Summary - A player has used the Maps and Strategies pamphlet included with the original Legend of Zelda to mark areas of interest and sketch out parts of the game world intentionally left off the map. Rather than purely improvising these areas and enemies, the player has adapted the style and format of the sprites included in the pamphlet creating continuity between the designers' representation of Hyrule and their own. Certain quadrants of the map also contain circles, Xs, and other shapes to likely indicate places for further investigation.
