3. Making the Pole
Once you have chopped the trees, it is time to make the pillar. Use your Ultrahand ability to make the pillar.
4. Waiting Until the Afternoon
You can connect the shadows of the south and north columns only between 12:00 to 13:00. So build a campfire and wait until the afternoon. This is an essential step for opening the Thundra Plateau Door in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
5. Connecting the Shadows of North and South Columns With the Help of the Pillar
Once it is afternoon, make sure you stand on the right. Position so that the shadows of both columns are visible. Then, locate the pillar straight on the ground so its shadow connects the shadows of the north and south columns. The door will open if done correctly, and you can go inside.
