Features and Overview

Breath of the Wild

The Wasteland Tower is located in the east Gerudo Highlands. It sits in the middle of a Bottomless Bog on the northernmost peak of Spectacle Rock. To begin climbing the Tower, Link must avoid sinking in the swamp surrounding it by finding a way across. He can do so by Paragliding from above or using Cryonis. Activating the Tower will update Link's Sheikah Slate with a Map of the Wasteland Tower Region, including the eastern section of the Gerudo Highlands and all accessible parts of the Gerudo Desert.

  2. "As the pilots learned how to manipulate the arcane machinery of their Divine Beasts, Purah lead a research expedition to the otherworldly edifice that had appeared on Hyrule Field. This Sheikah Tower was far from the only one of its kind. In fact, such structures were embedded deep in the earth throughout the kingdom, their emergence controlled by a device inside Hyrule Castle. To activate the control device, they would have to bond the Sheikah Slate with a Sheikah Tower. Zelda, Purah, and the Champions set out to do just that." — Narration (Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity)

They had no notion that a shadowy foe was amassing all its might to disrupt their quest. The party headed for Akkala, where the final tower awaited—as did a Yiga Clan ambush." — Narration (Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity)
