So water doesnt count as part of the world now? You know the planet is 70% water. So what if WW was mostly water, that's exactly what our planet is like. It's as open world as BOTW |
Not to butt in on this, but I have to say, the ocean in the Wind Waker often blinds people as to how "open" that game actually is. I take it anyone who played both it and Breath of the Wild, should know that the Wind Waker's gameplay structure is exactly like an A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, being that it's basically "Closed Tutorial section > Story event opens most of the world > Set of dungeons > Story event involving the Master Sword > Set of dungeons > Story event and endgame". That's nowhere near as free as Breath of the Wild is. In fact, progression in Wind Waker is as linear as it is in Twilight Princess because contrary to ALttP and OoT, there's no way to do any dungeon out of order.
Just an off-topic rant on that small final sentence, obviously the water is part of the world.
