the towers gave me a ubisoft-induced freakout but they don't reveal icons thankfully, I think they just reveal the overall map of the area? And they seem to unlock apps for the Sheikah iPad? I might be totally wrong though lol

yah they just reveal basic landmasses like rivers rivers or whtever

It's neat that the towers are just tall spots, it looks like you build out the map notes yourself like a Erian odyssey game

it's really cool. The towers are vantage points and you just use them to zoom in on things and place markers

Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up
plus you might want to use them to glide down to an advantageous spot, they aren’t just used up content once you’ve climbed them once

when zelda has arbitrary map-revealing towers all over the place, it's actually novel and good

in no ubisoft open world game were you able to glide from high points to markers on the map

this actually looks really good, and not at all like the pre-alpha of a late-2000s MMO before they made a final pass with art assets

The difference is that Ubisoft games are joyless piles of dogshit that they release 3 times a year

Have the reviews stated whether the Wii U version is drastically inferior? I Don't want to buy a switch for a year or two and would love an excuse to dust off the ol' U.

The differences seem limited to screen resolution (720 for WiiU, 900 for Switch) and draw distance for really faraway objects like trees, boulders etc
