Description
Here's a plan view of a Zelda-themed map I created for Starcraft II Base design is of course inspired by the Light World from A Link to The Past.

Look for "A Link to The Craft" on Battle.net! Feedback is always appreciated via the sc2mapster community (name is The-Real-Link just like on DA).

Time to build was off and on for over a month, then several days of refinements in mid-2011. In particular, some of the changes compared to typical maps include richer resource defaults, destructable trees, special destructable temples as well as super-rich resource areas.

Gameplay is free-for-all (FFA) for up to 10 players / AI.

Bug-fixes from v 1.0 (original launch) > 1.1 (8-8-11):

1. Altered placement slightly of super resource temples.
2. Ensured super resources are not gatherable by node spamming.
3. Made minor landform changes to prevent a couple pathing issues.
4. Fixed all bridges to function properly. The walk-over effect may not always look correct but the bridges themselves function and path correctly.
5. Removed a few dozen trees in hopes of very slightly improving performance.
6. Rearranged some structures and fences in Kakariko Village to allow for better inital base building.
7. Added two minor natural expansions to Kakariko Village to facilitate closer growth to the village.
8. Added a natural expansion point for the Lake Hylia (southeastern-most) base.
9. Rebuilt cliffshore pathing to prevent units from "water walking" to opposite shores.
10. Added in by custom trigger, some appropriately themed Zelda music with permission from Jonny Death aka GaMetal.
11. Remade map art image (the artwork shown on this page) and edited tips on map loading screen.
12. Rebuilt lobby variants to ensure proper AI / player adding and play. Adding 10 Insane AI should work great now
13. Noticed some vespene geysers weren't rich. Whoops. Fixed.

The classic version map will take some time to develop as it is not live yet but this big map should be fully playable now and have no bugs! Enjoy.
