Check out the map. Do you remember seeing this particular landscape from the Legend of Zelda franchise? If you answered “no” you may be wondering if this is a sneak preview of the next release in the long-running series. If you answered “yes”, you are lying to yourself.

While the map definitely looks Link-esque, it is actually the city of Lethbridge in Canada, or at least what it looked like around the year 1987. This rendering was inspired by the 8-bit NES maps, particularly Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

The project was designed by Lawrence Krysack with the help of his friend Jarrett Duncan. It took them over two months to complete the rendering, which was then submitted to the “Drawn Into Action: A Community Mapping Project” at the Helen Schuler nature Centre.
