That may sound small, but for context it takes like 20 seconds to run from one end to the other for most medium sized routes and only like 1 minute for bigger cave systems.
The Wild Area alone is like 5 times bigger than most average routes and we still have regular routes in the game.
Also, the weather will change in the Wild Area to promote revisiting it.
It's plenty as a first step.
