Ancient Zora Waterworks walkthrough
After dropping down the whirlpool, climb up the stairs ahead. Then jump down to the surface below. Proceed ahead to the other end and use a fire weapon ( Bomb Flower) to destroy the ice blocking the pipe as shown in the picture below. This will get the water flowing and fill the area with water. Now climb the stairs ahead.
Continue straight ahead to reach the main area. There you will see a big tower with a device at the top. You need to fill this area with water to reach the top. For this, you will have to unclog three pipes. The first pipe is on the left side as shown in the picture below. Destroy the ice with a fire weapon. This will make the water level rise up.
Now swim the stairs and climb up as shown in the picture below. Use the Ultrahand ability to attach the planks there and use them to reach the pipe as shown in the second picture below. Destroy the ice blocking the pipe with a fire weapon. This will make the water level rise up.
Now make your way to the third pipe as shown in the picture below. Then jump inside the tunnel underneath the pipe as shown in the second picture below.
Go straight inside the tunnel. Take right and then take left to reach the area with streams of water falling down as shown in the picture below. Use ascend here to reach the clogged pipe as shown in the second picture below. Destroy the ice blocking the pipe with a fire weapon. This will make the water level rise up to the top.
Climb up the ladder inside the pipe. Then proceed ahead and pull the lever to open the iron gate. Jump down into the water and make your way to the green light as shown in the picture below. Activating the device starts a waterfall from the ruins high above. After a cutscene, you reach the waterfall. Climb up the waterfall while wearing the Zora Armor to reach Wellspring Island.
