       | This is really cool! It isn't quite what I expected from the idea
       | of "street view" though; it definitely has a very full map, but
       | it seems like there are only a few specific spots where you can
       | actually see the world (i.e. the "street view" part versus the
       | "Google Maps" part), and it seems like there isn't any way to
       | move when in the "world" view compared to the "map" view. I'd
       | absolutely love to be able to scroll through the whole world like
       | I could in Google Street View, especially if it there were more
       | than one point in time to choose.

         | I clicked on Hyrule Field in Central Hyrule and I could click
         | on an arrow (not in "map" view) to follow a path.

       | Woah this gave me a memory flashback to around 2002 when GTA Vice
       | City came out. Some French guy made all-vice-city.fr.st (that
       | link doesn't work now). It was made in Flash and was a map of
       | vice city showing all the locations of stuff.
       | 
       | Anyway, thanks for the memory and cool map :)

         | This is one of the most fascinating websites I've seen. Both in
         | terms of the work put into it and the sheer fun of exploring
         | levels on your own terms.

       | I love the Apple TV screensavers that are basically beautiful
       | slow moving drone shots of landscapes, which you can get for Mac
       | too [1]. There are expansion packs too you can pay for, with 3rd
       | party videos.
       | 
       | And I kind of want the same thing, only of high-quality 3D
       | rendered landscapes! For me specifically, slow flybys over Red
       | Dead Redemption 2 landscapes, and also of real-life Microsoft
       | Flight Simulator locations. Producing such videos would save all
       | of the cost of real-life transportation, lodging, waiting till
       | sunrise/sunset, flying a drone... And instead of having just 40
       | videos on rotation, you could have 10,000's...
       | 
       | I don't have the time to build it, but it's a hobby project I
       | wish desperately that somebody would!

       | and the switch to street view leaves a blank canvas.
