As a seasoned gamer with decades of Zelda adventures under my belt, I must say, Jazza’s Hyrule map miniature is nothing short of breathtaking! It’s like stepping into the world of Link and Zelda themselves. From the iconic Kakariko Village to the towering Death Mountain, each detail is meticulously crafted, making it a testament to the artist’s passion for the series.


A YouTube content creator has expressed their affection for the video game series “The Legend of Zelda” by creating a miniature 3D model of Hyrule, the legendary kingdom. This famous realm serves as the setting for numerous Nintendo games within the “The Legend of Zelda” franchise, boasting various notable landmarks such as Hyrule Castle, Lake Hylia, the Gerudo territory, the Zora Domain, and many others.

Originating from the minds of Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka, the Legend of Zelda series is one of Nintendo’s iconic intellectual properties, boasting over 40 games revolving around Link’s quest to rescue Princess Zelda and protect Hyrule from Ganon’s malevolent plans. The latest installment in this renowned series is The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, which followed the massive success of last year’s release, Tears of the Kingdom. On its debut day, Echoes of Wisdom received an update to improve various aspects such as character models, map data, music, and cutscenes, addressing issues that were initially present.

In this YouTube video (28 minutes long) shared by Jazza, you’ll get an exclusive peek at his miniature replica of Hyrule. The video reveals that the map, spanning 2.5 meters square, is built on a foam foundation with intricate details brought to life using the Balmbulab A1 3D printer. Drawing inspiration from the maps in games like Echoes of Wisdom and A Link to the Past, Jazza shared that his project allowed him to acknowledge various Zelda game maps, such as the one from Ocarina of Time. Once all the models were printed, he painstakingly added personal touches by hand, including painting the colossal trees, resin rivers, and finally, adding a 3D model of Princess Zelda from Echoes of Wisdom.

The people on YouTube spoke highly of the artist’s work, saying it was more like a mini-version (a “maxiature”) rather than a small one (a “miniature”). They wondered where such a large model would be kept. One user suggested creating something similar based on the Pokemon Kanto region. Many viewers agreed that Jazza was the most imaginative and passionate person on YouTube. However, it’s not the first time Hyrule has been made using 3D printing, as another Zelda fan had recently created a replica of the map from “A Link to the Past” using 3D printing.

The map in “Echoes of Wisdom” is expansive, approximately eight times larger than that of “Link’s Awakening,” and it features well-known locations from the series such as Kakariko Village and the Faron Wetlands. In Jazza’s rendition of this map, he skillfully emphasized key landmarks, like Hyrule’s cemetery and the Death Mountain area, showcasing his meticulous craftsmanship.
