Mipha Court is a park that is situated on top of Ploymus Mountain in the Lanayru Great Spring.[2] It consists of a fountain surrounded by three pools of Water, one of which flows down into a Waterfall that eventually leads to Zora's Domain. A walkway with flowing Water leads up to Shatterback Point, where Mipha's Statue has been enshrined.[3] It utilizes the same architectural style that other pieces of Zora construction do. The Mipha Court Security Report can be found on a Table next to an unlit Campfire, which is located on the northeastern side of the park. Prior to defeating Mucktorok in the Water Temple, a stream of Sludge will fall on the Court, and several piles can be found surrounding the park's Water.
The creation of Mipha Court is detailed in the Learnings of the Zora, Part Six. After Link defeated the Lynel that previously inhabited Ploymus Mountain, Water began to flow from the area.[4] As a result, the Zora decided to construct a park on the Mountain.[5] They considered multiple names while clearing the grounds, such as "Zora Park" and "Ploymus Park".[6] When the Zora asked Sidon for an idea, he suggested Mipha Court in honor of his sister, Mipha.[7] They agreed with this name, and work on the park continued.[8]
After Sludge began falling in the Lanayru Great Spring, Sidon took up residence in Mipha Court, where he uses his Power of Water to purify the Water flowing toward Zora's Domain.[9] This has resulted in Mikau Lake and Lulu Lake being clean of Sludge. At the beginning of the Main Quest "Sidon of the Zora", Yona suggests that Link visit Sidon.[10] When Link first arrives at Mipha Court, he will find Gaddison and Rivan guarding Sidon as he purifies the Water.[11][12] Sidon is happy to be reunited with Link, [13] To help Link in the Search for Princess Zelda, Sidon directs him to meet with Jiahto at Toto Lake.[14] He also invites Link to visit him at Mipha Court whenever he wants.[15]
When Link returns to Mipha Court after completing the Main Quest "Clues to the Sky", he finds Sidon in a discussion with Yona. He is trying to convince her to leave due to danger in the area, but Yona insists that she needs to talk to him.[16] After Link updates Sidon about his progress, Yona states that the two of them should continue their investigation together.[17] However, they are soon after attacked by the Sludge Like, and Link and Sidon must work together in order to defeat it.[18] Following this, Yona is able to help Sidon overcome his fear of losing her, and he departs Mipha Court with Link. Yona and her attendants, Chroma and Khira, take over purifying the Water for him.[19]
Once "Sidon of the Zora" has been completed, the Sludge in Mipha Court and the rest of the Lanayru Great Spring will disappear. Trello begins training by running around Mipha Court, resting in the Water at night.[20] During this time, two Side Quests related to Mipha Court also become available. As part of the Side Quest "The Blue Stone", the stonemason Ledo wants to use one of the Blue Rocks found in the Reservoir Lakefront Cavern to repair Mipha Court, but it would be too heavy for him to carry it on his own.[21] After Link brings him a Blue Rock, Ledo can be found conducting repairs at Mipha Court.[22][23] During the Side Quest "The Moonlit Princess", Seggin expresses a desire to see Mipha under the moonlight again.[24] When Link shows him a Picture of Mipha's Statue at night, Seggin's loyalty to the royal Zora family is renewed.[25]

Look. Can you see it? That promontory... Our statue of Mipha, the Zora Champion, is there. That's why it is called Mipha Court.

There was once a terrifying monster on Ploymus Mountain, loosing shock arrows on all who dared crossed its path. It was of utmost importance to drive the beast away, but as the Zora are weak to electricity, our efforts were futile. That is when a lone Hylian arrived at the domain. This swordsman who was sparing with his words...his name was Link. Unlike us Zora, he was immune to shocks! Well, perhaps that is an exaggeration, but one thing is certain. He was very brave. After careful preparation, he ascended Ploymus Mountain and defeated the foul beast all by himself. As if in celebration of the newfound peace, clean water mysteriously began flowing at the top of Ploymus Mountain.

That is when many Zora, if not most, voiced support for building a place that all could enjoy in that formerly frightful spot.
— Learnings of the Zora, Part Six (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Yet the many tree roots and stones made this task tricky, leading to a focus on the no-less-difficult matter of the name. "Zora Park" was too obvious. "Ploymus Park" only conjured images of the former terrors found there.

When posed with the task of naming this storied location, I, Prince Sidon, fell silent. After a time, I timidly proposed the one and only name that came to mind for this place of newfound peace. I suggested that we name it after my beloved sister who had long been lost to us...Mipha Court.

