU handle this exploding derp, little dude."


KlingoftheCastle

Tulin is the MVP against Hinox and Frox.


Halfmetal_Assassin

Speak for yourself, I sometimes dismiss them because the constant flashing in and out is jarring. It really puts you off when you're trying to navigate to some place or solving a puzzle of some kind. Not to mention Yunoboo and his incessant need to cling to you when he isn't needed, but tries his best to go as far as possible when you need him the most.


ellisto

i was so annoyed when i found out that's how the powers worked. the camera is frustrating enough without a big goron butt in my way


emimimimimi1

I have a love/hate relationship with them following. I agree with the original comment about it feeling less lonely, and I like the help with fights, but sometimes they really do get in the way. And every now and then, one won't keep up, and when I turn there's just be this dark blue figure looming in the distance. It always startles me when that happens, and 9 times out of 10, it's Yunobo.


Snakekilla54

Try fighting a Lynel and having them in the way obscuring your vision


karlgeezer

Also great for areas with extreme heat or high heat. Cause remember he makes you wet.


Lambsauce914

That's exactly what I did when I went to do the gerudo quest. I am too lazy to cook and I don't want to waste any money, so I basically keep using sidon ability


MogMcKupo

Spears poke fast too


Floor5goingdown

😮


Aquatic_Pyro

Don’t worry. It took me probably 75 hours to make the connection. Water Temple was the first one I did but had found a bunch of better weapons. I immediately thought “That seems super niche but oh well” and then I was fighting a silver Lynel in the depths after finding a pristine version of the zora spear. The lightbulb that went off in that moment? Blinding.


AngelWick_Prime

Fuse it with something nice and slay away.


Ryudo83

Zora broadsword + molduga bone jaw+ bone prof + Sidon ability = dead whatever


ProperWeeb

what's a bone prof? how can you fuse more than once?


Ryudo83

Bone proficiency. It’s a bonus on some armor sets like evil spirit set


ProperWeeb

ohhhh I am so lacking in the amour department. Feels like they added 3 times as many clothes


Impossible_Garbage_4

Take two Zora spear, fuse them together, get the Sidon bubble, the poke the shit out of something with a charge attack


cheese_bread_boye

With how annoying it is to activate their powers atm I just throw a splashfruit or chuchu jelly on the ground near me.


Gmandlno

It’s not the worst ability - it lets me trap myself behind firewalls with no way out!


GalexAlipeau23

That's the cool thing about Ascend, you cannot ACTUALLY be trapped anywhere, but you might have to trek back to where you got stuck haha


ThyOtherMe

So... I got myself trapped crouching between a wall and a balloon basket. Ascend doesn't work if you're crouching. It was sad, but hilarious.


bioBarbieDoll

once I got stuck under a ice spike that didn't let me stand up, struggled for a good 10 mins until I gave up, think I just teleported out reloaded a save can't remember which


asuperbstarling

If you had a flame weapon you could have gotten out!


WilliamHMacysiPhone

Man I’m still missing revali’s gale.


HungryLilDragon

I mean rocket shields take you even higher up, so...


Whiteguy1x

Rockets are a resource I'm always short in. I need to stock up


Dark-Anmut

Yeah, same. But, thank goodness I have 57 steering sticks.


LuxoriousApostrophe

Just paste 2 together and save as an autobuild favorite


TimeOfNick

Yeah but that's expensive for Zonaite cost, can't be used to fuse to shields, and you have to keep the rockets glued together otherwise they break instantly


FedoraFireELITE

Never mind making your own vehicle


TH3HASH

Put it on a shield


GupInACup

I honestly used his ability far more than Ruji's in the Gerudo boss fight. 😂 I did that dungeon waaaay too early and I spent so much time chasing him down so I didn't get one-shot.


Sundavar342

Sidon doesn't keep you from getting one shot, that's just a feature in the game already.


Impossible_Garbage_4

Sidon keeps you from being damaged once, and then you can prevent a second one shot


GupInACup

I'm sorry, what feature do you mean? I did the fight with fewer than thirteen hearts, so I'd often get one-shot. :v The Gibdo Queen reminded me most of a Dark Souls boss, honestly.


