However, it’s worth noting that you must complete The Closed Door main story quest in the game before meeting the Rauru in the Temple of Time. The quest requires you to complete three shrines: Ukouh, In-isa, and the Gutanbac.

After accomplishing the quest and meeting Rauru, it’s time to visit the Lookout Landing Skyview Tower in front of the Hyrule Castle to unlock the first fast travel point in Hyrule.

You can only fast travel to shrines that you have completed and tagged by touching the green glyph at the entrance. You can find shrines all over the game world, both on the surface and in the sky. Some shrines are hidden or require special conditions to access, so keep an eye out for clues and secrets.

On the other hand, you can only fast travel to Skyview Towers that you have activated by interacting with their terminals. You can find Skyview Towers on both the surface and in the sky. Some towers are guarded by enemies or puzzles, so be prepared for a challenge.
