Fantastic "big picture" map for planning your Zelda adventure
My five star rating for this map has less to do with its accuracy or functionality as a map and more to do with the fact that I absolutely love the concept and that it was clearly a massive amount of work. Dave at Knerdcraft, I salute you. This is map is a beautifully understated mashup of the land of Hyrule in “Breath of the Wild” and the U.S. National Park maps familiar to lovers of the American outdoors.<br /><br />There are a few minor flaws in the map — “Lantern Lake” is listed as “Latern Lake” and at least one shrine is missing. However, I try to think of it less as a nitty-gritty reference map (there are plenty of those online) and more of a big-picture plan-my-next-move tool. To that end I now have the map mounted in a lightweight plastic frame so I can grab it quickly (the 16x20 inch size is just large enough without being too large) and pore over it as I ponder my next objective and what obstacles lie in wait.<br /><br />Once I finish the game (which might be a while), I expect I’ll transfer it to something more stately and find a place to hang it.<br /><br />I really like having a paper map to use in conjunction with BOTW and I’m so glad this one exists.
