You think big flat almost empty world? Yeah, why not. True, there's no excuse for the team that makes one of the best games in world, lol.


It was awarded as the best Zelda game for Zelda fans in VGChartz. Of course it must be for something like the overworld. And still, there's no excuse. Zelda HD won't be the first open world game ever.

I love Zelda WW HD, its probably my second best Zelda, but world was pretty flat and empty.

What excuses!?

Zelda U wont be first open world Zelda, evan Aonuma stated that Zelda has always been open world, but it will be most open world game since NES Zelda and with biggest world ever in any Zelda game.


"A huge, seamlessly unfolding world is something that can't be achieved if the hardware isn't advanced enough," he responded when asked how the studio was transitioning to the new world teased in last year's demo. "Ever since we made the very first generation of Legend of Zelda games though, we've had as large a world as can be realised with the hardware, so you could say it was inevitable that we've now done the same with the new Wii U title."

He also commented on claims that the series had finally gone open world.

"When I first showed off the new Zelda game on the Wii U, it seemed everyone was very excited and started proclaiming that a Zelda game had at last become open world! Zelda games have always allowed you to roam and explore a huge world.

"What's changed now is that the hardware has progressed to the point that you can now explore this vast world seamlessly; the underpinning of the game hasn't changed."
