You cannot deny that LttP's light world is 8x8 screens. While LA is 16x16. Yes, the screens are smaller... but that's not the point...
Look. A GB screen is smaller than a SNES screen. True.
However... I didn't say physical size, I think, I said screens.
And LttP has two 8x8 (screens, not zones) worlds. That is 128 screens.
LA has one 16x16 screen world. That is 256 screens.
Yes, LttP has larger screens.
But LA has twice as many of them.
Oh, and LttP fills a lot more space in those larger screens with larger obsticles -- lots of empty space, trees four times larger, etc. so its only saying part of the story if you say "more physical space". The fact that LA has twice as many screens matters a lot too. Though both are decent sized... LTTP just feels small, with only 8 screens to cross to get all the way across the map...
