In this The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom analysis, I discuss why The Depths can feel so restrictive at first—rendering the act of exploring and conquering the abyss all the more meaningful. Sorry for the pun title. Not really though.

It's another analysis piece on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, this time focusing specifically on what I believe to be its best feature - The Depths - despite this restrictive, hostile environment seeming to go against the airy sense of freedom that so characterises the game otherwise. Through discussion of the mechanics of these dank, dark caves (as well as looking into what makes caves so compelling in real life), I'll lay out why I think that The Depths make moment-to-moment exploration meaningful in a way that the world above can't match—turning every step taken into a game of tense decision making, leading to some of the most exciting emergent storytelling moments I've had across Tears of the Kingdom.

Thanks for watching this analysis/review of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom!
