The Wind Waker has a strange way for instilling a feeling of insignificant smallness. Its world is incredibly colourful in its environments and characters. The challenges that it presents are fresh and, at times, tax the mind given the items you have to work with.
But the Great Sea is just so great. Every square on your sea chart has something on it, some island or village, or enemy ship-riddled reef, but the Great Sea is so empty. Empty in a way that the skies around Skyloft could never hope to be.
In its own quiet way, the size of the overworld in The Wind Waker, and the vastness of the waters upon it are a testament to the power of the gods of Hyrule. Those floods they sent were truly torrential, and those mountain top havens were truly lofty. Also, the mountains must have been quite neatly spaced apart, but that's more a matter of design necessity than anything real.
