The overworld is completely connected. Functionally there is virtually no difference between going up to the sky to drop down into a different area and going through a hub area like Hyrule Field. The disconnect exists only in your mind.
Since you can go up from and drop down to a number of different points, the sky also functions as a sort of fast-travel -- you can go up and immediately drop back down into another area of the region you were already in. It takes a bit longer than playing a tune on your ocarina, but the drop points are much more useful than, say, warping into the middle of the Fire Temple or the Forest Meadow.
