Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom towers
The Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom towers are much like the ones found in Breath of the Wild, but there are a few crucial differences. You might spot them and their spotlights far in the distance as you soar the skies, and it’s definitely worth your time to locate them all. So grab your paraglider, mount your horse, and let’s get exploring.
Just before we activate this guide, leap into the air, and soar through the skies of knowledge, be sure to check out our huge array of fantastic content. We have guides explaining Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom crystallized charges, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Zonai, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom enemies, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fusion, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom geoglyphs, and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom bubbul gems.
Let’s dive into our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom towers guide.
How many Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom towers are there?
There are 15 Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom towers, including the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Lookout Landing tower, which you unlock as part of the first story quest at the beginning of the game.
What happened to the Sheikah towers in Tears of the Kingdom?
While the pair don’t explicitly state it, dialogue from Purah and Robbie in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Lookout Landing hints towards them dismantling the Sheikah technology – including the towers – and retrofitting it into their own designs. The Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom towers possess the same blue light that Sheikah tower technology uses in Breath of the Wild, and when activating a tower, Guardian legs grab Link to thrust him skyward.
Many of the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom towers appear in different locations, so it’s clear that the old ones are either completely dismantled, or they retreated back into the ground once Calamity Ganon was vanquished. The Sheikah technology exists to help destroy Ganon, so it’s possible that it all goes dormant again when you finally vanquish the Demon King in Breath of the Wild.
What are the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom tower locations?
We are working on this guide as we explore The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, so check back soon for explanations on all 15 towers and how to unlock them. Below is every tower we have found, its location, and any unlock requirements.
Lookout Landing tower
- Co-ordinates: -0293, 0137, 0025
You unlock the Lookout Landing tower as part of the main story quest, shortly after landing on the surface of Hyrule. When on the ground, head towards the visible tower and interact with Purah. Once you complete her mission, the Lookout Landing tower is available to use.
Sahasra Slope tower
- Co-ordinates: 1344, -1169, 0166
The Sahasra Slope tower is locked, and you cannot walk in through the main entrance. Instead, you must ascend from the cave beneath the tower. If you have trouble finding the cave, outside the tower, find and shoot the blupee, and it runs towards the cave entrance. From here, just explore the cave, and ascend at the part where a round portion of the rock ceiling clearly protrudes outwards.
Rabella Wetlands tower
- Co-ordinates: 2419, -2762, -0222
When you approach the Rabella Wetlands tower, you find it surrounded by spiked plants. However, it’s raining constantly, so you cannot easily light the spiked plants on fire. To overcome this, you need to use ultrahand to grab nearby planks, and create a roof over the spiked plants by combining plenty of the planks. Then, shoot an arrow with a fire plant, a bomb, or a similar fire-inducing material to set the spiked plants on fire and open the tower.
Rospro Pass tower
- Co-ordinates: -3687, 2341, 0233
Spiked plants cover the entrance to Rospro Tower, but it’s still very easy to access. Either climb high enough and glide onto the entrance of the tower or use fire-infused materials to set the spiked plants on fire. A nice easy tower.
Eldin Canyon tower
- Co-ordinates: 1636, 1182, 0225
The Eldin Canyon tower is locked, and you cannot ascend from underneath, either. However, the top of the tower is open, so you must enter from above. Either climb high enough that you can glide in, or build a Zonai construct with rockets, balloons, or similar objects, and use that to reach the exposed entrance at the top of the tower. Alternatively, you can try and glide in from a nearby sky island.
That’s all the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom towers we have for today, but check back soon as we fill this guide with every single one. For even more great Zelda content, be sure to check out our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom shrines and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom koroks guides next.
