Zelda TOTK Popla Foothills Skyview Tower: How to activate it
Click to enlargeWhen you reach the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower, you will find it is open but the console isn't working. Nearby, there is a well. Approach it and you will hear someone calling for help. The engineer who is supposed to fix the tower is stuck down there, but thankfully it isn't difficult to get him out.
Go south from the Skyview Tower and drop down from the cliff to the Popla Foothills South Well, where you will find some ruined old houses. At the bottom of the cliff that you just dropped down from, you will find a cave entrance. Head into the Popla Foothills Excavation Site and you will find Elmerson trapped behind a gate.
All you need to do is step onto the large button on the floor to open the gate and free the engineer. He will head straight back to the Skyview Tower to fix it. The quickest and easiest way to return to the tower is to use Ascend from inside the cave. Once you are back up beside the tower, activate it and unlock another chunk of the map.
