We've been hearing for awhile now how the overworld and temples were going to be much more intertwined and connected (making it harder to distinction between the two). Well, from what I can tell, one way in which the developers are visualizing this idea within the game is that it seems like each temple may require some form of manipulation of the overworld (through puzzle solving most likely) in order to enter. The recent gameplay footage seems to suggest and show this happening at various times. Obviously, this is not necessarily a new thing within the Zelda series, and gaining entrance into the next temple/dungeon is not always a straight-forward thing, but what I am suggesting is that the temple/surrounding environment relationship may be much more intricate than what we've seen in the past.
Some Examples:
- During the quick shot of the Link swimming in the "Forest Area", you can see the Sky Temple down on the right hand side below the water.....this leads me to believe that we are going to have to figure out how to lower the water level in the surrounding area before we can gain entrance.
- It has been reported that in order to gain access to the Fire Temple we must retrieve broken pieces of a key that have been scattered across Eldin Volcano. This seems a bit too simple, and I'm guessing there may be a whole other level to this that we are not aware of yet.
- There is a quick shot of Link attempting to solve some sort of dial puzzle within a "Desert Area" that contains a water, fire, and lightning emblem. This is immediately followed by a shot of a large structure rising from the sand amidst a much larger and complex series of structures in a circular pattern. So I imagine that the dial puzzle is only the last step in a much more complex overall puzzle. The juxtaposition of these shots seem to suggest the unearthing of a temple as a result of this puzzle solving.