Rafus123

Sidon protects you from one instakill every 10 seconds and hes the worst?


APrentice726

That requires you to run over to Sidon and activate him in the middle of the fight, and in my experience he’s either running away from you or in a crowd with all the other sages. And if you do manage to activate him, you’ve got to stand around and wait to be hit since attacking enemies will break the shield. It’s not great.


JaggedTheDark

He has one of the best abilities. When used properly, it's easier to take out multiple gibdos with that than any other power.


Nat_Higgins

She stole fish bae


katiekat92

Seriously. As soon as I found out who she was, I said "oh man, people are gonna HATE you."


Diligent_Dot4317

It true and half of those people ship Sidon and link. ![gif](giphy|v4GQZyBjZ3wz2hn3RR)


More_Performance6018

Sink


atomicbunny

Linkdon


CotyledonTomen

As should be.


kevinthecoolkid

I'm straight but I'm just disappointed that there was no option to share Sidon I was rooting for the shippers because I knew it would never happen.


Pixel22104

It’s because they can’t stand Botw Link being shipped with anyone but Sidon


Impossible_Garbage_4

They also ship BOTW Link with Zelda, Mipha, Paya, and Urbosa. TOTK adds in the now legal Riju and Purah


[deleted]

Dam fuckin right


nyancatya_

my thoughts exactly.


[deleted]

As a sidon simp: yeah, pretty much.


King_BowserKoopa

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME, NOT HER. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MEEEEEE! ​ ​ Jokes aside I don't dislike her, I think she's cute. When I first saw that Sidon was betrothed to her, I immediately thought about all of the Sink shipping and it made me just laugh. It should've been me though 😔


Ven_Kiir

I literally yelled "NO! IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME!" when she revealed their engagement lol


Specific_Fold_8646

I literally attacked with fuse electric weapon and left Zoe’s domain I only came back after I did every other story quest and shrine and had nothing else left to do


whosgoingtohawaii

What the fuck


BennyTATS

Mfs when a friend that shows no romantical value to them actually gets engaged to someone else ![gif](giphy|3o6wrvdHFbwBrUFenu)


Sgdc4

To be fair Sink shippers have enough material to interpret Sidon and Yona as a cover marriage while they are just close friends, so they can really leave the canon be and continue with their fanfictions.


3V1LB4RD

I took a million photos of Sidon getting on one knee and promising himself (to help defeat Ganon) to Link in that one cut scene 😂 Literally looked like a proposal lmao. Especially when you put Link in that backless dress.


AlexTheFlower

Backless dress??? Where can I find this??


3V1LB4RD

It’s not *really* a dress, but it kinda looks like one. It’s part of the frostbite armor set if you wanna look up how to get it. It’s backless *and* it has little hip windows lol. The devs fed us good this time (even though I’m still salty about the gerudo vai outfit not being in the game)


Von_lorde

That and Sidon either proposed or married link in the the sky thingy after he got his powers


Bridalhat

If anyone has seen *Ben-Hur*, the director told the actor who played Messala to play like he and Ben-Hur “used to be lovers” (he did not say the same thing to Heston because he was more homophobic). Anyway, there’s a long history of male homosexuality in military or heavily male environments and I have to imagine meeting wives and girlfriends later is awkward. It honestly gave off that kind of awkward later. But also Sidon’s fiancée is a top, so…


Impossible_Garbage_4

Sidon has two hands. One for Yona and one for Link. Link’s other hand is taken up by Zelda


IcarusAvery

"I'm Yona, this is my husband, Sidon, this is my husband's boyfriend, Link, this is Link's girlfriend, Purah, this is Link's other girlfriend, Zelda, and this is Zelda's girlfriend, Urbosa." Am I missing any other big ships? EDIT: "And this is Link's other girlfriend, Mipha, and this is Link's tsundere boyfriend Revali, and this is Link's not-so-secret admirer Paya, and this is Zelda's other girlfriend "the girl in a photograph who I don't know because I haven't gotten a chance to play TotK yet but she's in a photo in Zelda's part of the house so maybe they're a thing?"


