Quote from Aonuma:
"We got a lot of feedback from the gameplay footage shown at last years game awards saying that the ove world seemed a little empty. Well we've been working hard to fix this problem. Remember the apple trees we mentioned? Well, our team has been working hard to fill the over world with many more kinds of fruit trees. You won't be able to move for all the trees. There are pear trees, orange trees, cherry trees and even coconut trees. You can pick the fruit and even eat them. Don't worry though, that's not the only change. we're adding the fruit picking Link Amiibo which adds more kinds of fruit trees and give Link a new outfit just for fruit picking. Keep believing in us, love you guys, bye xoxoxo"
