phart010 | 1,778 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I just found a photo online where they are saying that the area at the southwest of Zelda 2 map actually represents the entire map of Zelda 1. I can see how that could make sense.. is this actually canon though? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 12,221 Administrator · Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I mean, it's pretty obvious that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Morbis | 2,116 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Well, to say that the Zelda 1 map is "part" of the Zelda 2 map is not really accurate in the least; I would say that there is an 'homage' to the Zelda 1 map clearly visible on the overworld of Zelda 2... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The story I heard was that Link grew up a few years between the games (from 12 to 16). So, the Zelda 1 map seems smaller in Zelda 2 since Link himself is bigger. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiseredux | 232 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 my first thought when looking at that pic was "what? No." But upon closer inspection, my mind is sorta blown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, that storywise, the part of the world that Zelda 1 takes place in located in that part of Zelda 2's overworld. The most notable giveaway is that it has Spectacle Rock in the same location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagusSmurf | 579 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 So where is Korodai located relative to Hyrule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,674 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) According to the manual for Zelda I, Zelda sent Impa out just before being captured, and Impa encountered Link soon after. Link can see Death Mountain from the forest where he found her. The first game probably just took place over a few days at most in the general vicinity of Death Mountain, while Zelda II appears to be a longer journey all over Hyrule.