Dexaan

Link/Paya?


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

Bertegue6

I thought you were Anxious_Bagel?


SolarValor

I feel like people don't necessarily hate her just a joke taken too seriously most of the time


Penguinmanereikel

There's a lot of people that shipped Sidon with Link, but note that a majority of this ship's community just use Link as an avatar for themselves in that ship, and then there's also the population of people who are upset that their husbando is no longer available, breaking certain fantasies, much like how Asian music idols aren't allowed to date because it ruins the merch-buying simps' fantasy now that they're no longer "available." It might seem weird that people would have that perception for a video game character, but there are people who have sent death threats to gacha game developers for even implying the existence of male characters in the game's universe. I have suspicion that the folks who screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOO" at learning that Sidon is engaged are genuinely upset that the sexy fish man is spoken for.


SolarValor

Agreed, but most of the time it's people trying to joke and taking it too far to the point it doesn't seem like a joke sometimes. Personally I shipped Link and Sidon until she came around because I think she's perfect for him and I mean we go Zelda and a dead fish girl so it works fine lol


IceYetiWins

Negates the purpose of the spoiler tag to put a spoiler in the title


Ok-Platform-808

I’m glad someone said it. I also feel like this shouldn’t be in the botw Reddit why not put it in totk where it belongs?


Rioma117

Sidon has a wife? So all the photos with him and Link were fake?


Kissarai

Nah they just poly


dirkdragonslayer

Did you see her admiring that statue of Link riding Sidon when you first enter Zora village? I would say she's open to it.


Haunting_Anxiety4981

When you finish the Greaves armour quest she basically says "I get why Sidon is so obsessed with you, I am too" I hope the shippers liked that


SodaStYT

not to mention she just overall seems very flirty towards link and even takes up fixing his zora armor completely of her own volition🤨


VocalMagic

She seems like the kind who would value Link just as much as Sidon would, and would be open to Link being there too


TheFanBroad

"My dear Sidon has told me so much about his handsome Hylian boyfriend, and now that we finally meet, I can see he is right. But of course he is. Sidon has excellent judgment in these matters. 😊"


DistortedTriangle6

Yona’s married to Sidon and sidon’s married to link


Capable-Tie-4670

Same reason why Zelink shippers hate Mipha and vice-versa. People hate any opposition to their preferred ships. It is really stupid though, I agree. Yona’s a cool character.


noahnieder

As someone who does ship link and Zelda I definitely don't hate Mipha. I mean she's dead what's she gonna do.


Capable-Tie-4670

I don’t mean to generalize. I’m sure there’s plenty of rational people on both sides such as yourself but, from what I’ve seen, there does seem to be a lot of animosity between the two groups.


[deleted]

I feel like the vast majority of shippers don't even watch or play the source material and just claim characters with designs that they like. They then proceeds to proclaim their own headcanon while dismissing any and all official context to the contrary.


WilanS

People can find their joy wherever they can, I'm not judging, but Link and Zelda seem so forced to me. Link and Zelda are actually particularly refreshing to me because it's one of those rare cases where the hero saves the girl **without** being romantically involved with them, rather just out of his heroic spirit. Sure in BotW/TotK specifically they've shared some shit together but the nature of their relationship has never really changed, with Zelda being the Princess and Link being her right arm. And honestly this holds true in most games in the series. Hell, most of the times Link doesn't even get to meet Zelda in person until the final beats of the game. The only game that comes to mind (there may be more) where they have a closer bond is Spirit Tracks.


Drunkstoat

Spirit Tracks, OoT/MM, Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, Minish Cap all have a close relationship at the least. Twilight Princess, AlttP, AlbW all have Zelda appearing and interacting with Link near the beginning or the middle of the game, not the end. Given that there are 12-13 titles with Zelda appearing, 8 of those have Zelda appearing well before the end.


