In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the explorable world is divided into three layers: the terrain, the depths, and the sky. You'll reach the terrain just by following the story, and you can jump into the depths by way of a chasm whenever you feel like it. But how do you get back up to the sky? That's a bit less obvious, so we've decided to cover it with this Zelda guide for your benefit.

How to get back to the sky in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

You have a few choices for getting back to the Sky Islands, though most of them involve progressing the story further until you have the right device or unlock a certain tower.

Use Skyview Towers

The easiest way is using Skyview Towers to launch yourself into the sky, so you can glide to a nearby island and unlock a shrine for fast travel purposes. The sky map layout means that not every Skyview Tower can actually help you get to an island, though. The Lookout Landing and Hyrule Field towers, for example, are inconveniently placed just out of reach of any island and most small rock masses. Even with upgraded stamina, you’ll still lose too much altitude.
