Map: Difference between revisions

'''Maps''' play a major role in guiding [[Link]] through [[Hyrule]] and beyond.

A mini-map is visible in the top-left corner of the screen at all times. In the overworld, this is a simple grey box with a dot identifying Link's position.

The full [[Light World]] map is available to Link from the start of the game. While in the [[Dark World]], it is replaced with the map of that world, also in full.

Once the [[Flute]] is obtained and the flying bird is awakened; playing the flute in the Light World will offer eight points on the map which it will take you to.

The Select button map is unlocked screen-by-screen as Link visits them, as explained by the [[Auto Map and Memo Guide Book]] book in the [[Library]]; although a full version is available in the Library's [[Atlas of Koholint Island]], to view on any visit.

The map in the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|2019 remake of ''Link's Awakening'']] works somewhat differently - rather than being unlocked one screen at a time, it is unlocked in much larger areas as Link enters them, similar to ''Ocarina of Time''. More options are also available, including multiple zoom levels, and using it to select a place to [[warp]] to when touching a warp point (which replace the [[Warp Hole]]s of the original) or playing [[Manbo's Mambo]].

The pause-screen map is unlocked area-by-area. At the start of the game, only [[Kokiri Forest]] is visible, and the rest must be unlocked by visiting those areas. A mini-map showing Link's position in the current room or area is always available in the bottom-right of the screen, except in areas which require a [[Dungeon Map|dungeon map]] and [[compass]] that have not yet been obtained. This can be turned off with the L button.

The map of each individual area of [[Termina]] must be purchased from [[Tingle]]. Until this is done, the area will not show up as either a mini-map, or as part of the pause screen map.

On playing the [[Song of Soaring]], each unlocked [[Owl Statue]] will appear on the map as it stands as a place where Link can [[warp]] to.

[[File:World Map - TPGCN.png|256px|right|GameCube version]]

As with earlier Zelda titles, the map object is split into a mini-map, viewable on screen at most times, and a full-screen map which can be viewed while gameplay is stopped.

''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD|Twilight Princess HD]]'' in standard mode and the [[Nintendo GameCube]] version of the game have the map with Peak and Gerudo Provinces on the western side; but the [[Nintendo Wii|Wii]] version had the entire map flipped west-east to allow Link to be right-handed, and ''Twilight Princess HD'' uses this orientation for [[Hero Mode]].

{{main|Sea Chart|section=Phantom Hourglass}}

The world map for ''Phantom Hourglass'' comes in the form of [[Sea Chart]]s which must be retrieved from the [[Temple of the Ocean King]] before the areas can be sailed to. In addition, island maps appear on the top screen when the islands are visited. Both can be annoated by temporarily switching them to the [[Nintendo DS]] touch screen and drawing on them.

In a reverse of the DS games, the map is on the touch screen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', while gameplay is on the top screen.
