Zelda U - Hold up, you must start with the horse right?

Reminds me of Majora's Mask. Each time you got to a new area a large chunk of the world was open up to you, but you had to explore it to move on.

Then near the end of the game you could go to Great Bay or Ikana Kingdom in any order.

It will still be more open than that of course.

You need the Ice arrows on the Great Bay Temple to reach Ikana Valley.
