It's been a long journey to the Zora's Domain and you're exhausted from avoiding the Guardians and monsters that wander the plains of Hyrule, but the river and twin towers tell you you're close. Your tired footsteps quicken as you follow the winding path up, the driving rain cooling you down and you feel like things are looking up, but a snarl to your side instantly darkens the mood. Out of the shade of a rocky crevice come a pair of Lizalfos, jabbering at you threateningly. You fumble with the short sword at your belt, as the first leaps towards you, it's callous eyes locked on you as you brace yourself.
But the impact never comes, the monster snatched from the air by a red blur that promptly launches the Lizalfos down the side of the mountain before spinning to face you. The figure reveals themselves as a tall Zora male, their red skin shining in the rain as he gives you a hearty smile, flashing his dazzling sharp teeth at you with a fist raised in greeting.
"Welcome traveler! To the Zora's Domain!
Turning his attention to the second Lizalfos he hurls the silver trident in his hand, his arms and back flexing impressively as he nails the reptile dead center, the trident skewering it to stone behind it before it explodes in a push of black smoke.
"Apologies for a mess, I am Prince Sidon. Welcome! Behold the pride of my people!
He ushers you up the mountain, a strong but reassuring hand on your back.
