All Skyview Tower locations and entrances in Tears of the Kingdom – Everything you need to expand your map and explore
TEARS of the Kingdom is the long-awaited sequel to Breath of the Wild that fans have been waiting for.
However, the map is almost three times the size of the original, and quite difficult to explore.
The Skyview Towers will help with this as not only do they open up the map of Hyrule, but the map of the Sky Islands too.
Here’s how to open up all of the Skyview Towers in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Lookout Landing, Central Hyrule
Lookout Landing is the first Skyview Tower you can find, and it should be the first one you use once you land in Hyrule.
You will need to talk to Purah and help out Captain Hoz before you can unlock it, but doing so will also give you the Paraglider.
It’s essential that you unlock this one first as the Paraglider will be indispensable to your quest.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Lindor’s Brow, Hyrule Ridge
Lindor’s Brow is just northwest of Lookout Landing, and likely the second tower you will unlock.
It’s surrounded by a moat, but there is also a number of materials nearby that you can use to form a bridge to help you get inside the tower.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Hyrule Field, Hyrule Field
Another early game tower is Hyrule Field which is just southwest of Lookout Landing.
It’s surrounded by a monster camp so make sure you have enough weapons, or stamina to dodge, before you attempt this one.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Eldin Canyon, Eldin
Up a hill northeast of Lookout Landing, is the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower.
The door to the tower is broken but you can use Ascend to go up and drop down via the open roof.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Upland Zorana, Lanayru
This is up some mountains straight east from Lookout Landing.
Here you will find the tower is covered in sludge and there is a struggling Zora guard nearby.
You can throw Splashfruit to clean it off, but a Hydrant Zonai device works much better.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Mount Lanayru, Lanayru
You can find this Skyview Tower right at the top of Mount Lanaryu.
You will see a lot of wood and flint in the area, which you will need in order to melt the ice surrounding the entrance.
A Zonai Flame Emitter would work even better but isn’t necessary to get inside.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Ulri Mountain, Akkala
To grab this one, you will first have to defeat the Aeurocuda who has stolen the Skyview Tower’s terminal.
You can simply shoot it down with an arrow, and then use the Ultrahand to put the terminal back inside.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Sahasra Slope, Necluda
This one is a little difficult as the door is locked and no one knows why.
If you head down the hill, you will find a cave filled with rocks.
When you break through these you will see an inner chamber and a rock poking through the ceiling.
If you ascend here, it will take you up inside the tower.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Popla Foothills, Faron
The Skyview Tower here is broken, and the engineer to fix it has got lost.
If you head down a cliff to the south, you will see a well and a cave that leads to the underside of the tower.
This is where the engineer is trapped, and you can use the switch here to free him.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Rabella Wetlands, East Necluda
This tower is covered in spiky thorns that make it impossible to get inside.
You can burn them, but it will require a lot of effort as it always rains in this area.
Using the materials nearby you can build a rain shelter to cover the thorns near the door.
Then you can use a Fire Fruit to set fire to the thorns.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Gerudo Canyon, Gerudo Desert
While the engineer for this tower is here, they can’t seem to work the elevator.
You will need to head up the tower and attach some large items to the chain on the end of the lift.
This will pull up the engineer who can then fix the tower for you to use.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Gerudo Highlands, Gerudo Highlands
This tower is snowed in, so you can’t even see the door, making it difficult to get inside.
North of the tower is a cave with Chillshrooms outside that you need to enter.
You can make a raft using the barrels here in order to float down the river.
Place wood between the four wooden pillars and use Ascend to get inside the tower.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Rospro Pass, Hebra
This one is difficult to reach, but simple once you approach it.
Simply burn the thorns around the entrance in order to get inside.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Pikida Stonegrove, Tabantha Tundra
This is another one that’s difficult to get to thanks to the ice dragon that flies around the area.
It’s best to try and climb Hebra Mountain, and then paraglide down to this one.
Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers: Typhlo Ruins, Great Hyrule Forest
The tower north of Hyrule Forest will need you to remove the item blocking the exit at the top.
Use a floating platform and some rockets to get close enough to open it.
