Not sure about some images

I think the premise of some images on this page is quite speculative. If the developers are designing the map layout, they would start with the terrain first, as the player reveals them. These are the ones I mean:

Early version Final version
Homeless fisherman A brand new house! Door not included

All it means is they drew the ground first, then put the house there later.

Early version Final version
Hope you didn't want to go back up there. Fine, here's your stupid shortcut.
Early version Final version
You should ride down in a barrel Who builds stairs on top of a waterfall?
Early version Final version
CHICKENS ONLY Stairs added for your convenience

In each picture, they would've drawn cliffs, then the stairs, then the water.

I don't plan on editing this page, but think it's worth noting to see if anyone else agrees.

The following change would make it more truthful

Due to the way rooms are set up in Link's Awakening, some older room layouts can be found. The old layouts are covered up with different tiles. These older layouts are hidden in all versions of the game.

  • change to

As the developers mapped out the terrain, they sometimes changed their mind and just overlaid different tiles instead of deleting them, these underlying tiles are revealed here.
