All Sheikah Tower Locations – The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Sheikah Towers are a pretty important part of your adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. With each one that you discover, you’ll fill in an additional part of your map of Hyrule. This is particularly useful for getting around in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, so we advise you get visiting them as soon as you’re strong enough to save the dangers of the wild.
Once you reach a Sheikah Tower, you’ll need to climb to the top to scan the surrounding area with your Sheikah Slate. There are 15 Sheikah Towers to scale in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and we’ve got each and every one of their locations below.
Great Plateau Sheikah Tower: This is the simplest tower to unlock as it’s part of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s tutorial. In fact, you can’t progress anywhere in the game until you’ve scaled it. Simple.
Dueling Peaks Sheikah Tower: For this one, you’ll need to follow the road from the Great Plateau to Kakariko Village and look out for the Dueling Peaks. Just before these, you should see the Sheikah Tower. You’ll need to climb and swim to get there, but don’t worry, it’s easy to reach the top as long as you use the ledges to rest and refill your stamina.
Hateno Sheikah Tower: Head to Hateno Village and then head West out of town. This Sheikah Tower is just off this path and will require a simple spot of climbing to reach the top.

Lanaryu Sheikah Tower: From Kakariko Village, head North and keep looking out for a bridge. It’s the one you’ll meet the Zoran Prince Sidon on in the story, if you’ve reached this far. Right next to this bridge is the Sheikah Tower, which also happens to be a piece of cake to scale.
Akkala Sheikah Tower: Once you’ve discovered Zora’s Domain in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, make your way North. You’ll need to make sure you’ve got some warm clothing for Link, otherwise, he’ll start taking damage from the cold. Once you’ve reached the foot of the tower, clear the blue Boboblins here and make sure not to just scale the bottom of the tower as it’s mostly covered in harmful calamity goop.
Instead, use your paraglider to fly just over the goop, allowing you to continue your ascent. Alternatively, there is one side of the Sheikah Tower not covered in the goop, so make sure you climb here if you don’t paraglide.
Eldin Sheikah Tower: From the Akkala Tower that we’ve already unlocked, head West and make your way towards Death Mountain. You’ll want to try and approach this tower from the South, as it’s situated right on the line between the scorching hot climate of the mountain, and the standard temperature of the world. Once you’ve successfully reached the Sheikah Tower without melting, the climb is relatively straightforward and shouldn’t cause you any issues.

Woodland Sheikah Tower: Continuing on West from the Eldin Sheikah Tower we just unlocked, keep going until you’re directly North of Crenel Hills.
This area has been flooded and is also filled with enemies, so use the remains of the nearby fortifications to get up close to the tower. If you get spotted, keep your distance from the enemies and use your bow to eliminate them with a couple of headshots.
Make your way around the tower until you find a raised platform. Kill or sneak past the sleeping Moblin and climb up to the level above. You can now paraglide across to the Woodland Sheikah Tower, and take the simple climb up the rest of the way.
Hebra Sheikah Tower: Make your way to the Great Hyrule Forest on the West side of the map and continue heading West. The Hebra Tower is located between the forest and Rito Village in the Tabantha Tundra. Of course, this tundra is also incredibly cold, so you’ll need to make sure Link is wrapped up warm with the Snowquill gear otherwise you’ll freeze… and nobody wants that.
Once you’ve reached the foot of the tower, use a fire arrow to melt the ice and climb your way to the top.
Tabantha Sheikah Tower: Make your way to the nearby Rito village from the last Sheikah Tower and head South. Look out for Hyrule Ridge on your map (if you’ve discovered it) as you’ll want to head South until you are directly West from here.
Once you’re here, you’ll find columns which you can use to make your way to the top. Start off with the one to the Southwest of the Tabantha Tower and then shoot the eyeball in the Northern column with an arrow.
Shooting this eyeball will cause the calamity goop from the bottom of the northern column to disappear, causing the column to fall into the side of the tower. Climb up the northern column and climb the rest of the way up the side of the tower to get this one.

Gerudo Sheikah Tower: From the Tabantha Tower, head South as if you were heading to Gerudo Town. On your way, you should find this Sheikah Tower next to a ton of cliffs. You’ll need to use these surrounding cliffs to paraglide over to the top of this tower.
Wastelands Sheikah Tower: The Wastelands Sheikah Tower is a bit more of a puzzle than the other ones we’ve scaled so far. First off, head East from Gerudo Town and make your way to the Gerudo Desert Gateway. You’ll eventually reach the Gerudo Canyon which will open out into the desert. You’ll find this Sheikah Tower here, but you’ll soon notice there is a ton of harmful tar protecting the base.
Use your Magnesis power to move one of the metal boxes to the side of the tower with three stone slabs. Drop the box into the tar, and then use Stasis to freeze time on the box. Climb onto the box and then use the slabs to make your way to the tower without falling in the tar.
Ridgeland Sheikah Tower: For this Sheikah Tower, lead Hyrule Castle and take the road West out into the world. Cross the bridge over the river and when you reach the end of this road where you can turn either left or right, you should see the tower directly in front of you.
Unfortunately, it’s in the middle of a lake, that is also inhabited by Electric Wizzrobes. Take care of these first, as they’ll follow you up the tower if you try to climb away. Once they’re done, use the small islands dotted in the lake to refill your stamina and swim on over.

Central Sheikah Tower: For the Central Sheikah Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, head directly South out of Hyrule Castle and midway down Hyrule Field over to the west you’ll find this tower.
This one is guarded by some Guardian Scouts, and while you can definitely stealth climb your way to the top, it’s risky as one shot from them will see your hurtling to the ground. Eliminate the Guardian Scouts and begin your easy climb to the top.
Lake Sheikah Tower: As you may have guessed from the name, this Sheikah Tower is nearby Lake Hylia – just South, to be precise. This one doesn’t require you to complete any puzzles, or defeat any enemies. Just climb your way up once you’ve found it.
Faron Sheikah Tower: The final Sheikah Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is actually relatively nearby the Lake tower we just grabbed. Follow the path across the bridge over Lake Hylia, and follow it East through the dense jungle area. Keep following this path around the long bend and take the left route when the path splits. Just a bit further along, you should see a river on your left-hand side with an Electric Wizzrobe lurking. Take care of the Wizzrobe and climb your way to the top.
Congratulations, you’ve now scaled all the Sheikah Tower locations in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and have fully uncovered its map.
