While looking at the BotW map something occures to me that I'd never really thought of before...
The right side of the map of Hyrule is coastal and leads off into an ocean. The left side of the map seems to back on to more land mass, which is to be expected. But it got me wondering of Hyrule has always been coastal.
Obviously the likes of OoT and TP didnt have coasts and gave the sense that Hyrule was a rather land-locked Kingdom.
The earlier Zelda games had coasts though, so did we just not see them in TP and OoT and any other game that didnt have it?
I know its down to whatever Aonuma wants to do, and Hyrule being a coastal kingdom or not isnt really important but do you think it adds anything for Hyrule to be a coastal kingdom?
And another more interesting question, has the kingdom of hyrule moved around over the years, or pushed out its borders as it prospered?
