This is a pretty simple task, and it’ll indicate how to get rid of sludge in Zora’s Domain from now on: just use water.

In order to get water for this task, you could possibly use a Hydrant Zonai Device, if you happen to have a capsules containing one in your inventory. If not, you can also throw a Splashfruit at the statue, and this also works just as effectively.

If you don’t have either of those, then you should check the nearby rivers and hills for Splashfruit growing nearby. Once complete, you’ll start the Sidon of the Zora quest that will lead you to the Water Temple.

The next quest is this chain is Restoring the Zora Armor.
