Miyamoto on Open World Zelda, Future 3DS Ideas

I like it when you have no idea how much is left
Xenoblade fooled me many times

Hmm - I do hope Nintendo do run with the more pick-up-and-play vibe with The Legend of Zelda - am not thinking to the scale and depth of Animal Crossing, but definitely having more NPC involvement, deeper storylines and definitely sidequests.

I would love to see Nintendo create a stream of missions or quests (bit like Monster Hunteri n some ways), and really utilise the world beyond the post-credits screen - or even do away with it because the game wouldn't really end, in a traditional way anyway. Would have loved mission modes for TP, SS and especially Wind Waker - it'll help extend it beyond dungeons, twist, dungeons, final boss.

Here's hoping it's an actual open world and not  "something else" as Shig seems to be implying.
