The world opens up when you unlock the Skyview Towers in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. You’re then given the Regional Phenomena quest, which provides you with four destinations to choose from. Of course, it’s up to you where to go first, and no barriers will hold you back from visiting them in any order. However, there is an obvious order the game wants you to take.
Should I go to Rito Village, Goron City, Zora’s Domain, or Gerudo Town first in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
You’re given four destinations to visit after unlocking the Skyview Towers in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:
- Rito Village
- Goron City
- Zora’s Domain
- Gerudo Town
If this is your first time playing, you should head to Rito Village first. The game suggests you go this way, and it’s an easier trip and dungeon than the others. However, you can visit these four in any order you desire. There’s also a fifth location that Purah suggests: Kakariko Village. She doesn’t mark it on your map for some reason, but you can find it northwest of the Mount Lanaryu Skyview Tower.
You’re not just limited to these destinations, though. Once you can access the Skyview Towers in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you can go anywhere. You could spend tens of hours in the game just following side quests and exploring without ever visiting the above locations. So, don’t feel pressured to head straight to the next story segment. Get lost in Hyrule and find your own way.
