Quote: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.
I don't think so, but that doesn't matter.
Quote: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).
Look, you lost the argument so now you're changing it like you always do. Seriously man, just give it up! You lost! You didn't think that the first set of shots were to scale because the trees in the LA map were smaller than the Lttp's map, and then after I showed you that the Lttp trees really are bigger than the LA trees, you changed your argument because you can never admit that you're wrong. I'm using facts to back up my argument, while you're using opinion.
Quote:I'm not insulting LttP... its a great game! The world just doesn't feel as large to me. Thats all.
This argument isn't about which world you "feel" is larger. It's about which one actually is bigger!
