The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s map is massive
In terms of sheer scale, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is looking to be the most ambitious entry in the series. During their exclusively Zelda focused presentation at this year's E3, Nintendo revealed that Breath of the Wild is roughly 12 times larger than the map in Twilight Princess.The demo shown at the event primarily focused on one of the game's locations known as the Great Plateau, which featured large fields, enemy camps, and shrines. The area only represented 1% of the game's total size, according to IGN. If these reports are true, Breath of the Wild could make even Wind Waker's Great Sea look like a puddle.
