It is recommended to unlock towers in parallel to finishing the main quests.

After the main quest, Divine Beast Vah Medoh, Link can now create updrafts using Revali's Gale to traverse high places which makes climbing and unlocking towers less difficult.

Lake Tower, Akkala Tower, and Faron Tower are not involved in any main quests, so it is recommended to take a detour after successfully freeing the Divine Beast Vah Medoh.
