I like the idea of zooming and I like the idea of having little "lost 
items" here and there in the wilderness.  So how about making the whole 
world the same scale and let the user zoom when ever they want. Also make 
the zoom a "zoom" of space and time, so when you are on the normal map 
one step takes one unit of game time.  When you zoom to the 2x map one 
step on the 2x map is the same as 2 steps on the 1x map and it takes 2 
time units.  With the ablity to zoom on the fly you can walk around town 
to where you have to be without wasting the gamers time.

Check out Lucas Arts Tie-Fighter, it has a time multiplyer in it.  If you 
zoom time and space seperatly that would work as well.
