The Popla Foothills Skyview Tower is in the West Necluda region, southwest of Kakariko Village. It is to the Southeast of Hyrule Field Skyview Tower and Lookout Landing.
The exact coordinates for the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are (0602, -2115, 0097).
Approaching this tower is surprisingly easy, but as expected of Skyview Towers in Totk, there is a twist ahead. You will be unable to unlock the Popla Foothills tower right away as it is non-functional.
How to Activate the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower
Popla Foothills Skyview Towers can be accessed directly in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as there are hurdles in the path. However, once you reach the tower, its lights will be dimmed, and you can’t access its door.
This is where you need the help of a boy named Elmerson, who can fix the tower.
1. Go to the back of the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower (north) and drop down from the ledge.
2. Glide to reach the construction site safely, where you will notice a Bubbul Rabbit. Follow the rabbit to enter the Popla Foothills Excavation Site (0607, -2213, 0052).
3. Go straight forward from the entrance to locate Elmerson trapped in a cage near a treasure chest. Apparently, he got greedy and got himself caught in trouble.
4. Stand on the pressure plate (0587, -2130, 0052) in front of the cell door to unlock. He will thank you with a purple coin (50 rupees) and return to fix the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower.
5. Use the Ascend ability from the same position, and you will emerge near the tower.
6. It is now functional and can be accessed. Enter the tower and interact with its console to activate it and unlock a fast travel point.
7. Use the tower’s launchpad to get airborne and unlock the map of West Necluda. This will complete the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and now you can access it anytime you want to reach West Necluda Sky Archipelago.
