Mario Golf is out now

That has got to be the dumbest thing I've heard from you in a long, long time. So LA's world is bigger because there are more grid spaces than LttP's, even though each one of LttP's grid spaces is over eight times the size of LA's??!

Uhh... the size of LttP grid spaces seems to vary depending on which zone you are in... or is that wrong? But it seems like it.

That screenshot I posted doesn't even cover an entire grid space in LttP. If you had played the game you would know that each grid space is larger than the screen itself, and you know when you've gotten into another grid space when the camera shifts Link to another space, just like it goes in LA. The two maps I posted are to scale, but since you're so damn stubborn I'll post another two maps, although this time I'll blow up the LttP map and keep the LA map pretty clear, but Link's size with be the exact same in both maps so it will be to scale!

Look. It is physically larger. But once you factor in the other things I mentioned -- larger terrain features, 4x larger trees, etc, etc -- that size "advantage" becomes much, much less. LttP has more physical territory but gameplaywise... it just isn't that clear. Factor in the size differences between things and I bet it suddenly wouldn't look as clear that LttP's gameplay world is bigger in a gameplay, and not just direct look, way...

The Light World. You wander around about 2/3 of that area right at the beginning with not much opposition... actually its closer to OoT in that respect -- a more open, less challenging field in that part. Yes, the Dark World defintely gets harder... but still...

Oh, and because of the difference in level design and size of stuff those "8x larger zones" lose a fair part of their size advantage...

And because of the game design it feels large in LA. Yes, LttP's feels big too.... but just not in the same way, not when you can access so much of it relatively early on in the game...

LA also has you go through many areas of the game in your travels due to the world design while often in LttP it feels like you go to one corner, get whatever you need to do there, then don't return there and go back to the central area (with a really, really big castle filling up a lot of space).


I'm not insulting LttP... its a great game! The world just doesn't feel as large to me. Thats all.
