 ::::Hi! I'm new to this wiki, so forgive me if I'm not replying correctly. I freelance as a graphic artist, and as such, can design custom icons for you using the Zelda BoTW Sheikah Theme. They would look faithful to the game, as if they were unused textures. If you could provide me with a rough sketch, I could attempt to remake it, pixel-by-pixel, which is the only way I work. I find it produces much more desirable results. Anyway, if you'd like me to do some icons for you, I'm open to requests. (By the by, if I may suggest a feature of my own, I'm thinking maybe something like Google StreetView could be cool. I'm not a tech nerd, So I don't know if it's technologically feasible, but you could highlight points on the map, then players could provide in-game screenshots, which could then be knit together into a 360° image) Thanks! -[[User:Steets|Steets]] ([[User talk:Steets|talk]]) 04:26, April 2, 2017 (UTC)
 ::@Thortok2000, I think what Steets is proposing is exactly what I had in mind.  There's no reason any icons/pin types we add couldn't look stylewise authentic to the game.  In fact, they would have to or I agree, it would be a step backward. @Greymaria, my opinion a second map would create the need to be going back and forth and that doesn't sound desirable.

-:::Hello All! I went ahead and, In my free time, made a test icon, as an example of the work I'd do. I tried to stick with the monochromatic color scheme for it, but I am open to criticism. This icon: http://imgur.com/a/0M6Xv is supposed to be for the Stationary Guardian.(By the way, the weird four corners thing was my cursor I left on screen.) I'm working on a Stalker version.

+:::As long as icons aren't ugly, that solves that problem. But still; we're pretty much at the maximum amount of layers we can have without going into submenus and adding additional complexity to the legend to enable/disable even more layers. Definitely don't want to have a 2nd map. And the google street view thing is very unnecessary. Another site is already trying to do that if you want to help them out: it's gimmicky at best. Just play the game yourself and go there and get much better than a 360° view, seriously. =P
-::Steet, that looks like a great start! A question and a comment.  Is that the right resolution, as far as matching the other icons used on the legend?  May I suggest doing the guardian icons more in the style and coloring of the skull, bow and arrow, sword, etc.  Thanks for creating something so fast!

+In any event, probably would be better to discuss this in the #wiki channel in our discord. [[User:Thortok2000|Thortok2000]] ([[User talk:Thortok2000|talk]]) 04:25, April 3, 2017 (UTC)
-::: Hi! I'm not sure of the resolution of the icons on the map, but I do all my work on a scalable 128*128 palette. 256 is a bit too excessive for map tiles. If you'd like, I CAN color it similar to the bow and arrow etc. One counterquestion: Would you like the eye red to make it stand out a bit on the map, or should I just leave it the standard yellow/tannish? Best - [[User:Steets|Steets]] ([[User talk:Steets|talk]]) 21:15, April 2, 2017 (UTC) EDIT: I made one with a red eye, so it can stand out. It can be found here>>> http://imgur.com/a/u918Z It's in my standard of 128*128, and is in the new yellow stamp palette.
