What changes were you expecting? It's set in the same place, not long after the first game. It was unlikely to have been gentrified and filled with artisan coffee places in the interim.

Obviously there are going to be differences in what things/monsters/adventures you find in what place, probably few ne locations and some changes made to existing ones etc etc, but expecting an entirely new map is just strange.

I'm assuming that since this game takes place post-Breath of the Wild, that the major draw based off one of the complaints I read online about BotW (aside from the vast, empty world of Koroks, and the lack of dungeons) was the fact that no one was rebuilding aside from Tarrey town.

My big hope is that Link is going to be running into loads of towns building back up and he'll have lots of side quests tied to ferrying resources back and forth. I'm hoping to see Hyrule returning to its glory. IF that's the case, then yeah don't mind and in fact EXPECT Nintendo to re-use the same map.

Players would revisit old locations and think "Oh yeah, this was that marshy, flooded town! Let's rebuild!" If it turns out it's desolate again then I'm just gonna sell the game on Kijiji once I'm done.

tbh I really don't care about the map as long as there is stuff to explore and find I'm fine.

and from what I've seen they changed everything at least a bit and the main game will play in the sky anyway.

thing I'm curious about the most are heartpieces and stamina upgrades since the shrines are gone so they'll propably have 120 new challenges/minidungeons/skyislands/whateveritscalled that will give you a sense of progression, so yeah, I think there is enough new stuff.
