I'm so smart...

TOTK noob here. When I discussed my excitement to start this game, I was told that I would be excited to explore the Depths. I was confused, I'd explored all these different caves. Nothing was "the depths". I ran into these black/red hands that absolutely destroyed me. So when I saw massive black/red "pools" around the map, I just said "Screw that, I don't want to die." Well, the yesterday I was thinking about where to explore next and was wondering what those pools were and then it dawned on me, I bet those are holes to the depths. So yeah, now I'm finally exploring the depths. Absolutely terrifying with my weak armor and weapons so far, but it's fun. So yeah, I feel a little dumb that it took me so many hours of gameplay to get to checking out the depths.
