Oof. If I had taken one more day, this background would have taken one year longer than Death Mountain Crater took. Anyway...

You might notice that I took some liberties with this. In this spriting style, it's more or less impossible to have buildings that don't all face the same direction and have it look good, and every building in Castle Town faces inward to the fountain. It took me forever, but I finally found a solution in unwrapping it. Basically it still wraps around the fountain, which is why the Shooting Gallery appears twice and the fountain runs along the entire bottom.

So this has been my most absurd, difficult project so far, and I'm really not sure just yet how I'm going to follow it up. I'll take a little bit of a break and have a look at my long list of areas I haven't done yet. Whatever it is, I'll try my hardest to take less than a year to do it.

Update 11/11/18: Over nine years later, I finally realized that I only drew half of the Temple of Time. This has been corrected, and I'm so much happier with it now. It's fixed in the future map too, but I'm only sending out the one update notification.
