The world of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak (assuming "Monster Hunter Wilds" is a typo) is surprisingly interconnected. One player recently demonstrated this with an epic journey, traversing the game's vast landscape from a starting zone to its endgame areas.
On the Monster Hunter subreddit, user -BrotherPig- shared a video (see below) showcasing their incredible trek. Beginning in the Windward Plains, they journeyed across diverse environments, ultimately reaching some of the game's final areas. (Spoiler alert for those who haven't completed the main story!)
Did you know there's only 1 loading screen between the Plains and Suja? 9min ride through all zones.

This remarkably long, continuous run highlights the seamless connectivity between zones. Only one loading screen occurred, transitioning from the Oilwell Basin to the Iceshard Cliffs. Otherwise, it was a single, impressive run for this presumably very tired hunter.
While Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak isn't entirely devoid of loading screens (there are loading screens for the training grounds and fast travel, for example), the degree of connection between areas is truly impressive. This journey offers a fresh perspective on the interconnectedness of the Forbidden Lands and the paths weaving through them.
