The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is a massive game featuring a vastly expanded map of Hyrule, with two entirely new zones for players to explore, the Sky Islands and the Depths. While the previous game, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild was already a massive game with a vast open-world to explore, the sequel takes it up a notch by adding multiple new regions in addition to Hyrule.
You start the game at the Great Sky Islands but will eventually be guided towards the surface, where you can finally explore the entirety of Hyrule and its many different biomes. One of the biggest new additions to the map in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is the Depths, an underground area beneath Hyrule that is equally as expansive as the surface above.
Although the Depths are an essential part of the game's progression and story, you're not directed towards it right from the get-go, unlike the overworld of Hyrule and the Sky Islands. Instead, you will stumble upon the Depths while exploring the open world and via the multiple "chasms" scattered across Hyrule.
How to reach the Depths in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?
You can get into the Depths as soon as you complete the game's prologue section, i.e., the Great Sky Island part, and make your way to Hyrule. However, there are a few things that you first need before you can descend the vast and dark wilderness of the Depths in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. You must also be equipped with plenty of Bringbloom Seeds to navigate the Depths.
To reach the Depths, you will need to find a chasm, which is scattered across the entirety of Hyrule. However, to descend the Depths, you will first need to get the "paraglider," which you can get after meeting Purah and completing the first main story quest in Hyrule. Once you have the paraglider and have plenty of Brightblooms in your possession, you're set to go down the chasms and into the Depths.

The chasms are essentially the gateway to the Depths, which is otherwise inaccessible.
