Explore Zelda’s Hyrule in your browser

From The Verge:

A major part of the appeal of The Legend of Zelda series is its setting: Hyrule is a fantasy world that’s equal parts epic and charming. Venturing out into its open fields and finding all of its secrets is a huge task in the game, but now you can do it all from a web browser. A group of developers created a browser-based version of the map from A Link to the Past, so that you can pan across the beautiful, pixelated green fields and blue waters of the land of legend. It even has a bit of animation, so that you can see Chu Jellys wander around or just simply watch the waves bob up and down. And because it’s built in HTML5, you can also explore Hyrule from your phone.

Here’s a link to the map. Pretty cool. They’ve been swamped by web traffic, so if you find the site slow-to-load, bookmark it and try it again later.
