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 zones from start to finish in a single, unbroken run (mostly!).
On the Monster Hunter subreddit, user -BrotherPig- shared a video showcasing their incredible trek. Beginning in the Windward Plains, they navigated dunes and diverse landscapes, ultimately reaching the game's late-game areas. (Spoiler alert: If you haven't completed the main story, you might want to skip the video!)
Did you know there's only 1 loading screen between the Plains and Suja? 9min ride through all zones.

This lengthy journey highlights the seamless connectivity between zones. Remarkably, only one loading screen interrupted the entire trip—the transition from the Oilwell Basin to the Iceshard Cliffs. Otherwise, it was a continuous run, a testament to the game's design and likely the stamina of the player's Seikret.
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 interconnectedness is impressive. The video offers a fresh perspective on the pathways and passages linking the various areas, particularly the Forbidden Lands.
