Reply to comment by Kengfatv in The Zelda community is the only gaming community to defend such a lazily designed map for a sequel by Prince_Targaryen

Wouldn't make much sense in context, given that it's called Tears of the Kingdom, which is what the first map was.
>They could have given us the entirety of the old one, and 50% more to explore.
It looks like we have the original map plus a bunch of floating islands and such. So probably more to explore.
>There's a lot you can expect, when they expect us to be paying the same price for the sequel as we did for the original. Yet they feel they can put less work in.
Again, though, how do you actually know that if you've not played it? You don't know what's on the map, or above it, or under it. You don't know what has or hasn't changed.

if there was more to show, they'd have shown more than phasing through ceilings, and a single floating island.
Was BOTW your first zelda? There is so much more to hyrule than what we got. They could have given us a twilight realm version of the entire map.

Yes, because games that try to encourage exploration love to show you the entire map in the trailer.

Oh, my sweet summer child.

How do you know? At various points this world floods, flies, falls apart etc etc so it's clearly subject to major changes. After a world-ending cataclysm we have no way of knowing what survived.

Games that try to encourage exploration normally show you that there's anything to explore.

Like floating landmasses newly arrived in the sky, for example?

Sure, if there's an entire hyrule sized area worth of them. but it looks like it's more like a skyloft sized area to explore. I'd pay 10$ for that as a DLC for BOTW.

Alright. You seem pretty determined that you know the map will remain unchanged, so I'll stop trying to bring logic into this.

The entire reveal cinematic and multiple shots in the trailers also take place below ground.
Fact is we don't know shit about the world just like we didn't know shit about anything off the Great Plateau before BotW released.

They didn't show much of anything before BotW launched. Almost all of the gameplay footage was from the Great Plateau plus some establishing and action shots off of it.