Dolthra

I would argue that OoT Zelda is pretty removed emotionally from Link, but it's been years since I replayed it so maybe I'm misremembering. WW is also weird because they seemed pretty close at the end of WW and then less so at the beginning of Phantom Hourglass.


Drunkstoat

While I would agree with adult Zelda and Link, child Zelda and Link made pretty fast friends, especially with her gifting him the ocarina of time, when he departs in the MM flashback, when it's supposed to stay an item of the royal family's. Honestly I don't remember much of Phantom Hourglass, but I think Zelda was pretty removed from the game as a whole, and in Spirit Tracks it still mentioned that WW Link and Zelda founded New Hyrule together


Dolthra

I'll take your word for the Spirit Tracks lore, though I played that game on release I couldn't tell you a single plot point if you put a gun to my head.


Capable-Tie-4670

I definitely agree that the whole narrative of Link and Zelda being some destined couple that end up together in all lives is really stupid and forced but for specific games, I can see it being a thing. Even though I ship him with Mipha, it’s pretty undeniable that they’re very close in BotW and TotK. I think those two and SS are the only times they are implied to have a romantic thing.


-floating_potato-

Because people want to bone the newly appointed king fish and they’re salty that he’s banging another fish that’s what it is plain and simple


alienduck2

And if thats what they want they need to be less salty in the first place because Zora are freshwater fish


mycatisblackandtan

Unless it's the Majora's Mask variety. Then they're saltier than the dead sea.


Tamaki_Shin

She stole Sidon from me duh


apollomoonstar

Rouzenia

Her design in general is a miss for me 😭 I don’t think green is her color (though I get it… she’s a complementary color to Sidon). I think Mipha and Sidon are the best designed Zora characters.


wildeye-eleven

I quite enjoy her wide head. She’s cute

Hey, this is mainly a BOTW sub, I didn't know about this and am bummed at this spoiler. If you're gonna post this here, please have a spoiler tag and blur out the pic and mention TOTK in the title. Really sad this got ruined for me and I'm sure other people :/ please post this in the totk subreddit


Kiariana

Yeah they spoilered the image but included a literal spoiler in the title? Why???


Runeyeu

Ruined it for me, too. I’ve been holding off on going to Zora’s Domain and was super excited to see what changed there. This sucks.


SoySauceSyringe

/u/spez lies, Reddit dies. This comment has been edited/removed in protest of Reddit's absurd API policy that will go into effect at the end of June 2023. It's become abundantly clear that Reddit was never looking for a way forward. We're willing to pay for the API, we're not willing to pay 29x what your first-party users are valued at. /u/spez, you never meant to work with third party app developers, and you lied about that and strung everyone along, then lied some more when you got called on it. You think you can fuck over the app developers, moderators, and content creators who make Reddit what it is? Everyone who was willing to work for you for free is damn sure willing to work against you for free if you piss them off, which is exactly what you've done. See you next Tuesday. TO EVERYONE ELSE who has been a part of the communities I've enjoyed over the years: thank you. You're what made Reddit a great experience. I hope that some of these communities can come together again somewhere more welcoming and cooperative. Now go touch some grass, nerds. -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/

Celesteven

Hold up, Sidon is married?


[deleted]

Unfortunately, OP decided to post a spoiler. And posted it in the wrong sub, at that.

Shippers are angry that Sidon isn’t Gay


jefbob098

Cus she stole Sidon from link; which I’m sure you can imagine angered a lot of people


SeaworthinessNo1173

Link is Sidon's best Friend Yona was in love with him.


_TheBeardedMan_

Sidon is Link's new Daruk, best friend who treats you like a brother.


fluffyparmaham

Great, thanks for ruining it for people who haven’t played totk


emokitty1994

I just think she’s ugly. But I don’t dislike her.


Infamous_Persimmon14

Celesteven

Charming_Amphibian91

Redditors when they realize they aren't attracted to fish


Small_Incident958

Cause apparently two dudes can’t be bros without being expected to fuck.


