The Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower is an example of the latter, as players will arrive to find that the doors to the tower stopped working after a large chunk of ruins fell from the sky. In order to get inside the tower,The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayers will need to climb up the outside, which is a lot easier said than done.
Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower Location
As the name suggests, the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower can be found in Eldin Canyon, which is to the northeast of Lookout Landing. In order to get there, players will need to climb the surrounding mountains oruse a Zonai devicein order to reach the location from above. As with other Skyview Towers inTears of the Kingdom, it can be seen from all around, making it very difficult to miss. For anyone having trouble though, the coordinates for the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower are 1636, 1183, 0226.
How to Climb the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower
Upon their arrival at the tower, players should speak with Sawson: the man by the entrance. He’ll explain that a large boulder fell from the sky and damaged the tower, preventing the doors from opening. Thankfully, the boulder also knocked the lid off the top of the tower, meaning that if players can climb up to the top of it, they should be able to drop down from above and use the terminal to open the doors.
Climbing the Eldin Canyon Tower can be a little tricky, particularly for those who haven’t beenupgrading Link’s stamina. However, with a good strategy, it’s possible to find resting spots at certain points on the tower, the first of which can be accessed by climbing the tower from the front and standing behind the wooden beam above the entrance. They’ll then be able to catch a breather on the beam above the yellow lanterns, though may need to jump in order to get on top of it.
From here, things get a little simpler, as the next ledge that players come to is considerably wider and can be easily reached from the previous spot, providing, that is, that players don’t waste stamina by jumping. From this ledge, it’s a straight shot to the top of the tower, though those with the default amount of stamina may need to jump when they reach the end of the netting in order to make it to the summit.
Once at the top of the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower, players will simply need to drop down the hole. However, it’s important that they’re ready topress the X button to open up Link’s Paraglider, as failing to do so before reaching the bottom will lead to Link’s death. When they land, players can interact with the terminal to open the door and then press A while standing on the launch pad to activate the tower. After being blasted up into the air, Link will scan his surroundings with the Purah Pad and the map will be updated.
