And now my hopes for an actual open world goes up. Most companies don't know shit what an actual open world is and if they're making it different that means there is hope they'll do an actual open world :P

What do you mean by an actual open world?

One big connected world instead of big areas stitched together. Think Skyrim vs Xenoblade Chronicles. A lot of companies dare to say that the latter constitutes an open world. By my definition no Zelda game has been open world yet, with WW being kind of an exception.
