I think its "Open World" in the sense that u can go to anywhere you want but when you get to a dungeons, you have to do it in a specific way so like, u can't just go straight to the boss without clearing through several rooms first although you might be able to clear the rooms in the dungeon in any order and etc

Yeah, so it won't be like Xenoblade open world but like Zelda open world...

You're looking too deep into his words to see something wrong with them. Him saying he prefers not using that word, for 1, =//= hate, and 2, doesn't mean less open world or differently open world than we imagined.

We've already seen and played ALBW. What was the 'catch' with that game in regards to being open world? Taken by itself. No matter how it achieved said open world, it still did so.

Stop looking for attention, and stop being paranoid.

Basically what he is saying, is don't expect it to be like skyrim or gta. With those games you still have a set order of missions that you need to do to progress through the story(more so gta) He's saying that you don't have to do anything in any sort of order.

No. Basically what he is saying is that he doesn't like using the words "open world" when designing a game. You're looking way to into this. If Nintendo was making an exact clone of GTA, he'd still not like using the term "open world." Zelda U won't be like Skyrim, but this is not why. It will be like a 3D version of Zelda NES, which is known as being the first true open world game, or like Wind Waker if it was on land. As he said, he uses the term "open world" so consumers can understand what kind of world it is. A big, open, seamless one. 

ALttP, Skyrim, and GTA are all open world games, but they're all completely different types of open worlds. He probably doesn't like the term "open world" because, when designing a game, people may think "let's make the game like Skyrim" or "let's make the game like GTA" instead of "let's make the world big, open and seamless." 

The original Zelda was pretty non-linear, so I am OK with that!

The first Zelda on Nes and Ocarina of Time on N64, were already kind of open world in my book.

- Just give us an option to turn off the never ending tutorials and quickly ignore those uninteresting dialogues.
- Use those billions in the bank to hire some actors, it would be a better way to immerse us in Hyrule. Because those boring dialogues said in a cheap and incomprehensible gibberish really must stop in you want adults to be interested and immersed in the game.

holding B is your friend, that's how you skip dialogue in Zelda games and always has been since OoT (possibly before)

The Zelda gameplay formula, like whatever Nintendo makes, is pure magic. (or chemistry, lol) I just hope it's still Zelda. But whatever it is, it should be good.
