The Sludge-Covered Statue Strategy
Use Water Type Weapons To Remove Sludge

Zora's Domain is covered in a lot of sludge, if you try to walk on it, your progress will be very slow. You can clear away the sludges by using Water-elemental Attacks, which allows you to move more easily.

Gather Water Fruits

Gather as many Water Fruits as possible. While it is possible to substitute with other water-elemental weapons, it would be a waste to fill up equipment slots with water-elemental weapons due to the frequent need for Sludge removal.
