The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom may have underwater exploration, as one fan discovered following yesterday's gameplay demonstration.

Over on the Tears of the Kingdom subreddit, one observant fan has spotted a potential hint towards Link doing some underwater exploration in the Breath of the Wild sequel. As pointed out in the post, it appears Link can use his new Ascend ability whilst submerged underwater, meaning it could come in handy when exploring the ocean's depths.

In the screenshots, taken from yesterday's Tears of the Kingdom gameplay demonstration, we see Link free-falling through the sky, where his Ascend ability is greyed out - meaning players can't activate it when falling. It does, however, briefly light up again once Link hits the water and his head goes under the surface. Once he pops back up though, the ability is greyed out again. This tiny detail has convinced fans that we'll be able to explore the depths of Hyrule this time.
