If you hated Wind Waker, you'll really hate Zelda U.

Dozens and dozens of islands that stretch as far as the horizon like the hills, mountains, buildings, rivers, and forests do here?

Zelda U is nowhere even close to being empty as WW.

That's just better draw distance from more powerful hardware and a different elevation. That has nothing to do with how close they are to each other. You can be on one side of a reletively small (real life) lake and not be able to see what's on the other side, but be able to see for miles further if you're elevated. Link is in this. Most of the scenery is either down hill or above the horizon line.

This is what the gap between islands looks like in WW: 

We have not seen a single area of Zelda U even close to as empty and featureless. Not one.
