Breath Of The Wild "street view" lets you explore Zelda maps without worrying about Lynels
The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild’s massive map is now open for exploration. No sword, ocarina, or glider required
Want more Hyrule but can’t wait for Breath Of The Wild 2? You’re in luck. Now you can explore Link’s infamous stomping grounds without a Switch.
Last week, a computer science student who uses the YouTube handle Nassim’s Software released a three-dimensional viewer of various Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild locations, like Google Maps Street View. For the most part, the website works as you’d expect. Click a spot on the map and be treated to a first-person, 360-degree look of that area in Hyrule. If you’ve ever used Street View, using Nassim’s site will be a breeze. More importantly, you can take in some of the absolutely gorgeous sights that Nintendo’s designers achieved with the game.
Not every area of Hyrule is available on the site, though. Still, if you’ve ever wanted to take a closer look at Hyrule Field, the Great Plateau, or the Zodobon Highlands, you’ll be able to zoom around to your heart’s content. Nassim also made the site open for submissions, so you can also go through the tedious creation of a Google Maps Street View version of the Castle Town Ruins.
