Aonuma in EDGE: Zelda Wii U won't be open world the same way other games are.

Please, dont make zelda open world. Why does everything needs to be open world?

Zelda was the first open world game. And any game where you explore a world needs to be open world. The better question is why not?

Ultima says hello. -___-

As for what Aonuma is saying, I take it he means it will be open world, but not sandbox.

If by open world you mean you can look at the world in all directions and move in a 3D enviroment then OK, its just like Ocarina or any other Zelda game.

But there was is a linearity to it, you can't just go anywhere you want from the beggining, so you have to follow a certain path to the game. And anyway, the "world" in zelda games usually are small so it's more like space between the dungeons where you can have side quests or other stuff. Like the Arkham city for example. Thats is perfect for me.
