A mysterious “watery bridge” shimmers above Hyrule, hiding a path few players notice. Follow its shifting surface to uncover the route that leads straight into the sky – and to the elusive Land of the Sky Fish.
Where to find the Watery Bridge and Land of the Sky Fish location
After meeting King Dorephan and getting King’s Scales, warp to Ihen-a Shrine in Lanayru and glide toward the nearby sky island with a muddy waterfall pouring from its front. This waterfall is the “watery bridge,” and the island above it, shaped like a fish on your map and labeled Floating Scales Island, is the Land of the Sky Fish. Once you reach the shrine, face east from the surrounding cliffs to spot the island and use falling rocks and Recall or your glider to reach it.
Once you have found King Dorephan in the “Clues to the Sky” quest, teleport to Ihen-a Shrine and glide over to this brown waterfall – the ‘watery bridge’ – flowing from a sky island with the Zora Armor equipped.
This island is the “land of the sky fish” as it resembles a fish in the sky. Wowee. The fish is covered in mud, but you don’t need to rinse it off.
Land of the Sky Fish droplet puzzle solution
At Floating Scales Island, known as the Land of the Sky Fish, position Link at the central high point and face southwest. Green floating stones align into a droplet shape when viewed from this angle. Fuse a King’s Scale to an arrow from King Dorephan, then shoot through the droplet to trigger a green light pillar revealing the watery bridge.
As suggested by the slate that Jiahto reads you, you have to shoot an arrow through a “droplet”. Here’s the clue as a reminder:
To solve this droplet puzzle, facing the southwest while at the top of the fish, you’ll notice some debris that lines up into the shape of a tear, as seen below:
Where is Floating Scales Island in Lanayru Sky Archipelago
Floating Scales Island is a fish-shaped Sky Island located in the Lanayru Sky Archipelago within The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It serves as a key landmark for the “Clues to the Sky” quest, also known as the Land of the Sky Fish.
Exact Coordinates
The island’s central coordinates are approximately (4077, 0536, 0641), with key features like a Zora Helm chest at (4094, 0529, 0587) inside a hidden room. On the Purah Pad sky map, it appears distinctly fish-like when viewed from above, positioned east of Mipha Court and accessible via the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower launch.
How to Reach It
Launch from the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower and glide eastward into the Lanayru Sky Archipelago, using Tulin’s Gust ability or a Zonai wing for precise navigation to its elevated position. Once there, align floating green debris into a droplet shape from the center (facing southwest) and shoot a King’s Scale arrow through it to reveal the Watery Bridge path.
Exact coordinates for Floating Scales Island in TotK
Floating Scales Island in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is centered at coordinates 4073, 0529, 0603 on the Purah Pad map. This spot marks the highest point in the fish-shaped island’s body, ideal for aligning the floating debris droplet puzzle while facing southwest.
Key Landmarks
A Zora Helm chest lies nearby at 4094, 0529, 0587 in a hidden room. The droplet alignment position varies slightly across guides as 4073, 0530, 0604 or 4073, 0528, 0603, but all converge on the island’s core overlooking the fin.
Map Context
View the island on the sky map east of Mipha Court in the Lanayru Sky Archipelago; its fish outline stands out clearly above coordinates around 3960, 0539, 0490 at lower vantage points. Launch from Upland Zorana Skyview Tower for easy glide access.
