The Sheikah Towers were constructed by the ancient [[Sheikah]] of [[Hyrule]] over 10,000 years ago. Buried beneath the earth, they had long since been forgotten by the people of Hyrule until Link discovered the top of the tower in the [[Great Plateau]] - which had been unearthed in the attack of [[Calamity Ganon]] 100 years earlier. After having activated the tower using his [[Sheikah Slate]], the buried tower upon which he stood, along with the other towers across Hyrule, suddenly rose from the earth. | The Sheikah Towers were constructed by the ancient [[Sheikah]] of [[Hyrule]] over 10,000 years ago.

Holding the Sheikah Slate to the Guidance | Holding the Sheikah Slate to the [[Guidance Stone]]s at the top of each tower causes the stone to then scan the landscape of the region of Hyrule in which it is located. This data is then condensed and transferred to the Sheikah Slate, allowing Link to view a geographical map of the region at will. After clearing the [[Great Plateau]], the activation of other Towers is entirely optional. | ||
Unlike other climbable surfaces in the game, due to their mesh exterior, Sheikah Towers do not cause Link to slip when climbing them whenever it's raining. This also makes them the only Sheikah-made buildings Link can climb. The different Towers have a variable number of balconies with covering parapets in which Link can rest upon during his climbs up the towers, and some may be covered in thorns or surrounded by [[Malice]]. | |||

The activation of the towers after the [[Great Plateau Tower]] bears no consequence on the activation of [[Shrine of Trials|Shrines]] as they were all powered on by the signal sent from the Great Plateau Tower to Hyrule Castle, which was then relayed around Hyrule. | The activation of the towers after the [[Great Plateau Tower]] bears no consequence on the activation of [[Shrine of Trials|Shrines]] as they were all powered on by the signal sent from the Great Plateau Tower to Hyrule Castle, which was then relayed around Hyrule. | ||
Contrary to [[Shrine of Trials|Shrines]] where only activation is necessary, the towers have to be climbed and activated for their [[Travel Gate]]s to work. As such, when detected by the Sheikah Slate, the tower's icon in the map will be orange, and will turn blue upon activation. | |||

It should be noted that Tower Regions may not cover the entirety of the Provinces they're in, or may include locations that are part of other regions. For instance, [[Mount Lanayru]] is not part of the [[Lanayru Tower]] regional map, in spite of being part of the Lanayru Province, and the [[Lake Tower]] regional map has a significant portion of the [[Faron (Breath of the Wild)|Faron Province]], the rest of which is covered by the [[Faron Tower]] regional map. | |||
