Still on a quest to advance my character as far as possible without technically setting foot on the Hyrule surface, a lucky crash landing put me in just the right spot. After placing two carts i was able to jump right in and buy some armor. The funny thing, after saving the screenshot shows Rito Village but actually loads me back to the sky island where i started.

I suspected this might be possible. I've heard others say you can't 100% the Depths without traversing the surface because the Abandoned Hebra Mine isn't connected to the rest of the Depths. My current profile has never set foot in Hyrule and therefore never unlocked the center "Surface" map. With some careful (or extremely foolhardy) sledding I still haven't!
