Aside from the main story, there are plenty of side quests for players in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Side quests are typically shorter missions ending in rewards like Rupees, weapons, and other resources like cooked meals or elixirs.
A Wife Wafted Away is a side quest players can pick up during their time in the Zora Domain. It features a concerned Zora looking for his elusive wife named Mei, who is seemingly nowhere to be found around the area. So, this guide covers where to find Mei and complete the side quest to earn a special cooked meal in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
A Wife Wafted Away Location
Players must first have started the Regional Phenomena and Sidon of the Zora main story quests to unlock A Wife Wafted Away. The Zora Domain is in Hyrule's far east region, next to the Lanayru Sea. Unlocking the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower reveals its position on the map.
Once players get to the domain and investigate the purple sludge infecting the waters, they will eventually run into a Zora named Fronk hanging out on the bridge in front of Sidon and Link's statue (3289, 0440, 0139). Players must talk to Fronk to start A Wife Wafted Away.

Fronk worries about his wife Mei, who has been missing, and asks players to help him find her. He doesn't know much about her location, but he last saw her on the eastern bridge singing about going to a floating place.
The floating place she was referring to is one of the many Sky Islands above Zora's Domain. Specifically, one that is near the Water Temple that is discovered during the Sidon of the Zora quest.
Mei is on the Wellspring Islands, just south of the Water Temple. The quickest way to get there is to fast travel to the Water Temple or one of the nearby shrines, but players can use the waterfalls while wearing the Zora armor to get to the Sky Islands.
Players will find Mei standing before a small pool (3669, 0569, 1251) fishing for Hyrule Bass. However, she immediately leaves to talk to Fronk after Link tells her he is worried. Then, to finish the side quest, players must return to Fronk's location in the Zora Domain.
The couple will reunite and thank Link for all his help by gifting him a Hearty Bass Meal.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
