Of all the species in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Zora are my favorite. So, I beelined to save them and ran into my old friend, Sidon. This led me on a quest, but the riddle given left me stumped for a bit. After some time, I discovered how to solve the Watery Bridge and am here to help you solve it, too, so you won't be like me and run back and forth on the bridge leading to Zora Domain.
How to Solve Sidon of the Zora in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (TotK)
The Sidon of the Zora Main Quest has you searching for clues about the Watery Bridge. This is one part of the quest in the Zora domain that will lead to clearing up the sludge in this area. You need to find a fish island and fire an arrow through a drop.
Floating Scales Island is in the sky east of Mipha Court and Sidon's location. Look for the island with the muddy waterfall coming down. You have a few options to get to this island. You can use the Zora Armor to climb the waterfall, use Rewind on a fallen piece of sky island, or build a device to reach the island. There are parts nearby that can build a sky vehicle to reach the island.

Once on Floating Scales Island, go to the top portion. Look to the southwest and find the floating pieces that look like a not fully formed teardrop. Use Fuse to attach a King Scale to an arrow and fire it through the teardrop. Return to Sidon. During your conversation, the Sludge Like boss will appear. Defeat this and join Sidon at the East Reservoir Lake at the beam of light.
