"So there was something that the fans said before starting development that changed what I thought," Aonuma told Game Informer . "There was a fan that said he really, really loved Zelda. But while playing Skyward Sword, he missed experiencing this huge world where he could just ride Epona around," something Aonuma said the fan really enjoyed in Ocarina of Time."And somewhere within myself, I felt the same way," he added, noting that "for Breath of the Wild, it's something that I definitely thought about."When we spoke to Aonuma about Breath of the Wild's massive landscape last year at E3, he mentioned the series' prior installment, saying, "after Skyward Sword we really needed to develop a bigger world, but we've actually never done that. So a lot of it was trial and error, and we had to feel things out."
