Description
Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker all in one convenient map!This is the cumulative work for a series of posts I created on my Legend of Zelda Theory blog, loruleanhistorian.tumblr.com . Any fans of my previous composite maps are sure to enjoy this one, I'm rather proud of it myself. Cheers!
EDIT#1: I've removed the dark teal overlay (representing the extent of the Great Sea) and opted for a simple outline. Also noticed that the inset for Lake Floria was off the mark considerably, so I corrected that too. Thank you, Terovian
EDIT#2: Rearranged the title, added a border for aesthetic purposes.
EDIT#3: Upon request, changed location pins for better viewing!

I am pretty sure that the Hyrule Castle of Ocarina and the one of Twilight are TWO different castle. I suspect the Twilight castle was build as a way to isolate the temple of Time so that no one would be able to find it afterwards and and a new Castle was build upper north. The completely different architecture style tend to confirm this. Old castle is in ruin in Twilight and remain close to the temple of time. It make a lot more sense and might simplify your map unification, imo. Are you still working on a new one ?

Good map but area 1 is only TP hyrule castle, OoT Hyrule Castle would be at 4. Sorry about being "That guy" this is better than anything I can do.

Ah, but the Temple of Time/Hylia as well as Castle Town overall is nearly always depicted south of Hyrule Castle; there is quite a little jaunt that is seen but not travelled in OoT, so it could very well be that TP castle and OoT castle are one and the same. In the Child Link timeline, Hyrule Castle was warned & therefore likely not destroyed by Ganondorf unlike it's Adult Link timeline counterpart, so there's that to think about too.
Always fun to theorize & debate with fellow fans!

So you think the TP castle town was built after the temple of time was swallowed by the lost wood, which is why its now so close to the castle itself, not a new castle, but a new castle town?

That's essentially what I am running with, yeah.

I like the idea of Eldin Valcano being Snow Peak, it makes a lot of sense and explains what happens to the Mogmas.

Much appreciated, thanks! Are you suggesting, then, that the Mogmas evolve… into the Yeti?

They do appear to have pretty thick tails. Coincidence?? I like your way of thinking.

Could you make a numbers a different color than white if you can, I can't seem to find some landmarks.

Thank you for your feedback! I can definitely do this, expect an update ASAP.

So what program did you use to make this? I've been thinking of making a Hyrule map like this one, but with the locations from the other games in it.

Hello there, thank you for your question! I used Adobe Illustrator CS5 to trace the vector outlines of each region/location mini map, and compiled those individual vectors together to achieve the result you see here.
If you plan to start on your own project, I would very much like to see it. Just send me a link! Cheers my friend, and happy mapping!

This is by far the most thought-out map I've seen on this subject, and you should be commended for your hard work!
My one comment is that perhaps the green/blue overlay showing the extent of the Wind Waker map is a bit too dark? It makes it a little too hard to differentiate the colours underneath, and as far as I can tell there's no benefit to marking the WW boundaries so solidly when a paler overlay would probably do, if not just a simple border.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. I'll try it without the overlay and see how it looks.
