Which then came up the question of did I draw them. I did literally in 1996 way before I had a PC\/Photoshop, or the internet; just me, the SNES and a copy of A Link to the Past on the map screen on a 19&#8243; CRT television. Each one took about 2-3 hours to do so the poor TV and SNES got a workout for just showing off 2 screens basically. The interesting part is they both were drawn on small pieces of notepaper and taped together, and strangely they&#8217;re almost identical in size. Both have been laminated by my dad a few days after they were completed.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/Cartography\/LttP-Light-World.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[245]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/Cartography\/LttP-Light-World-Medium.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/Cartography\/LttP-Dark-World.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[245]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/Cartography\/LttP-Dark-World-Medium.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Ever since I did the Vana&#8217;Diel map, I&#8217;ve been wanting to do more maps; maybe one day they&#8217;ll get the remake that they truly deserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So a friend of mine started to play The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and we were discussing locations on one of the maps and I mentioned that I was having trouble thinking of a certain spot because I didn&#8217;t have my map in front of me.
