Eh for all we know, the beginning portion of the game could take place in the BoTW's Hyrule.
The castle could move to a complete new location thereafter.

The old map is obviously going to change. The Castle area alone is definitely not gonna be the same, and I'd bet other areas will suffer similar fates since who knows how vast that underground network truly is
And they could very well expand some of the map boundaries too (like towards the West)
Disappointing.
The greatest feature of BoTW was the sheer joy of exploring the map.
I mean , it's a direct sequel so obviously it's going to be in that world. That doesn't mean Hyrule itself will be the exact same.
But.The population has been rebuilding since calamity Ganon was defeated. It will be completely different.
Third time technically. But Zelda 2 recontextualizes the first game's map as a small part of a larger world, while ALBW reuses the same map as a 22 year old game, as opposed to a 2 year old one.The Zelda series is no stranger to direct sequels. majora's mask, phantom hourglass, spirit tracks, are all direct sequels. But this would be the first time they've ever reused a world map.
But it's not shitty.Oh boy. Another game with that shitty weapon break system. Damn.
People seriously think it's just going to be a copy-paste of the BOTW map?
How do you get that from anything that was saidOh boy. Another game with that shitty weapon break system. Damn.
Oh boy. Another game with that shitty weapon break system. Damn.
Did you find and complete all shrines?I still don't understand how people spent 200+ hours in Hyrule unless they really were going for all the Koroks. I explored every single area and beat the game in like 60-80 hours.

Your interpretation of something that was said started this mess.
That isn't a selling point to me. The BotW map was shallow. Tons of open space with nothing interesting. Zelda games have done it better before.
My interpretation is reasonable, unless Aonuma meant the same universe as BOTW, which I've already conceded could be equally valid.Your interpretation of something that was said started this mess.
