| 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

| vice city showing all the locations of stuff.
|
| Anyway, thanks for the memory and cool map :)

| 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!
