If your logic is "Play the Video Game instead of wanting a map from it", then a Hyrule Map makes just as little sense.
The idea behind a map is having a new terrain on which to build. If he wanted a Metroid Playertype, Weapon Pack, Vehicle Pack, and AI System, then the "Just play the game" quote would be appropriate. This is just a map idea.
I love this idea for a map, it has good atmosphere to it. I'm just wondering if any map maker would be able to capture it correctly.
