I think this is something that can only happen naturally. And imposing numbers upon what you think there should be might do more damage than good.
@lostn: Nintendo will only use open world design to augment the game, not as a basis for a game. That kind of mistake is a Western developer's calling card.
@royal_oak_tree: The Wind Waker and Zelda II are about as different as Mortal Kombat and Need For Speed.
