Huh.  That's interesting.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Apparently, yeah.  Two 16x8 grids, to save space.

What are we looking for? That vaguely swastika-ish conglomeration in the upper right?

Or is this just an "oh hey, here are all the map tiles" picture.

I'm just wondering because the latter has been done many times before.

I can't tell if you're making fun of me for being an idiot or not. It would make it pretty easy to write a subroutine to move between rooms if they're organized into a arrays like that.

... Though, I'm not sure what shenanigans you'd need to do to make the lost whatever it was work. ... I don't think I ever really played the original Zelda. I started with Adventure of Link.

The fact that they built the maps to interlock nicely into each other like that while still keeping the famous shapes.  As pointed out, it's a rather ingenious way to get around the kooky limitations of the EPROM architecture.

It also kind of implies that there really is a homogenous underworld that exists beneath the overworld, and not just a bunch of floating disconnected dungeons.  Or at least it would if the underworld entrances even began to correspond with the overworld ones.

Kind of get the feeling they were originally going for Megaman Legends' "one giant dungeon" scheme, but just couldn't pull it off with the technology that they had.

That seems to be the effect implied by the original manual illustrations, i think.

Kind of wish they would make a legends-style Zelda game instead of the constantly-reiterated "zelda formula" they've been doing -- i can't bear to play their games anymore even though i am aware they're pretty good.

(also it's the good swastika there, not the nazi one)

I'd like a Zelda built like Metroid, but I guess that's just Metroid, really.

I didn't really understand what boycott meant when I was 13, either.

Found this on Facebook. Which, apparently, is the new 4chan? I need to go sit down.

A little out of place, I know, but I just saw the ad and it made me laugh for a good thirty seconds in spite of myself.

If you somehow don't get the joke, here's a link to where Shamus Young links to his escapist column where he explains it.

I've had that bookmarked for like a year, it rules. I still need to actually make those, when i have money to throw away on crap like that.
