This Dark Aspects episode dives deep into The Depths to unearth more of the "adult" content found in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The Depths is a surprising underworld akin to the various "Dark Worlds" of Zelda's history, starting with a Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo all the way to the Switch.
