Faron Tower Region

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide · Exploring the south

The Faron Tower Region is a lush, subtropical jungle area located in the southern part of Hyrule filled with dense rainforests, waterfalls, and ancient Zonai ruins. It is the primary habitat for electric dragon Farosh and boasts an abundance of high-value resources like Hearty Durians, Mighty Bananas, and Voltfin Trout. Exploration here largely revolves around navigating frequent thunderstorms, scaling massive cliffs, and solving ruin-based shrine quests.
