Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Tower locations - How to reveal the map

Revealing the map in Tears of the Kingdom is as simple as activating every Skyview Tower - except that's quite difficult...

Skyview Towers are a vital part of navigating the continent of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Not only do they fire Link into the air, enabling exploration of both the sky and the far-flung places you can glide to, but they also reveal large portions of the world map too.

Finding your way around the map becomes so much easier once it's fully revealed, so it’s not a bad idea to tour the world and activate all of the Skyview Towers almost immediately in Tears of the Kingdom.

But to do that, you need to know where they are first. Below is a list of every Skyview Tower location in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as well as some more information on revealing the map.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom still has weapon durability, but you won't care.

How do Skyview Towers reveal the map in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

To reveal the full world map in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you need to activate all of the Skyview Towers.

Most of them have a brief puzzle at their base before you can use them, but it’s very possible to complete them all right at the beginning of your adventure.

A trick for revealing the full map quickly is to climb one Skyview Tower and shoot Link into the air. Next, as you plummet back down to the ground, look for the top of another Skyview Tower nearby.

Use your glider to make your way over there, avoiding most of the obstacles that would usually be in your way.

Using this technique to ride the boost from one Skyview Tower to the next one can carry you all the way around the map relatively easily. The only thing you really need is the right clothing or food to survive the unbearable cold in snowy areas of the map.
