You were heading to Zora's Domain. You didn't know they weren't really needing visitors at the moment, as, Calamity Gannon was corrupting the world. So when you went to the throne room, Prince Sidon of the Zoras, immediately noticed and spoke.

"I apologize. But we aren't accepting visitors at this time. Allow me to escort you out."

He paused.

Wait, are you a hylian? I've been looking for one! Please, listen to my father!"

He said, bringing you up front to his father's eyes.
