Well, that size is relative. In real world units the Skyrim Map may measure 25km2, but, obviously it's supposed to portray an area way bigger than a single city like Kyoto. In reality, a single mountain with foothills would already be larger than 25km2, but in Skyrim there's a whole lot of different mountains and landscapes.

Basically all Aonuma is saying is it will be big.

Actually it's around 37km2, or 14.5 sq miles, but yeah, it's supposed to represent much biger world.

Daggerfall is only one in the series that (most likely) has real size (of over 62k sq miles)

Yeah I just saw someone mentioning '25', I didn't actually know .

Yeah, they probably miscalculated miles to kms...

Anyway, I hope Aonuma and his team take few pointers from other great open-word games of the past, and make Zelda once again not just about puzzles...I would really love to see lot of exploration and smaller dungeons and events (in addition to main) that play more in style of C/W-RPGs.
