TotK A Wife Wafted Away: Find Mei on Wellspring Island
Find Mei for Fronk in Tears of the Kingdom. Search the ponds on Wellspring Island after Sidon’s quest, then return to Zora’s Domain for the reward.
Where has Mei gone?
Mei is fishing on Wellspring Island in the sky. A Wife Wafted Away in Tears of the Kingdom is not the same search as the similarly themed quest in Breath of the Wild. Start with Fronk in Zora’s Domain after completing Sidon of the Zora, then search above the domain.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Giver | Fronk in Zora’s Domain, near the main approach — Zora’s Domain reference |
| Prerequisite | Complete Sidon of the Zora / Water Temple |
| Destination | Wellspring Island; use Igoshon Shrine on the map as your travel reference |
| Search area | The smaller island with a pond southeast of Igoshon Shrine |
| Reward | Hearty Fish Skewer after returning to Fronk |
Fronk’s clue mentions a floating place and the bridge east of the domain. The important deduction is to look in the sky, rather than tracing the surface river all the way toward the sea.
How do you reach the right sky island?
If you activated Igoshon Shrine during the main story, teleport there and look southeast toward the smaller islands and their ponds. If you need to retrace the ascent, use the Wellspring Island route from the Water Temple quest, with the Zora Armor for swimming up waterfalls.
The armor in the picture is a travel tool, not this side quest’s reward. Keep the chest piece equipped when using a waterfall; wearing only another part of the Zora set does not grant waterfall swimming.
What do you do when you find Mei?
- Start the quest with Fronk and select it in the Adventure Log.
- Travel to Wellspring Island and search the pond area southeast of Igoshon Shrine.
- Approach Mei beside the water and speak to her. She has become absorbed in catching the island’s fish.
- Tell her that Fronk is worried. She leaves for Zora’s Domain; you do not need to carry her or build a passenger vehicle.
- Return to Fronk in the domain and finish the reunion conversation.
There is no fish delivery requirement. Catching fish from the pond may be useful for your own cooking, but it does not replace speaking with Mei.
What if you cannot find her?
First confirm that A Wife Wafted Away is active and that the regional main quest is complete. Next check the map layer: the destination is the Wellspring Island sky area, not a pond on the surface below it. Search outside the shrine and temple, near the water on the smaller island.
If you have already spoken to her, she may have returned home. Check Fronk again instead of continuing to search the sky.
What is the reward?
The reunion awards a Hearty Fish Skewer. The quest is finished by returning to Fronk, not merely by locating Mei.
Other local tasks include The Blue Stone, True Treasure and A Token of Friendship. Use the side-quest list for the wider region.
