I'm going to have to disagree. Why even implement a portion of Termina only to have the rest of it unaccessible?1) Look:
It's possible that Termina Field could be bigger this time as that is as big as it's supposed to be. The reason it's so small in MM is likely due to lack of time and system power limitations. Plus, if that Northwest part of the Zelda U map really is OoT Hyrule, then that only proves this to be more like the case as OoT Hyrule and MM Termina are about the same size in scale only except MM Termina may be a tad smaller, again, due to lack of time.
Also, just because some parts of the land aren't shown, doesn't mean there not there at all generally speaking. They might just be blocked off in this game for some reason. But that has to be Termina.
Plus, take closer look at my Omni Hyrule proof image:
Notice how I have the TP circle and the MM circle overlapping there? That's because the Ikana Valley/Canyon is in the same place where the Gerudo Desert is in TP. Proof:
Look above!

If this Omni Hyrule concept is accurate we're assuming that “Hyrule” is one giant landmass. The people migrate to different areas and rebuild around somewhat similar landmarks? There are tons of “Gerudo” deserts and Ganondorf was born in all of them? “He hails from a desert in the west” well there are like 5 deserts that used to be in the west so which are we talking about?
It makes more sense for this to just be Hyrule as we know it, but in a much larger scale. It could also be taking inspiration from the first LoZ game which is why ZWU's map resembles the map from that game (that doesn't mean we should assume it will be reboot of that game, or even on the same timeline as it. All it means is that the developers are drawing inspiration from that game in particular).
Assuming you might be onto something, and this concept might be accurate, that would mean ZWU's overworld will be really big, bigger than I was thinking. If each map from prior games is the roughly the same scale as it was in the games they orginate from we'll be spending countless hours just exploring.
