The '''Great Plateau Tower''' is a recurring location in {{TLoZ|Series}}.

The Great Plateau Tower is the first [[Sheikah Tower]] that [[Link]] activates in {{BotW}}. After awakening from the [[Slumber of Restoration]] in the [[Shrine of Resurrection]], [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] instructs him to follow the marker displayed on the [[Sheikah Slate]]'s [[Sheikah Slate#Map|Map]].<ref>{{Cite|... Link... Link. Head for the point marked on the map in your Sheikah Slate.|???|BotW}}</ref> This marker leads Link to a [[Guidance Stone]] in the buried remains of the Great Plateau Tower. By activating the Guidance Stone, Link causes the Tower to rise from the ground,<ref>{{Cite|Sheikah Tower activated.

From atop the Tower, Link can hear Zelda pleading him to remember his mission to destroy [[Ganon]] before her power wanes.<ref>{{Cite|Remember... Try... Try to remember...

The Great Plateau Tower appears as a Stage in {{SSBU}}. The top of the Tower can be destroyed by attacks or fighters bouncing against it, though it will regenerate after a period of time. While the roof of the Great Plateau Tower is destroyed, a platform will appear in its place. The [[Old Man]] from {{BotW}} can be seen [[Paraglider|Paragliding]] in the background of the Stage, and will occasionally glide down onto the Tower.

*In {{SSBU}}, the platform that replaces the roof of the Great Plateau Tower bears text in the [[Sheikah Language]] which says "''SMASHBROS''".
