Current Events > Trees in BOTW 2 in the same place as in the first game

There's a couple of things missing from the mountains though.

You explore the same city in...8 Yakuza games at this point. While I will be disappointed if the world is basically the same, it's not like it is the first game to reuse a large map with some updates.

I feel like instead of making a BOTW 2, they should have just made a new original Zelda, but just kept the same style of map and exploration that BOTW did.

I mean that's what Zelda games in the past did. Link's Awakening was the same style as Link to the Past because it worked great, but it's not like it took place on the same exact map with little changes. Twilight Princess was the same style as Ocarina of Time, but it was also a completely new world and story.

Why couldn't they do that here? Just make a whole new Zelda but keep the same style as BOTW.

I love Yakuza, but its city is a hub world. BoTW's unique feature was that the main gameplay was the literal exploration of its world, dealing with the geography and the elements. So I share people's fears that a lot of the thrill will be gone the 2nd time around, but I still trust Nintendo will throw in plenty of interesting stuff.

You're assuming quite a bit here by saying it's the exact same map with little changes

Its a direct sequel. Doesnt take place a lot of years in the future. So the map will be exactly the same if not made bigger with more towns and sky islands/islands for the sake of being a sequel. Unless were going to another land in a direct sequel you cant expect a different map.

Im hoping Nintendo understands this and has done something to make an overworld thats new and exciting to explore. Adding a few underground caves and lake beds isnt nearly enough.

That's the point of exploring the sky which stretches across the continent. You have a brand new world to explore literally on top of the old one. And they can still redesign the old world and expand upon it to show each of the villages' growth over the past 2 in game years. You can bet Tarrey Town is going to expanded into a full blown village.

Because the irl sky totally correlates to a video game sky with a full-on sky world. Right.

because if it's not empty it's not sky.

That island in the sky? It's an island in the sky, it's not the sky. If you run through a field, you have land, grass, rocks, holes, ponds, mountains to climb, trees to chop down, etc. In the sky you.... fly, that's it.

I mean are we gonna get dungeons tho

This is like complaining that Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 have the same map as the original. No shit, it's a direct sequel.

That came out 1.5 years later. This is 5-6 years later.

GTA did this and people praised the games

That came out the following year.

Like I'm sure this will be great but after 5+6 years in certainly concerned why this isn't an entirely new map. Usually games like this have a shorter development time. It's entirely possible this will end up longer than what BOTW got and that was clearly delayed to launch with Switch.

How else would they reuse assets then?

This is the real question, honestly. I hope it does.