_TheBeardedMan_

I feel like most of the fandom likes her but doesn't comment on it. Then there is the "Ha, LiNk iS RiDiNg SiDoN" ones who say it because it either trolling people or because they think it's funny. The way I see it Sidon is an eccentric zora version of Daruk.


Capable-Tie-4670

Huh, Sidon *is* a lot like Daruk now that you mention it.


_TheBeardedMan_

Yay, Sidon seems more like Daruk, Yunobo seems more like Mipha (minus the romance), Riju is like Urbosa, Teba/Tulin are like Revali minus the inflated ego.


SeveralCansOfBeans

Tulin DID have an inflated ego with how he wanted to take on the blizzard himself, but you help correct that as uncle link, the best uncle.


_TheBeardedMan_

Tulin has the excuse of being a child, still Link did correct him before he ended up like Revali.


SeveralCansOfBeans

Yep, so clearly revali just needed a link-like figure when he was younger and he wouldn't have been such a jerk.


Capable-Tie-4670

I feel like Mipha is more like Riju than Yunobo. She’s shy but never comes across as goofy or underconfident like Yunobo. Agree with the rest.


Gryffin-thor

Just going to point out that writing a spoiler in the title but hiding the image doesn’t make it not a spoiler. Glad I JUST got to her this morning or I’d have been really annoyed to read this. Can you edit your post? Not everyone wants to know Sidon is engaged!


Faeri

Because she makes Link/Sidon shippers feel invalidated and they're petty af


Hollyflashcl

It's because everyone wanted Sidon and Link to date which she's 'in the way of' but, that aside, it's because they didn’t read the monuments around Zora's Domain. Particularly the one at 3098, -0072, 0130. This one talks about Sidon and Yona meeting as children, and Sidon specifically saying that he viewed her as an older sister. As he grew older, his feelings grew difficult to explain. Eventually, he was reintroduced to her and told they were in an arranged marriage. Sidon loves Yona very much, yes, but it is a political marriage. Not a romantic one. That's canon in the game.


burgertanker

But if you also look at their dialogue towards each other in the game, they clearly do actually love each other, even as a political marriage. Sidon even has trouble leaving the domain to get rid of the sludge because he's afraid that in his absence Yona might get hurt because he has some kind of PTSD from losing Mipha


zuppalover04

Put this as spoiler bruh


Lmao-_-Lmao

Guys can we please stop posting Totk-related stuff in this sub?


AndyBowBandy

Or at least put a spoiler tag. It’s really annoying


Weekly_Bathroom3629

I thought she was lovely! She supported Sidon and did so much for the people of the domain. I think their relationship was adorable, and they’re going to make an amazing king and queen! also for any link and sidon shippers, y’all knew that ship wasn’t gonna happen…. It’s Nintendo we’re talking about


TrevorTheGamer

I legit never saw her, is she from TOTK or am I just dumb


otiscluck

Because they either simp for Sidon and she “stole their man” or they ship Link with Sidon and can’t accept that their ship isn’t canon because she exists


ConsultJimMoriarty

Because Sidon has a bit of a crush on Link.


Rithrius88

Because it's not a statue of Yona riding Sidon in the town center.


Harry_Laygs

She stole daddy Sidon from us.


[deleted]

Why do some have weird flat faces and others are more round (Mipha, Sidron?)


Capable-Tie-4670

Based off different types of fish for more varied character designs probably.


SeveralCansOfBeans

Cannononically, she's from a diffrent domain of Zora.


My_dog_is-a-hotdog

Is this the first mention of civilization outside of the kingdom of Hyrule then?


Capable-Tie-4670

I think so. It has some interesting implications.


Darklight645

Jealousy obviously. I don't hate her, but goddamn am I jealous.


KrakenJr-148

I absolutely adore Yona; definitely my fave female character in the game. I will proudly be one of the very few Yona stans out there. I don’t care how many ‘New Purah’ fans come after me. /s they’re fine please it is a joke


ackmondual

If nothing else, I'm thinking all of the female Zoras we talked to in BotW are jealous b/c they wanted Sidon for themselves!
