The Sky's The Limit

When you get introduced to the game, it seems really, really cool to have a giant pet bird to fly around on. Then you actually start flying around, and you realize that the only place really worth flying to is the one you started at because there is nothing else out there. Link has an excuse to go to the desolate corners of everywhere because he is on an ADVENTURE, but the average citizen doesn't have much reason to leave home.
