#skyview tower

Linktober Day 14, akkala skyview tower!

Part of the duo’s jobs as Purah’s interns are to help with the remapping project of Hyrule after the Upheaval. Link’s the only little man sturdy enough to WANT to be flung out of a modified human canon attached to a cable, I think. (Introducing part of the research team! We have Jerrin, a hylian-sheikah researcher; bilson, a rito bolson employee; and truckson, a tarry town goron.)

Want to see more of my TOTK AU where zelda doesnt go back in time? Check out this master post:

Today's options for funding are:

The Samasa Plain Canal: This will connect the Rutala River to the Lanayru Bay, allowing ocean trade.

The Monster Control Crew: This non-profit group goes to locations that have been overrun by monsters and clears them out. They also defend our villages.

The Hudson Railroad Company: This branch of Hudson Construction is working on a transportation system across Hyrule that is accessible by anyone.

Skyview Tower Maintenance: This will repair the Skyview Towers and keep them functional for our maps.

Something I feel was missing in Tears of the Kingdom? Perhaps a more meaningful overworld...

In an older 3D Zelda game like Ocarina of Time, you would come to find that many locations in the world are locked or inaccessible. But there is also a sense of wonder attributed to these experiences... They do not necessarily frustrate the player as obstacles intended to tease, but instead invite the player to anticipate something that eventually will be made accessible as the game progresses:

You trace a river to locate its source, leading you to a new area apart from the mainland. But the pathway has been blocked off by a barricade of rocks… You acknowledge the need for something to break the rocks, which also becomes available once Link eventually is led to discover the bomb bag.

You discover a mysterious entrance in the woods, taking the shape of an elevated portico. But the perron leading up to it has been broken off from its base… You acknowledge that this place must bear some kind of significance, and you will eventually be led to return to the site after traveling to the future.

You shoot an arrow towards the morning sun, and a brilliant treasure descends from the sky. But the platform it lands on cannot be reached, standing amidst the crater of a drained lake… You acknowledge the need for a body of water to swim across, while clearing the Water Temple consequently restores the lake to its former state.

Today's options for funding are:

Shadow Hamlet Factory: This factory will be built in the Shadow Hamlet Ruins. It will mine into Death Mountain, which is rich in raw materials and precious gemstones. This will also provide jobs to people in the surrounding area.

Skyview Tower Maintenance: This will repair the Skyview Towers and keep them functional for our maps.

The High Temporal Guard: The Parliament has decided that Time magic is the most powerful, and ergo most dangerous, type of magic. Because of this, the High Temporal Guard is being formed, where Time magic users will be trained and deployed across Hyrule to deal with various threats. They will also be used as a private protection service.

The Samasa Plain Canal: This will connect the Rutala River to the Lanayru Bay, allowing ocean trade.

Today's options for funding are:

Rebuilding the Kolomo Garrison Ruins: This will be rebuilding one of our historic ruins, which will allow our Hyrule Warriors to use them again.

Alternate Teleportation System Research: There have been various complaints and concerns about the current teleportation system of disintegration, so this money will go towards research of making an alternate system of teleportation. Beth Unico is one of the leading researchers on this project, so if you have any questions, you should ask him. @beth-unico-offical
