Aonuma also stated how he wants to keep the open-air formular as a standard for later Zelda games. Unless he scraped this idea somehow to make a mix out of open air and linear progression, I don't think they'll stop following the open air concept of BotW. At best they will restrict it to some...

What's that supposed to mean? Genuinely asking because I'm not a native speaker. I agree with absolutely everything. That's why I was disappointed that Nintendo got rid of a lot of item-progression in BotW and rather focused on stat-based-progression or just pure exploration. At least I hope...

That's true but as I said, the maps in Dark Souls are like incredibly large dungeons themselves, finding many ways to connect the maps even further. It is linear but also like an open-world - you can choose whenever you take the usual route or to use the shortcuts on a map. Yep, that's the...
