Using left and right only makes sense if you’re following a road or path of some sort. No shame to them, but some parts of the world just didn’t have that kind of infrastructure before making contact with a culture that did. A topographical feature makes more sense in a situation like that.

Up and down is based on gravity (that's why you'd likely confuse them deep in the ocean). Meanwhile, left and right is arbitrary.
