Finding out how to unlock Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom can prove tricky. In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you'll be encountering Skyview Towers which were initially towers that had the purpose of revealing sections of Hyrule's map.
One of these towers is the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower which is one of the most challenging towers to reach in Hyrule. Widely believed to be one of the hardest towers to access, we've got all you need to complete this particularly tricky task.
Skyview towers now offer the use of fast travel, allowing Link to be shot up in the air and letting him glide to his destination. The Gerudo Tower has one of the hardest dungeons to complete in-game so unlocking the Tower itself will be a challenging feat.

To make the elevator work, you must find a heavy, weighted object to attach to a hanging knob on the elevator's platform ceiling. Try using the metal crates to do so. It's worth noting you'll need to utilise Ultrahand in order to move the heavy objects into place.
