10 Ways Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Was Almost Completely Different

4. Villages Of Tiny People

As something of a nod to the Picori from 2004's The Minish Cap (or a continuation of them, being designer Hidemaro Fujibayashi was also the director on the game), Breath of the Wild had plans to include an entire race of tiny people, replete with tiny villages and pint-sized quests.

Link would've reportedly shrank down to interact with them, possibly leading to exploring the rest of the world from the perspective of an ant, though as the rest of the game's systems came together, it was eventually scrapped.

Fujibayashi seems incredibly passionate about the idea in the Making Of footage, so perhaps it'll be part of the 'map expansion' we're going to see in upcoming DLC packs?
