Unlike the Sky Islands, TOTK 's underground sections have less of a focus in the game's advertising, with the game's trailers providing only brief sneak peeks at subterranean areas. The lowest layer of TOTK 's map, however, is expansive, large enough to have a map separate from above-ground Hyrule, similar to the various underground rivers of Elden Ring 's Lands Between. Also, similarly to Elden Ring , access to the underground looks limited, as many of its entrances in Hyrule are surrounded by hazardous Malice - meaning that players will often have to drop straight into a hole from somewhere high

Being a direct sequel, TOTK 's Hyrule is in the same physical location as BOTW 's - something of a first for the series, as even previous direct sequels like Majora's Mask take place in a different setting from their predecessors. Luckily, however, much of Hyrule has undergone significant change in the time since BOTW , with villages, friendly settlements, and enemy camps all being significantly different from their BOTW appearances. Even the game's various towers and shrines have gone through major shifts, and many of the first game's most notable landmarks, such as the Seven Heroine statues in the Gerudo Desert, have been changed as w

Additionally, in comparison to the broken-up nature of the Sky Islands, TOTK 's underground is ambitiously massive - just about matching the size of ground-level Hyrule. However, while much of the surface will be familiar to players returning from Breath of the Wild , the underground is entirely new and will be especially important for obtaining some important items or encountering optional bosses. Although much of the advertising for Tears of the Kingdom chose to focus on floating Sky Islands, the game's underground will likely be where most players get the most mileage out of TOTK 's open-world des

However, unlike the clear split between sky and ground in something like Skyward Sword , transitioning between the different "layers" of TOTK is impressively seamless. Players are able to pilot vehicles, ride Recalled debris, glide, or simply fall between the sky and ground levels of Hyrule with no need for loading screens or transitions, making exploration an almost completely uninterrupted experience. And while the disconnected nature of the Sky Islands means they don't occupy quite as much space as ground-level Hyrule, falling from the sky may prove an excellent way to access the third, lowest layer of TOTK 's map - the expansive undergro
