Not all Skyview Towers in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom require you to brainstorm to activate them. A few usually teach about the usefulness of certain items. The Upland Zorana Skyview Tower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is among those.
To gain access to the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower’s console in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you need to learn how to clear purple sludge in the game, as it will be an important part of the upcoming boss fight in Zora Domain.
In this guide, we will take you through the slippery slopes of Lanayru Wetlands and explain the importance of the Splash Fruit while saving an innocent soul trapped in purple muck.
Upland Zorana Skyview Tower Location in Zelda: TotK
The Upland Zorana Skyview Tower is in the Lanayru region, east of Hyrule Field. The exact location of the tower is to the West of Zora Domain and East of Trilby Valley. The tower’s coordinates on the map are (2857, 0582, 0379).
The Lanayru region experiences a lot of rainfall, making it difficult to climb hills or mountains. We recommend unlocking the Froggy Armor and brewing some Sticky Elixirs.
Alternatively, you can find a time block falling from the sky (marked by its green hue) and use the Recall ability to gain some altitude. This will allow you to reach the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower easily in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Upon reaching the tower, you will notice something strange about its door. A strange purple sludge covers it, and you have no chance to open it. There is a Zora commander nearby. Upon talking to him, a side quest, “Mired in Muck,” will be initiated.
How to activate Upland Zorana Skyview Tower
To open the door of the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the game will first teach you the use of the Splash Fruit. This will be done by completing the Mired in Muck side quest, and we recommend that you do it for a sweet reward.
1. Near the entrance to the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower, you will come across a Zora who is stuck in sludge. His name is Bazz, and he will request Link to wash that muck away with clean water.
2. Look around, and you will find a few Splash Fruits (green-colored fruits shaped like a gourd). These fruits contain a lot of fresh water and can be used in various ways. You can either attach them to your arrows (ZR and D-pad up) or simply throw them at your target (R and D-pad up).
3. Target the Splash Fruit at the sludge around Bazz to free him. You can also drop the fruit on the ground and hit it with a weapon for the same effect.
4. Bazz will thank you for saving him and reward you with a Zora Spear (6 attack power). This will complete the Mired in Muck side quest.
5. The door to the Upland Zorana Tower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is blocked by the same purple sludge that is falling from the sky. Mired in Muck was a tutorial on how to clean sludge, as you will be doing it a lot during Zora Domain’s main quest
6. Clear the sludge on the tower’s door with the help of a Splash Fruit.
7. Interact with the door to enter Upland Zorana Skyview Tower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Activate its console and use the launchpad to scan the map of the Lanayru Region.
8. This will also unlock a fast travel point. You can visit this tower anytime from now on and use it to visit the Lanayru Sky Archipelago.
