Follow this guide to complete The Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Learn how to find and activate all four faucets to progress.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After interacting with the statue, the Water Temple activates. Four faucets need to be turned on by spinning water wheels.
  2. 2
    1st Faucet: Go to the bottom left island. Defeat the Constructs by knocking them into ponds. Use Sidon's Water Fruit power to clear gunk from a bubble machine. Grab the orb from the pond and place it in the bubble machine so it floats up. Ride the bubble to the next island. Use Ultrahand to attach a Hover Stone to a lever across from the waterfall. Pull the lever all the way up to drain the pond. Place the orb in its holder to open the gate to the first water wheel. Use Sidon's power to turn the wheel and activate the faucet.
  3. 3
    2nd Faucet: From the first water wheel island, look towards the center temple. Descend the stairs and use Sidon's power to shield yourself from flames blocking a door. Inside, slam down on a switch to extinguish flames and let Sidon in. The water wheel is behind a gate. Use Ultrahand to build a bridge over a spike pit to retrieve an orb. Use Ultrahand to place the orb on Hover Stones and cross back. Hold the orb in its holder for a few seconds, then use Rewind as it moves back into the holder to open the gate. Activate the second water wheel.
  4. 4
    3rd Faucet: Travel to the right side of the temple. Use a bubble machine to ride up to the nearest island. A Flame Like will be present. Use Rewind on an upside-down bubble machine to ride it up to the island with the next water wheel. The gate is sealed. In a hole near an outer water wheel, place two stone pieces on the wheel's ends and use Ultrahand to move it until a stone touches a waterfall, activating the outer wheel. Use Ultrahand to place a bubble from a machine behind a gap in the walls to open the gate to the water wheel. Activate it.
  5. 5
    4th Faucet: Go to the end of the island with the third water wheel. Ride a bubble to the last island. Defeat the Constructs. Use Hover Stones to climb the rapidly spinning tower. Equip an arrow with a Water Fruit or use Sidon's power. Climb above the tower, slow time, and shoot the opening twice: once with water to clean the switch, and then with a normal arrow to activate it and open the gate to the final water wheel.
  6. 6
    Return to the center of the Water Temple and interact with the statue to reveal the boss, Mucktorok.
Tips
  • Knock Constructs into ponds to defeat them easily.
  • Use Sidon's water shield to pass through flames.
  • Hover Stones can be used to create bridges or reach higher areas.
  • Rewind can be used on moving objects, like bubbles or orbs, to solve puzzles.
  • The final water wheel requires precise aiming with a Water Fruit arrow or Sidon's power.
