Biography

Mipha is the Princess of the Zora, a friend of Link, and one of the Champions. She is described as being introverted and has a gift for healing. Mipha was in love with Link and made him Zora armor before her death during the Great Calamity. Link later receives the armor from Mipha's father, King Dorephan.

Mipha was a skilled spearwoman and owned a weapon known as the Lightscale Trident. A replica of the Lightscale Trident, called the ceremonial trident, is used in the Zora’s Champion Festival. Muzu was Mipha’s teacher and cared for her greatly.

During the Great Calamity, Mipha succumbed to the Scourge of Vah Ruta, Waterblight Ganon, which then possessed the Divine Beast. After Link defeats Waterblight Ganon and frees Ruta, Mipha gives him her healing power, known as Mipha’s Grace.

Mipha’s father, King Dorephan, gives Link Mipha's Lightscale Trident after freeing Vah Ruta.
