Quick Answer

Do not rush the farthest towers first. Start with Lookout Landing, then open practical early coverage such as Hyrule Field, Lindor’s Brow, and Popla Foothills. Delay towers that ask for harsher weather, heat, cold, or enemy camp pressure until your food, armor, and weapons are steadier.

Expansion Plan

Each tower can become its own page later: nearest fast travel point, coordinates, puzzle solution, nearby shrines, and useful materials. That makes the tower route a strong map-section backbone.
