Famed producer of The Legend of Zelda, Eiji Aonuma, has briefly spoken about the scale of the environment in the next Zelda title for the Wii U. Aonuma says that when he thinks about the scale of the world within Zelda Wii U he always thinks of Kyoto

Mr. Aonuma: “In terms of the scale of the new Zelda world on Wii U, I always think of Kyoto as my base. Do you know Kyoto?”
