The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom brings Link back to the same Hyrule as players had experienced in the previous game, Breath of the Wild. Some things may have changed, but most of the locations have remained intact.
Link has also gained a few new abilities, but can he swim underwater? The diving adventures of past games was not present in Breath of the Wild, but does it return in Tears of the Kingdom? This guide will answer how to swim underwater and other things found beneath the sea.
Unfortunately, there is no ability to swim underwater in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Players can dive from one of the highest Sky Islands into any body of water of Hyrule, and Link will briefly be underwater before popping back up to the surface.
Once in the water, players can only swim around with the left control stick and dash with the X button to swim faster. There are no other controls to submerge Link completely and swim while underwater, though there are some cooked foods that will boost his speed in the water.
While Link cannot swim underwater, players may come across chests that have sunk to the bottom of shallow lakes and ponds. Since Link cannot physically get to the treasure chest, then the treasure chest will have to come to him.

Then move the cursor over the chest and press the A button to grab it and then drag it from the water. It can then be opened on land.
