There are two versions of the map for Twilight Princess, both largely identical in all but one respect - they are flipped on the West-East axis:

  • The originally intended orientation was used for the Nintendo GameCube release of Twilight Princess, and later for standard mode in Twilight Princess HD on the Wii U
  • The horizontally-flipped orientation was used for the Nintendo Wii release of Twilight Princess, as it was felt Link should be right-handed when using the Wiimote, as most players are right-handed. It was later also used for Hero Mode in Twilight Princess HD to provide an additional challenge.

Twilight Princess pages on Zelda Dungeon Wiki were originally written (and in some cases, titled) according to the Wii release. After the release of Twilight Princess HD, some pages were changed to match the newly-restored original orientation, but not all, leading to an ongoing inconsistency. This project aims to resolve this issue by standardising on the GameCube/TPHD orientation for major directions, including page titling - with Eldin Province (including Kakariko Village) in the east, and Desert & Peak Provinces to the west - and Wii/Hero Mode orientation noted in (brackets) within articles where needed. Pages may also be rewritten to be direction-agnostic, where possible.
