Map of the Year 2014 Finals


1. Anthus (MotM 50)
Link's next Classic adventure will take him across one of the largest Classic overworlds out there.

2. Shoelace (MotM 57)
Welcome to HomeTown Island!

3. Saffith (MotM 49)
Flower Garden Temple, 1F.



It's come down to this. Out of forty-five maps submitted in 2014, only three remain. Whoever wins this wins it all! Congratulations to everybody who has made it this far, and good luck. Polls close January 31st.

I voted Saffith, his temple looks really fun to play and is creative. Shoelace's and Anthus' were both just as nice.

I voted for Shoelace. I love that tileset!

All these maps are amazing... but it's either Anthus or Saffith for me.

 

Shoelace's map is insanely unique and has some really awesome stuff going on, and I do love the Donkey Kong barrels, but IMO I think there's a bit TOO much going on and is a bit confusing to look at. Either way though, really great map.

 

Anthus' map is really awesome, especially being made on classic. There's some really amazing design going on here, though a few areas look a little off (e.g. those screens with the huge screens which randomly get cut off on the sides).

 

Saffith's map is amazing. I really love the design approach here and it looks like a really fun dungeon to play through, I just love it. I can't really spot any issues with this map, therefore I'll be voting for this map.

 

Amazing job to everyone this year!

It's official! Shoelace wins Map of the Year 2014!

I want to commemorate this occasion with something special, but it'll have to wait a little while... Stay tuned.
