The Legend of Zelda U - Epona has tree support!

[TomGuycott]

It's definitely more in line with the original Legend of Zelda, where you had to seek out major landmarks rather than being told where to go or which were available to you.

Although it seems like a lot of empty space, keep in mind they aren't really looking around TOO thoroughly. Deeper inspection will probably lead to various secrets. With a big world there's more room for that than ever.
