Breath of the Wild Interactive Map

We're hard at work improving the map's look and functionality, so we need your help gathering data points as you play through the game. Contributing is easy, though you'll have to create an account here at the wiki first.

Adding a Location

  1. Find the Latitude and Longitude. Click on the map and a pin will appear showing "Lat" and "Lng". You can drag this pin around to move it to the precise location of what you're adding.
  2. Edit the page for the type of location you're adding. See the list of pages below.
  3. Add a line with your data at the bottom of the page. See the template to use below.
  4. Save the page, refresh the map, and check that your pin appears correctly. Note that it may not appear on some zoom levels.

Definition of Terms in the Table Below

Regions are any text on the in-game map that is visible when zoomed all the way out. They will not match the names of towers, which are typically based off the most prominent nearby Landmark (see Landmark.) The Great Plateau is NOT a region, for instance, or even a subregion, neither is Dueling Peaks, etc. The goal is to have the interactive map match the in-game map as perfectly as possible.

For landmarks which share a name with a nearby tower, use the Tower's page as the 'region' for wiki purposes, listing all landmarks contained in that 'region' revealed by that tower, etc. (Example: Great Plateau Tower.) The main page for the landmark should focus only on the area immediately surrounding its text on the map. Refer to the tower for the entire surrounding 'region.' This will only apply to landmarks which share a name with a tower.

Subregions are any text on the in-game map that is visible after zooming in only once. Interesting side note, they are the names most commonly used in-game when referring to 'where to get' something, such as on equipment or materials.

Landmarks are visible at the third (and fourth) zoom level and are by far the most common.

MinorLandmarks are visible ONLY at the fourth zoom level (all the way zoomed in). MinorLandmarks are (so far at least) always additional locations for the names of bigger Landmarks that cover a large area (mountains, slopes, rivers, and lakes are prime examples.) The fourth zoom level is also the only zoom level Korok Seeds are visible at, in-game.

When adding a Korok Seed, refer to the in-game text closest to the icon of the seed to use as 'nearest landmark'. This will be subjective, which is fine, you don't have to get out a ruler and be exact. If you can't tell exactly which landmark is the closest, pick the one you think is best for the location of that seed.

Do not consolidate the seed lists of multiple landmarks onto one page (for instance, taking a tower/region and listing all the seeds in that entire region.) This will eventually be WAY too many seeds on one page. Feel free to list landmarks on a tower/region's page, but not their seeds. Seeds should ONLY be listed on the page for the landmark it is closest to, and nowhere else.

Any questions, please contact me (Thortok2000), or any other ZD staff. In general, anything you want to add is great, but don't change or remove what's already there without running it by ZD staff. Let's all be on the same page!

Have fun and thanks for contributing!

Popup Summaries

The contents of the popup windows come from one of two places. If there's an article dedicated to the individual location, the text is the first paragraph of that article.

If a location doesn't have its own article but is listed on a different article, it needs an ID (currently only Korok Seeds are supported), and the text is whatever appears in that article between the tags <section begin=IDsummary /> and <section end=IDsummary />, with ID replaced with the location's ID. See Great Plateau for example.

Linking an Article to the Map

There are currently templates to create links to Korok Seeds and Shrines that look like this:

Use them like this: {{Korok Seed|Seed001}} {{Shrine|0.9127|0.7014}}


Avoiding Edit Conflicts

There may be many people editing these pages at the same time which can cause conflicts. To avoid conflicts, don't leave the edit page open for too long. Just add one or two data points and save the page. If you want to enter several at once, put the data in a separate document (such as Notepad) and then copy it in. If a conflict occurs, copy the lines that you added, refresh the page, paste the lines back in, and save the page.
