The sky
Mysterious floating islands have suddenly appeared in the skies above Hyrule. Link must use his newly-acquired abilities to navigate the islands and unlock the secrets they hold.
The surface
The sky isn’t the only thing that’s changed in Hyrule. Familiar locations have been dramatically transformed, with new towns, dank caves, and mysterious gaping chasms springing up across the world—all waiting to be explored.
The depths
The Upheaval in Hyrule has opened up great chasms in the land that lead to the Depths, a vast expanse of unexplored territory lying far below the surface, shrouded in mystery.
