Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - The Never-Ending Lecture Guide

Published Jul 15, 2023, 11:40 AM EDT

Renri has been playing the Pokemon series as far back as Ruby/Sapphire and as such, her primary topics for strategy guides and lists usually involve Pokemon. She's also an avid Legend of Zelda fan, and her overall favorite genre is JRPGs due to their (usually) rich story and characters, despite how long they take for her to complete.

Finding all pieces of an armor set in Tears of the Kingdom can be tricky if players aren't speaking to the proper NPCs. Certain side quests will require Link to track down armor pieces, and one of these examples is "The Never-Ending Lecture" in Zora's Domain. Doing this will net players a piece of armor for the Zora Set.

"The Never-Ending Lecture" side quest itself becomes available after the Water Temple, but it's possible to complete it beforehand. For those that want to do things in order, they should focus on completing the Zora arc in Tears of the Kingdom. Waiting for the quest to unlock will make it easier to track down the armor piece, too.

How to Unlock "The Never-Ending Lecture" Side Quest

To get "The Never-Ending Lecture," players will need the Zora Armor, and they'll need to complete the main quest "Sidon of the Zora." They can then find two Zora NPCs in the throne room (3322, 0548, 0163). Alternatively, players can go ahead and complete this side quest before unlocking it as long as they have the Zora Armor.

Speaking to Chroma and Khira will give players a hint as to where one of the Zora Set pieces are located. Unlike the Zora Greaves ("Token of Friendship"), the final piece of the Zora Set, the Zora Helm, is located on the Floating Scales Island.

Chroma and Khira won't give Link a reward for the completion of "The Never-Ending Lecture," but that's okay, since the Zora Helm is worth the effort. If by some chance players already have the Zora Helm when they speak to Chroma and Khira in the throne room, then the quest will be marked complete.

For those that do not have the Zora Helm, they'll need to do the following:

Equip the Zora Armor. This is a required step in "Sidon of the Zora."
Warp to the Ihen-a Shrine at Mipha's Court.
At 3344, 0573, 0485 (near the pool that Sidon was standing in), look towards the waterfall of the sky island facing the southeast. This sky island is the Floating Scale Island, and it's where players had to solve one of "Sidon of the Zora" quest riddles.
With the Zora Armor, jump off from Mipha's Court and glide to the waterfall.
On the Floating Scale Island, stand on the "right fin of the fishtail" (around coordinates: 4136, 0511, 0592). Face the "body" of the island. On the wall, there's some sludge that can be washed away with a Splash Fruit.
Get rid of the sludge to reveal a tunnel that leads inside the Floating Scale Island. At the end of this tunnel is the Zora Helm.

The Zora Helm will increase Link's swim speed and allow him to do a spin attack in water by pressing the X-button. Equip the Zora Armor, Helm, and Greaves for a complete Zora Set. These pieces can then be upgraded to level 2 (as long as two Great Fairies have been "freed") to unlock the armor's Set Bonus, which decreases the stamina used when dashing in water.
