The Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower is likely one of the first that you'll encounter in The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, and for being such an early tower, it presents a tricky problem that might be hard to solve even for some more experienced players.

The issue is that this tower asks you to use perhaps the most underrated ability in Link's arsenal, Recall, and does so in a way that not many players expect. If you're having trouble getting into the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower, here's how you can find it and how you can get inside.

Finding The Tower

The location of the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower.

The Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower is located almost directly to the east of Hyrule Castle, sitting atop some foothills nearby the Woodland Stable.

While this tower is easy to spot, it's not so easy to reach it. The cliffs leading up to it can be hard to climb without any stamina upgrades, so be prepared to get creative while you make your way up the rocky slopes.

Unlocking The Tower

The Sky Islands surrounding the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower.

When you first arrive at this tower, you'll find a closed door with a worker standing nearby. If you talk to him, he'll explain that the tower door is jammed shut but that activating the console inside should fix it. The only way to get in is to fall at the very top of the tower.

Your first instinct (and it's a good one) will likely be to try climbing to the top. While this can work, it's far from the easiest way to do it. All the way up, you'll have to carefully manage your stamina and stop on razor-thin ledges to rest. One slip, and you'll have to try it all again.

Link uses Recall on a stone block near the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower.

Instead, you can try out one of the core abilities, Recall. Above the tower, there are three low-hanging sky islands that consistently drop pieces of ruins. These pieces can be recalled on the ground, and doing so turns them into a sort of elevator that you can ride into the sky.

To do this yourself, just look up, spot a falling stone, go where it landed, and use Recall while standing on top of it. Once you're at the height of the stone's path, jump off and paraglide safely into the tower.
