The Legend of Zelda Collectors Puzzle

As a zelda product: I was wondering why it didn't list game it was from, then realized it's because it's not really from any single one, it's an amalgamation of a lot of different games. Some more obvious than others. An avid fan would absolutely love this for it's look, but there's a lot of confused head turning trying to place what each landmark is. In a way, it makes it more enjoyable to figure things out while completing it. Overall, while I thought I'd prefer one single map from one single game, I am glad it isn't and actually prefer this version.It looks great. First impression would be how difficult it is because of the lack of color. While that was a challenge, the darkening of the sides helped a lot, and there is a lot of background texture designs on inner pieces to help identify where they belong (sand/grass/various tree shapes). The pattern of the shapes and image itself is more helpful as a guide for completion, than just using colors for sure.That being said, the quality of the pieces makes this a bit of a pain. While a lot of pieces fit snugly and properly, there were also a lot of "false fits." I had to redo the top border twice because it seemed like it fit but it didn't match up. The border was definitely more challenging than most, so the misleading fits were pretty frustrating. Don't also expect to move large sections without support, and a frame/glue is required if you want to hang this.Even tho it's only 550 pieces (I prefer 1000+), it was still a challenging few hours to spend with my son (especially trying to place all the landmarks). There were times I had to walk away and stretch because all these yellow pieces with black squiggles started to blend... but I could absolutely see myself redoing this puzzle again, it was a lot fun and satisfying to complete.(also that little paper insert is a nice touch but it's so small that it's not very useful)

As far as puzzles go, this one is a gem. We have a beautifully rendered Hyrulian map that combines elements of the world from multiple games. The puzzle is indeed challenging due to the patinated look through seemingly many years of wear, use, and storage. The colors are grand and rich, which provide an excellent challenge in piecing together the various parts of Hyrule depicted.The drawing itself is quite masterful. As far as old, fantastical maps go, this is quite obviously the pinnacle of achievement. It looks much like an actual piece of parchment would had this been an actual, live map for use.The challenge is great, the image is starkly beautiful, and the size is nothing to scoff at, either. It is a decent size for a puzzle of this nature. It would provide an excellent hanging piece of fanart if so desired. However, it also provides a great deal of 'replay' value, if you will, if anyone so chooses to dismantle it and reassemble at their bidding.For puzzle lovers and Zelda lovers there is no other option than to purchase this beauty, especially at the very affordable price.

I have a thing for fantasy map puzzles, so as soon as I got wind of this one, I was on it. I was kind of bummed as it didn't have as many pieces as I'd normally like. However, the puzzle shapes and difficulty totally made up for the piece count. I have never seen puzzle pieces shaped like this. Some were so bizarre! It definitely added to the difficulty and excitement, though. Given that the puzzle is primarily all the same color, it took a bit of time and concentration, but never was I at a point where I needed to rage quit. Pleasant experience all around. It was literally impossible for family members to walk by without trying to squeeze a piece in here and there. Beautiful puzzle and great experience. We ended up framing it because it was too pretty to deconstruct!

I really enjoyed this puzzle. Since it's all the same color (only fades lighter and darker), it was more difficult than I originally thought. The black line-art is often in the crevice between pieces, which throws you off. I'm a die-hard Zelda fan and found this most rewarding. It's glued together and hanging on my wall now.The language on the puzzle is Hylian from Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess. "Hyrule Historia" has an English character translations, but you can probably also find them online.The map isn't from any one Zelda game. It seems to be an amalgamation of Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, Spirit Tracks, Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages, Wind Waker, and A Link Between Worlds. It also mimics a map from Hyrule Warriors (the design, not the layout). It's quite an enjoyable puzzle for any Zelda fan.

It's a map of Hyrule, and it looks very nice. It's a puzzle, and it's not very difficult to put together. I wish that it was more matte finished, rather than glossy, so that one glued together, it'd make a better framed presentation. Either way it's worth the cost for a Zelda fan.

My college son is a Zelda fan & very picky. He loved this puzzle & finished it in a day. Sturdy thick pieces, good cut pattern & challenging! I worked on it for a few hours myself. It’s a nice quality, value & fun! :)

It's a bit of a tricky puzzle, but really fun. My brother and I spent a few hours doing it. It's fun to find all the little details (and there are so many little details. A tiny goron here, a chest there, a tiny Link standing next to the great deku tree). A great addition to my puzzle collection!

If you are a fan of Zelda and you love a challenge, this map puzzle is it! Took us as a family about a week to get it completed. It is a chalking puzzle given that the colors are so similar and the pieces are quite similar too. Once it is together it is beautiful and worth framing!
