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.

ItemDetails
GiverFronk in Zora’s Domain, near the main approach — Zora’s Domain reference
PrerequisiteComplete Sidon of the Zora / Water Temple
DestinationWellspring Island; use Igoshon Shrine on the map as your travel reference
Search areaThe smaller island with a pond southeast of Igoshon Shrine
RewardHearty 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.

Link receiving the Zora Armor from Yona
The Zora Armor enables waterfall swimming on the route to Wellspring Island.

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?

  1. Start the quest with Fronk and select it in the Adventure Log.
  2. Travel to Wellspring Island and search the pond area southeast of Igoshon Shrine.
  3. Approach Mei beside the water and speak to her. She has become absorbed in catching the island’s fish.
  4. Tell her that Fronk is worried. She leaves for Zora’s Domain; you do not need to carry her or build a passenger vehicle.
  5. 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.

Returning to Fronk with Mei earns a Hearty Fish Skewer.

Other local tasks include The Blue Stone, True Treasure and A Token of Friendship. Use the side-quest list for the wider region.

FAQ

Is Mei downstream like in Breath of the Wild?
No. This Tears of the Kingdom quest sends you to a sky island above Zora’s Domain, in the Wellspring Island area.
Where should I search after teleporting to Igoshon Shrine?
Explore the smaller islands to the southeast and look beside the pond for Mei fishing. You do not need to enter the shrine or the Water Temple.
Do I have to catch fish for Mei?
No. Talk to her and explain that Fronk is worried. She heads home through the quest sequence.
Why is the quest still active after I find Mei?
Return to Fronk in Zora’s Domain and finish the reunion dialogue to receive the reward and close the quest.
