The path to reaching the !Water Temple is a long one. After you get the Zora Armor and shoot the fused arrow through the teardrop, you will need to visit the Ancient Zora Waterworks. This is a small underground dungeon where you must unblock three pipes. The guide below goes over how to unblock all three pipes so that you can make your way to the Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom.
How to Clear The Blockages in The Ancient Zora Waterworks¶
Once you jump into the water, you will land in a pond in front of some steps and swim forward onto dry land. You will soon come across a drain pipe that is blocked. Use a bomb or weapon with a rock to break it open. This will raise the water up enough for you to get into the main room of The Ancient Zelda Waterworks. The next room has a low water level. If you look down, you will see some floating planks and the second blockage. Jump down and clear it. Look across the room to spot the third blockage. It’s a bit different as it’s off the ground. Use Ultrahand to make a makeshift ladder out of the nearby planks and then climb inside to unclog the fourth pipe.
Once you have finished with the third blockage, locate the giant pipe. Near it will be two smaller pipes that you will need to climb inside. These will lead you through the pipes, be careful, as some Chuchus will attack while inside. Your goal is to make it to the middle of the pipe system, where water is pouring down from the top. Once you see the pouring water, stand in the center and use Ascend. This will move you up to the fourth blockage. Hit it to finish filling the room.
Head through the pipe and use Ultrahand to pull the lever and open the gate. You will now need to go to the center ruins and interact with the glowing stone table. This will open the way to the sky islands and teleport Link back to Sidon.
