Aside from exploring the archipelago of isles overhead Hyrule, players can also scour a new subterranean region called the Depths in Tears of the Kingdom. This underground area is as enormous as the kingdom above but shrouded in thick darkness.

Fortunately, players will discover Lightroots that permanently illuminate sections of the Depths once activated, becoming an essential boon for seeing what's nearby.

If you're trying to find them, here's a list of all Lightroot locations and how many are in Tears of the Kingdom.

How many Lightroots are there in 'Tears of the Kingdom'?

There are 120 Lightroots within the Depths, matching the number of shrines on Hyrule's surface and sky islands.

Luckily, all Lightroots are directly under shrines, which will help you explore the vast darkness more efficiently or vice versa when uncovering shrines.
