Mr Miyamoto has been busy lately catching up with popular YouTubers and answering their questions. iJustine managed to get some Zelda Wii Uinformation from Shigeru Miyamoto who clarified that there will be plenty to do in the game’s overworld. You’ll have so much to do that you’ll forget what your main mission is, though I’m sure you’ll get back on track eventually.

You showed the Zelda trailer and that’s such a huge world. How is that going to be for you guys to approach as far as gameplay and story, because it’s such a huge world.
With Zelda games, what we’ve always done is try to make them where you enter this big world of Hyrule and there’s a lot to explore and discover, but because of the hardware limitations, what we’ve had to do is segment off each area and piece those segments together in a way that make them feel like a big world. Now, with the hardware capabilities of Wii U, we first started by saying if we can take an entire world the size of the world from Twilight Princess, and make that the size of one of the areas in the game.

Do you see that as a game where people will go to complete a certain mission and they end up doing fifty things along the way?
Yeah, there may even be times where you forget what your goal is, because you are doing other things on the side. There may be times where you go in to one big one long dungeon, or you’re headed for a dungeon and doing other things on the side. What we’re trying to do is design it in a way where you don’t have to play it for a super long time, but more matched to today’s lifestyle where you can think for a little bit, and say “maybe I just want to play for a little bit today and do this one thing.” and get that thing done, then take a break.

Noicee! I am so excited for this game but damn it, I want to see more!!! I really do hope it will come out in 2015 but not get delayed to 2016 but I wouldnt be surprised if it does T_T

I want this to be real. 

Also, it seems that they are really trying to put a lot of side quests, which means a lot of content. In the end, th Video Game Awards footage was just shown to confirm us that the world is big, the game is going to launch in 2015 and to bring some hype to non-Nintendo players, but they know that the game isn't properly ready to be exposed, so they decided to make it an off-screen gameplay.

I like games that do that, where I can get lost in exploring and sidemissions.

Everything about this game sounds and looks good. This is going to be mind-blowing .

Need to see more... MORE !

OH GOSH! OH GOSH!

OH GOSH!
How exciting! Please just don't be fetch quests! Release the game soon!

Gosh darn it, I'm having a progressively harder time not letting my hype levels go through the roof.

I just hope that there's a lot to do that actually feels like it matters. If all this side stuff just nets you rupees and rupees are mostly worthless as they often are, then there really won't be a lot you'll WANT to do. They've got to strike that balance of rewards that are useful but not necessary. Bringing back the potion and crafting systems from Skyward Sword would help a TON, because it's just that much more stuff to collect.

This game's sounding better and better every time they talk about it, so excited! :)

I can only hope we get another small sneak peak before E3, I dunno if I can wait another 6 months to see more.

Please don't release too soon. Don't let stupid bugs or missing polish ruin a otherwise great game. Please Nintendo, take the time and make it a great experience, delay if you have to. Don't fuck up THIS game.

When he mentioned that the whole map of Twilight Princess would be equal to one are of the next Zelda... it literally took my breath away. Amazing, really!
