Description
Hey, look: it's another vector map. I certainly make a lot of iterations of Hyrule, don't I? Thought I'd share; might add texture similar to those I added to my Era of Sky I map from 2013.You can learn more about my thoughts on this piece by checking out my blog here

Interesting, but I feel that, due to its northern position relative to the Sealed Temple/Temple of Time/Sacred Grove (which is confirmed to be the same place), the hole left behind by Skyloft's ascension would more likely have become TP Lake Hylia.
I don't know if I trust the scene at the end of the game where the Isle of the Goddess falls down right in front of the Sealed Temple; in the game itself, as shown by this map: oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/w… , flying south from Skyloft to the hole above Faron Woods takes a while; not too much time, but enough that Skyloft's current position would be further to the north of the Sealed Grounds.
Out of curiosity, where did this map c3.eb-cdn.com.au/website/video… come from?

Welcome, and thank you for sharing! Let me start by agreeing with you to a point: that is, Lake Hylia in TP is the very same as OoT and SS's Skyloft ascent. I know it doesn't look exactly the same, but small inconsistencies are clearly chocked up to creative license & vision of those making the game models at the time. The Land of Hyrule is not real, and therefore, while the general ideas/locations/peoples remain similar, they are never exactly alike between each game entry. And of course, the general consensus indicates that the Sealed Grounds/Temple of Time/Sacred Grove is south of Lake Hylia, just as Hyrule Castle is north of Lake Hylia. The only outlier to this pattern is so far occurs in OoT, where it's Temple of Time is built north, in Caste Town; TP's "retcon-esque" game designs move it where it should belong, south of Lake Hylia.
Second, you're right: we cannot be certain that the Isle of the Goddess fell straight down. And likely it did not: it is shown to rotate like a corkscrew, and we lose sight of it as it descends into the thick cloud layer. So, if it can rise/lower vertically, and rotate, why not also move laterally? As you say, there is a bit of a distance, but it isn't quite so far as to exclude this lateral movement in the isle's descent to reach it's final destination.
Lastly, the map you see at the link is one distributed by Hasbro (officially licensed by Nintendo) included in their The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition Monopoly game & their Collector's Puzzle. These items were distributed within the last year give or take a few months. I highly recommend the puzzle; I plan to mount mine in a frame and put it up on my wall.
There you have it! I hope that my responses sufficiently answer your questions; let's talk again soon. I never turn down an opportunity to enjoy a healthy banter about theories, or reminisce about Zelda/Pokémon/other gaming moments. Cheers!
