Completely missed that quest lol. Most of my time early on was just spent exploring and unlocking the map. Eventually made my way to kakariko village, saw a dragon flying into one of the holes and hopped on thinking I’d go out of bounds and die or something.

He looks a little down. Cheer up fella!

About 8 or so hours into Tears of The Kingdom I discovered the depths completely on accident by riding one of the dragons into it. First time in a long time I felt a complete sense of awe while playing a video game.
