DISCLAIMER: This is merely a post inferring the size of Zelda U.
Recently, Aonuma stated Zelda U's game world will be as big as the Wii U can handle, continuing a trend of comments that suggest the new entry in the series is going to be absolutely massive. A few months back, he stated that the game world would be roughly the size of Kyoto, which spans about 300 sq. miles.
At first, I shrugged, thinking 300 sq. miles wasn't all that large. But that was before I curiously looked into the size of Skyrim, a game most people will agree is pretty massive.
Skyrim's game world spans about 37 sq. miles, which is pedestrian in comparison to 300. So, the question begs to be asked: Is Zelda U *really* going to be almost 10x larger than one of the largest game worlds ever?
Of course, we have to take this with a grain of salt until something specific is stated. But with that being said (worries of a barren game world, aside), Zelda U's shaping up to be one of the most massive video games ever created. Thoughts?
