== The shape of the Zelda world ==

This is the first time we see in a Zelda game a phenomenon that indicates that the "earth" is a sphere, and not a flat area. In particular, when you approach an island, it "rises" from the sea and appears before you, a phenomenon that can be observed from a ship when it approaches land. This natural phenomenon occurs in the real world because the earth is a sphere. We didn't see that in Wind Waker, the islands didn't "rise", even the Tower of the Gods was visible from half the areas. But, the world the game takes place in disappears, or so it seems, at the end of the game, so we may not apply the "spherical earth" concept on Hyrule. However there are elements that make the game unrealistic. The sun doesn't move and the islands have different shapes when seen from the ship. So the "rising" effect might be an attempt to eliminate the fog or the pop up effect, and not an attempt to indicate that the "world" is spherical at all.[[User:Gomess 512|Gomess 512]] ([[User talk:Gomess 512|talk]]) 22:52, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
