This 3D Printed Map Of The Original Legend Of Zelda Is Incredible
A talented fan has 3D printed a replica of the original Legend of Zelda's overworld map after meticulously building it in Minecraft.
The map, pictured above, took six months to build in Minecraft and 24 hours to print. The last touches included painting the map, which took six hours. The piece, according to Retro Gaming Mag, was sold through a closed Facebook group to its new owner Willard McFarland for $100.
You can view more images of the detailed map below.
