Thanks, Mikey. Any idea why you might not feel opposed to it? You’d miss out on the discovery of new areas, but perhaps it could be exciting enough to explore recontextualised areas.I don't think I've ever really played two games with the same overworld but my gut tells me I wouldn't really be opposed to it; I think the world design of botw is for the most part good but it could use some fine tuning to feel less empty and less vertical
Suppose they did revamp the whole map with a huge underground labyrinth-type world, would you be happy with this, given it’s all without sky? Personally, I found the underground layers in other games interesting, but unenjoyably claustrophobic after too long. As I mentioned to Mikey, perhaps there could be new settlements above ground too.
I hear what you say and that’s effectively what Alttp did with the dark world (albeit transforming the land instead of going under it). I guess the main question is would you be happy not venturing outwards to new places? I’m kind of divided, like the feeling of going outwards to new places tells me I’m growing my territory, like I’m conquering new land. But to go inwards within the land is like I’m reflecting on my territory and settling. What do you think?I spent over a thousand hours exploring BotW's Hyrule and I still wouldn't mind it being in BotW2. What I personally want to see is an underground (which is kind of what the teaser is implying) that stretches all out under the overworld we already know, with pelnty of new stuff to explore under there, many exits leading back up to the surface, etc. And then I wanna see some reconstruction on the surface. Towns rebuilt, ruins renovated, etc. I think it would be really cool to explore the reconstruction of Hyrule on the surface while adventuring in the dangerous dark underbelly.
Going out of Hyrule *would* be cool, but as things stand, there isn't a reason to. As much as I'd love to see them do that, they're still trying to tell a story that takes place *in* Hyrule, so I really dont expect to be able to leave its borders.I hear what you say and that’s effectively what Alttp did with the dark world (albeit transforming the land instead of going under it).

But would you feel like you missed out on the territory-expansion aspect if it was only about settling into the established area?Going out of Hyrule *would* be cool, but as things stand, there isn't a reason to.

No, because I'm not expecting it and there isnt a reason to.But would you feel like you missed out on the territory-expansion aspect if it was only about settling into the established area?
