An estimation of the Breath of the Wild map size.

Wow, just realized what that last land mass was. If Twilight Princess one is correct, then this world will feel YUGE.

Comparing to games is fine and all, but it's always hard to get a feel when comparing games that are different. You know comparing or Skyrim or Xenoblade, ect.

But comparing to a game in its own series helps. Man this game is freaking massive then. It almost is like the entirety of TP could fit on the opening Plateau of the game. Thankfully it doesn't seem to be as walled in as TP either. So many big random walls/cliffs in TP that made teh world even smaller than the map shows. Also random loading screens between some areas were annoying.

Yeah I agree that it's especially crazy when you compare it to older Zelda games. TP was pretty segmented aswell, so this will feel like and even bigger jump than it already is.

From the looks of it BOTW is likely just under half the size of The Witcher 3.

Witcher 3 in what way?

Just its first area? (not prologue) or is that including the Skeliga isles as well? When including the isles, does it count land only, or include the ocean? What about the big expansion world?

From what I can gather, Novegrad, the Skeliga isles, and Velen together are 136 km2 which would put those regions at about 2 1/4 times the size of BOTW. Don't know how big any other regions or add ons are though.
