You walk back to the stable, satisfied that you have a better idea of the lay of the land than earlier.

There's a Sheikah Tower not far off, waiting for you to activate it. But the direct approach is by a road you're best off not taking. The monsters guarding the Tower are too well entrenched there. Rain is starting to settle in, as well, with the rumble of thunder sounding in the immediate distance. The combination, of weather and monsters, could spell disaster for you.

It's inconvenient to have to wait things out. It's all you can do, though.
