You know, we had a sneaky suspicion that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would have some legs on it. From people's ridiculous Ultrahand creations to glitches to challenge runs, it feels like players are always discovering something weird or new.
Well, fans have now found a huge hole (ahem...) tucked underneath the Hebra Depths, and Gaming Reinvented has provided a breakdown of how to reach it.
This is, essentially, a cut "room" from Tears of the Kingdom, like the beta version of one of the game's dungeons or the unused rooms in Hyrule Castle. The difference is. this one's fully rendered, with gloom all over the floor. Plus, it's extremely deep — deeper than any other part of the Depths.
To get to this hidden shaft, you'll need to clip through the floor in the Depths under the Hebra region at coordinates 2906, 3094, -1024.You'll need to do this twice, given that the wall has two layers. Then, to reach the bottom of the pit, you'll need to carefully drop down, as it's far too deep to drop down.
There's no equivalent "mirror" on the surface, but it seems like this chasm had a surface. While Gaming Reinvented does speculate it may have housed a chest or been an entrance to a area with more content — maybe an alternate path to the Spirit Temple or something else?
Anyway, it's a weird piece of cut content, particularly because its fully rendered and not a blank slate.You can watch the video below to see just how you reach the area.
Will you try and reach this mysterious hole in the depths? Let us know in the comments.

I've enjoyed what I played of TotK, but it didnt hold my attention long enough. In hindsight, I think Nintendo should have waited on Switch 2 for this
Always love when people discover such things about games and this is certainly no exception!
Let's put a boulder in the hole 🕳️ like they do the challenge in the castle! 🏰
@ozwally Every single TotK post is guaranteed to have someone comment with how they didn't like the game, even when that opinion isn't especially relevant to the post. It's so tiresome.
@Folkloner regardless of whether they are right or not doesn’t change the fact I’m also sick of hearing it.
@Folkloner almost as tiredome as a response that doesnt have relevance to said post by you?
Nice deep area to find, such a shame its not full of goodies.
I’ve seen The Descent so I’m good!
OMG that accent, is that british?
Unused Big Hole
😏
@_fatto_katto_ yes but it's quite an unusual one, most people do not pronounce chasm with a ch sound like he does.
@Otoemetry Im from England and use Ch when saying Chasm. ButI know other areas in UK with different accents say Casm instead. No idea whos right lool
@Patendo here in the us we say casm
@Patendo the root word is Greek so you should use a kh sound, same as for chaotic and Christmas
Very neat. And it makes me wish once again they would have done a further depths with no ability to create much light and some horribly abstract creatures like in the ocean depths and monstrously corrupted yiga clan who went too far.
Most of all I just wanted more of this game. I love BOTW a huge amount but I loved TOTK a bit more for the Depths and Sky world (especially for that cashing in on all of Skyward Sword's flubbed potential). It was totally complete but I would have thrown money so fast at DLC.
I love Tears of The Kingdom!
THIS is the kind of glitch I love.
It reminds me of the dam island in Goldeneye.
@Otoemetry Yes they do, as that is the correct way to pronounce that word.
That looks like it’s just a point where different geometry pieces meet, with a bottom added.
The gloom might simply be a default setting.
@Patendo @Otoemetry but why have the h there if it’s not gonna affect the sound of the c 🧐
@Eel English plays fast and loose with grammar, what can I say. You would never in a million years make a ch sound when pronouncing Christmas lest everyone around you think you'd gone mad, even calling someone named Tristan's birthday "Tristmas" would sound odd.
I'm not an etymologist but there are a bunch of words with ancient greek roots what begin with a ch yet are pronounced with a k sound, words like character, chorus, the aforementioned chaos etc where a ch sound would sound very weird. I think it's probably the interaction of Greek, Latin, French, and German within English that has made this strange situation but as I said earlier English just does it that way for some reason. Probably all the invasions and then all the invading
Not that exciting, just like the rest of depths
@Otoemetry
Chasm like Cheese?
I can't watch the video...
How else is it pronounced?
And now I see the rest of the conversation about pronunciation... LoL
Wow I've never muted a video so quickly, and I'm English myself.
@Eel Yeah I think it’s just void between areas but where the textures still reach.
Interesting to see an area this big not accessible through normal gameplay
@ozwally Honestly I kind of rushed through the game. Even when I got to the part where there was a dungeon in the sky I just took my flying machine to the end of the place to get whatever it was I needed there.
Lots of typos in this article... Anyway, neat find, I love these sorts of things in TotK. One of my favorite games, especially since I never God air to BotW so I don't have the whole "shoulda been more different" POV like many others.
Think the commentary was more exciting than the shaft.
@browneyes lol, same here. The most annoying voice/accent/lilt combo in existence.
@Otoemetry is it even possible for the human mouth to pronounce “Christmas” while keeping the h? Seriously I’m trying right now.
@wanderwonder Pennsylvania/New Jersey area, I've heard and said "ch"asm all my life and I'm 40, have never heard anyone correct one another.
@Eel Easy. Pronounce it like tristmas or tree, if you will. "tr" turns into "ch" + "r", very few people say it with a hard t.
@Kilroy I find both sounds to be very different and can’t really “hear” it.
Perhaps it’s just my native tongue not being English.
This doesn’t involve Korok torture. I’m uninterested. Call me when people start throwing those little dorks down the hole.
@wanderwonder I really think we should call it a freedom hole. It's like a regular chasm but with more liberty.
Late to the party how on earth do you clip through floors like that?
@Otoemetry I now want to start calling it CHRistmas to see how many of my friends look at me weird. haha
@Eel English not being your first language is probably the barrier here, especially with anything using r sounds since English is quite unique in how we pronounce them. Most of the rest of the world (or at least in languages in which the sound actually appears, many use L sounds as a substitute instead) use either the tip of the tongue to "trill" the r sound or it's in the back of the throat to make a more gutteral sound, both are known as "rolling" your Rs in English and a great many native speakers struggle with it... though the trill can still be heard in the Old Hollywood "Transatlantic" accent that some older (usually posh) people still use.
The r sound in English is mostly formed using a depressed tongue shifting the sound towards the centre of the mouth while squeezing the esophagus and partly pursing your lips, it's quite unusual linguistically speaking (or at least that's what the person whose video I watched said! 😅) and it's part of a generational shift away from the other ways of saying the sound. It's similar to how people tend to say a ch sound for words beginning with t such as tuna and tune, most young (southern) English people will say choon instead of pronouncing the t and certainly don't bother making a point of including the you sound unless they're trying to sound like the queen. Anyway I've rambled on enough for now, linguistics is cool yo
@Patendo British here, Bristolian in fact. So we don't pronounce words like a lot of the country. Never ever heard anyone say Chasm with the H left in. Also annoyed me he kept skipping over certain parts of words "grudo" instead of Gerudo, and "Tears o'Kingdom" instead of Tears of the Kingdom...