A hush fell over the group. After a time, one of the stonemasons raised his voice in agreement. More voices joined his, one after another. The idea was embraced wholly, and the craftsmen all returned to their work. Though the work was grueling, from then until the completion of Mipha Court, the air was filled with laughter and singing.

You see, old friend... This place is the source of the water that flows into Zora's Domain. That is why I must use my power of water manipulation to separate the sludge from our water in order to clean it. If I cease, then the sullied water will flow into our beloved home, and there will be much pain and suffering. That is why I cannot afford to leave here, no matter what.
— Sidon (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
Oh! I have a lovely idea! If you do not mind, I ask that you please go and meet with Sidon. I am certain that he would be delighted to see you. Sidon can be found at Mipha Court, located at the peak of Ploymus Mountain.
— Yona (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Shhh! Keep it down!delay1 The prince requires absolute quiet to concentrate on his important work... Wait... Link?! You came here to see Prince Sidon? Well, since it's you, that should be no problem at all. I'm sure Prince Sidon will be thrilled to see you.
— Gaddison (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Prince Sidon cannot move from this place. But worry not. I swear I will protect him.
— Rivan (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Is it...really you? It's good to see you, my friend!
— Sidon (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Say, Link... Does it not seem that Princess Zelda's whereabouts might be related to the floating sky islands and the ruins? If so, perhaps you should go speak with our historian Jiahto. His many years have blessed him with great wisdom. It is quite possible that he could provide you with some useful information. At present, you should be able to find Jiahto continuing his investigation at Toto Lake.
— Sidon (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
By the way... I hope you know that I am truly happy to see you again after such a long time apart, my dearest friend. Visit me anytime you like! Your presence is never anything less than welcome and appreciated.
— Sidon (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Lady Yona! It is far too dangerous for you to be here!
— Sidon (Tears of the Kingdom)Darling, I came here because there is something I need to speak with you about. I have been thinking for quite some time...
— Yona (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
I see... My dear Sidon. I think that you should go with Link to investigate that pillar of light. As I was just about to say... For a long time, I have been concerned that you are holding yourself back and not acting as freely as I would have expected. But, my love, if you and Link join your powers, I am certain you shall be able to overcome whatever danger waits.
— Yona (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
When you told Sidon about the pillar of light at East Reservoir Lake, a sludge monster attacked.

Enough is enough! You are not acting like yourself! You must leave this place to me! Sweet Sidon... Do not get lost in the past. You must keep moving ever onward. Just follow your heart, as you always do!
— Yona (Tears of the Kingdom)Like my old self... Like I always do...
— Sidon (Tears of the Kingdom)It is all right. I swear it. I am not going anywhere.
— Yona (Tears of the Kingdom)I see... And there it is, clear as day... I was giving in to my fear of once more losing someone I love... I... I... Ahaaaaaaaaa! You are right, Yona! I will not give in to this fear! Nor forsake my trust in you! I leave this place to you, my love.

I had prepared myself that we may have to live with the sludge for another one hundred years or so. In this instance, I am happy to have so massively miscalculated. The young ones have saved us all! I am, of course, speaking about our brave King Sidon. However... My son, Rivan, and my granddaughter, Dunma, have also become so dependable. They are like brand-new Zora! I cannot allow them to take all of the glory for themselves! I will train until I return to form, starting with these legs of mine!

Ledo, a Zora stonemason, found blue stones of impeccable quality at the cave near East Reservoir Lake. He'd like to use one for repairs at Mipha Court.
— Adventure Log (Tears of the Kingdom)
Just one stone would be enough, but they're too heavy for him to swim out with. He's at a loss. - ↑
All right! I shall now set off to begin my repair work! Link! It is so fortuitous that you were here to help! Thank you, truly!
— Ledo (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Link! Thank you so much for your assistance at the reservoir! That stone was absolutely ideal for repairing the park! I intend to try my best to make it even more beautiful than it did before the Upheaval came to pass.
— Ledo (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
*sigh* It still burns brightly in my mind's eye... like a star that never fades, no matter how distant. The vision of Princess Mipha grasping her Lightscale Trident in the moonlight, a gentle smile upon her face. So lovely! Your breath would catch at the sight of her, as though she were an ethereal being, not flesh and blood. I dearly wish...I could see Princess Mipha standing in the moonlight once more. If only...
— Seggin (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
You showed Seggin a picture of Mipha's statue beneath the moonlight.
— Adventure Log (Tears of the Kingdom)
Seggin was moved by the beauty of that sight and renewed his vow to remain a loyal subject of the Zora royal family no matter what changes the flow of time brings.
