Cross-Stitched Koholint Island Map

Today on Reddit, user Kanthia posted a series of pictures showing off a cross-stitched map of Koholint Island from the game, Link’s Awakening that they made over the summer of 2010. The pictures show the progression from the initial outline of the map to the full-color, finished product. I found that when I compared this to a real map of Koholint Island, it was a very simple representation. Many of the details had been left out and the scale of the map in general was smaller. However, considering it was handmade, the detail that did go into it is pretty outstanding. Overall, people seemed to enjoy it and many were offering Kanthia money in hopes of purchasing one for their own. Unfortunately, this map is not for sale. To get a better look at all of the pictures and to hear more of my thoughts, make the jump.

When I was younger, my mother always wanted me to do crafty things and she was always trying to teach me how to do them. The only one I ever liked was cross-stitching. Of course I was no where near good enough to make a replica Koholint Island map. I think that Kanthia did an amazing job. Although it is on a smaller scale, you are still able to distinguish everything and tell the difference between the locations on the map. I can only guess that this took them awhile to make, especially since the final product is in full color. It is unfortunate that these aren’t for sale anywhere. I think many people, including myself, would buy these either for their collection or just because they love the game.

What are your thoughts? Do you think this cross-stitched map represents Koholint Island well? Is there anything that could have made it better? If they were to go on sale, would you buy one? Tell us in the comments!
