The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom allows players to fly high in the sky as well as explore caves well in the depths of Hyrule’s land. For those wondering, here are the highest points you can reach in the game as well as the lowest you can dive down into.

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, players were introduced to the biggest and most open-world version of Hyrule to date. Now in the follow-up title Tears of the Kingdom, players can explore the Sky above as well as the ground below.

With abilities such as Ascend as well as Link’s trusty paraglider and other means to rise above the sky, moving up and down from the map is just as exciting as it is moving from north to south.

But just how high in the sky can you get in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Continue reading as we break down what we know so far about the heights you are able to achieve in Tears of the Kingdom.

What is the highest point in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

Traveling and exploring the sky in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a central aspect of the time. While it can be fun to jump from the highest point and sail down to the land of Hyrule below, getting all the way to the top is not an easy feat.

For those wondering just how high you can get in Tears of the Kingdom, we’ve done some research to figure out what the highest point on the map is.

When playing through the game, the highest point Link can reach in Tears of the Kingdom is all the way at +3300 on the Y axis. To achieve this, one must hop in their balloon and continue going up all the way.

Mind you, it does take a bit of time to get all the way up but this seems to be the limit of the sky.

What is the lowest point in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

On the flip side of this, Tears of the Kingdom offers up many new caves and areas below the ground for Link to discover and explore. While it would typically be a hassle to get back up from the depth, Ascent makes getting back up into the world a much quicker process.

So far, the lowest area that we can find in Tears of the Kingdom is at -1166. For context, the sea level in the game sits at 0. Therefore, this is quite a long way down. However, in the nature of not giving away too many spoilers, we will not be disclosing where these depths are.
