Only played the tutorial part, the equivalent of the great Pleateu, and a little bit more just to explore some specific things.

The map from BOTW has changed, Won't go into much details but one of the changes is there are caves now. I have no recolection at all of some zones in the map, and I'm sure I went to those areas in BOTW so that means some zones substantially changed. Some others though are basically the same.I must say even if the area is the same if they have NPCs they have new quests and all new dialog, the NPCs feel more "involved" now. It seems there's more to do.

The game is much bigger than I expected. All in all I'd say the map is about twice as big if not more. The main map is the same size but the sky islands are bigger than I thought. Most of them anyway, some are very very small and you'll only find a chest or something. The trailers show some underground areas. I will just say those are different than caves.



One last thing, In botw you help build a town. In this game it seems there will be more instances of you having a direct and lasting effect in the world. Not sure if you'll help rebuild towns specificaly or anything, didn't get far enough. But it seems you can...change some things in the world...

Basically, yes there is a way to save what you build however you don’t get the ability until later in the game. In my friends play through he actually didn’t get that far, but he started the quest to get it. Interestingly the quest doesn’t indicate you’ll get that so some people might miss it at first.

The rest I know from leaks from IGN Japan.

If you want to know the specifics of how the ability works (I won’t say where you get it):

+ Show Spoiler +

And for the record it hasn’t feel daunting. If anything I wish I had more access to parts but obviously you get more access as the game progresses.
