Cap of Time
To get here, you’ll need to launch yourself from theThyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower!Glide south and look out for the Flux Construct below. You don’t need to fight it; just look for the smaller, attached island north of the Flux Construct. There areZonai Rockets and hovering platformsthat you can use there to boost yourself higher and then glide further south to the location of this Old Map.
There’s one, lone island between the Central Hyrule Sky and the Lanayru Sky where you can find an Old Map. Thankfully, it’srelatively low to the ground.You can launch yourself from theSahasra Slope Skyview Towerand glide to it. Or, if you’ve already reached the Josiu Shrine south of the Old Map, you can glide from there, too. Either way, we recommend having at leasttwo rings of Stamina.

This Old Map is surrounded by luminous stones on a very high sky island. Your goal is to get to the island with the Flux Construct beneath the Old Map. To do that,launch yourselffrom either the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower or the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower.
Attached to the large circle where the Flux Construct is, to the southwest, there’s a connected sky island. There, you can findhovering platforms and Balloons to use.Whenever you’re ready, send yourself soaring with a few balloons on a hovering platform and you’ll quickly be able to jump off and glide to the chest. There are a couplebatteriesaround the area, too; we recommend attaching those to the platform. With two batteries, attached, we used almost four full energy cells to get up there.
Be sure to unlock the Jinodok Shrine as a fast travel point; it makes the rest of this area much easier!

Tunic of the Hero
This Old Map chest is hanging off of a moving platform,wrapped in a vine.To get up to the place, you’re able to either launch yourself from the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower or the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. It’s quicker from the one in the Hyrule Field, but you can just barely make it if you have the Avatar of Tulin. TheGerudo Canyon Skyview Toweris a more sure thing, since you can land on platforms between the Skyrview Tower and your destination.
When you reach your destination, look for a replica of themoving platform.You can use Ultrahand on it to turn it. Just keep turning it forwards (slowly, or it can get confused) towrap the vine around the platformuntil you can reach the chest. Cut the vines around the chest and pop it open to reveal the Old Map!

You can launch from theSahasra Slope Skyview Tower and land directly on the island where the chest with the Old Map is.

On this island, you’ll find a lot of Skyshrooms and nuts, and you’ll seethe chest hanging from a vine in the circular centre.Drop down; there are a few mini islands with wooden platforms you may use to build with, ensuring your chest won’t fall when you finally shoot the vine.
