Massive dungeons like were promised.


Speaking specifically about dungeons, one hope I have that not a lot of people have mentioned is that I hope that the dungeons are all one, large, connected space. The only dungeons that came close to this were the ones in Skyward Sword, but even they were separated into a handful of areas. I want to be able to travel to a dungeon, go into that dungeon, beat that dungeon, and leave that dungeon without experiencing one loading/black screen.

To me, that would even be more impressive than the "open world." Already had a technical open world in Wind Waker's over world, so the over world in Zelda U doesn't impress me as much as a massive, seamless dungeon absolutely will. I can't even fathom that, to be honest. Only the Souls games have offered me something that feels like that.


I like the idea of dungeons being connected together somewhat, but I think making them all connected would maybe feel a little bit forced.

Looking at how Epona won't run into a tree because real horses don't do that I'd say it would be cool if some of the dungeons were connected, but not all of them, because in the real world not all caves are connected and enlessly big, it kinda goes back to what I was saying about not being big just for the sake of being a huge thing, they're epicly big to serve the purposes of gameplay they offer and because they work realistically within the kind of world Nintendo are making for this game.

Underground locations can definitely be big, connect to a bunch of others, maybe some walls are blocked off and you have to chop your way through some or some stone or other super tough materials block your access to another area underground until you find a strong enough bomb or defeat some massive enemy, like a troll or a rock monster with a power you have to progressively gain.

I totally agree on making transitions into and out of dungeons seamless to navigate to, like you find a tunnel and you go into it (whether it's climbing down ladders or just walking into a cave and traveling down naturally formed paths), walk around in the caves and dungeons, complete the objectives you need to, in order to progress and then you come back up to the surface, no loading times, just movement through the game world.

 

I assume what you basically mean is like in Minecraft, everything is one world and it all connects in some way?

If so that would be awesome, I don't see why that can't happen in this game.

 

The prospects of this just blow my mind as a gamer, I hope this is what Nintendo has been making.
