To avoid getting lost in a cave, it is always helpful to remember the way you came in through. But even if that doesn't work, there are much easier ways to leave a cave in no time.

Ascend

One thing that many Tears of the Kingdom players often forget is Link's new Ascend ability. This skill allows you to travel through ceilings and pop out the other side. Logically, you can also use Ascend to exit a cave.

Fast Travel

If the ceiling of the cave is too high, sometimes you may not be able to use Ascend. But don't worry, the last resort in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is still that you can simply teleport yourself to any shrine or Skyview tower, which serve as fast-travel points in TotK.
