I am interested. Lemme get something straight, thought: This takes place after Wind Waker, but the flood waters have receded? Does that mean that the reclaimed land is dotted with ruins from old Hyrule/Termina/other lands?

Pretty much to the point I see?
And I am not "spoiling" that. (TAKE THE HINT XD )

For all you know, they are repopulated. 

But yes; after wind waker, bit less cartoonish here, more focused on hardships and discovery, and what you choose to do with those discoveries.

However, there is also new nu-discovered areas.
