The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has a vast open world to explore, but if you want to uncover the map, you’ll need to locate and activate all of the Skyview Towers in Hyrule!
This is a lot easier said than done, however, as the towers are spread across the map, and there is almost always something stopping you from easily activating them.
There are a total of 15 Skyview Towers in Tears of the Kingdom, with at least one in each region:
- Hyrule
- Lookout Landing
- Hyrule Field
- Lindor’s Brow
- Thyphlo Ruins
- Hebra
- Rospro Pass
- Pikida Stonegrove
- Gerudo
- Gerudo Highlands
- Gerudo Canyon
- Eldin
- Eldin Canyon
- Akkala
- Ulri Mountain
- Lanayru
- Upland Zorana
- Mount Lanayru
- Necluda
- Sahasra Slope
- Popla Foothills
- Rabella Wetlands
Map of All Skyview Towers in TOTK
The map below shows the locations of all 15 Skyview towers in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:
Unlike Breath of the Wild’s Sheikah Towers, you don’t actually have to climb the Skyview Towers in Tears of the Kingdom. Instead, you must get inside the base of the tower and activate the pedestal by pressing the A button.
Then, you can step on the circle on the floor and press A once again. This will shoot you up into the sky where you can use your handy paraglider to help you land safely.
Once a Skyview Tower is activated, it will reveal an area of the map and will also act as a point that you can fast travel to!
