Later on, you find the thing that will help you reach the path or open said door, and you can work your way back to discover new areas and find more abilities. Most metroidvanias involve you running across a path you can’t reach, or a door you can’t open. Metroidvanias are games about exploration, and earning new capabilities or finding new permanent power ups that will help you further explore the world.
