New Zelda Scans: 2 to 3 times bigger than OOT

[Dark Jaguar]

That last statement, I think we can all agree to that GR. The question is if the two options are exclusionary.

Advances in technology allow for much bigger worlds by the way, but so far I"ve yet to see an advancement in programming tech that would make it easier to actually design a fully realized world like that. Shortcuts like redundant things and randomly generated areas are the only things so far, and those aren't all that good. So far the only solution is to actually have human beings work through and actually work out how to get all the complicated puzzles and sequences working correctly without any exploits or just plain bad design that makes some impassable wall. Now, as always, the more complicated the game is in any real way the more work is required by human beings. It'll take developing something at least close to true computer intelligence (once it's real, it isn't artificial) to reduce that need.
