Minor IoR spoilers. Are you ready for an adventure? (There will probably also be more NPCs in the final version)

A familiar Korkiri Forest.

From an old quest project from 2008. It's not that good but the colors are pretty ヾ(*´ー`)ノ

I have to hand my vote to Evan20000 this week. It captures the GB spirit but explores a lot of new territory, all while maintaining continuity and strong screen design. Very nice.
EDIT: Mr. Z is a very close second. There's just something really appealing about the design. It's consistent, if maybe a bit repetitive.

I nulled because I'm in the competition, but I'd probably have voted for Rambly if I were voting. While I have a burning hatred for BS Mountains (Well not really, but they're probably my least favorite mountain style along with newfirst), this map manages to use them in a way that I am okay with, in addition to having a nice layout. I'm also in love with the palette.

No seriously. Finish it.
Octorockoncrack: A decent map, but those clouds look a little weird. I mean most of the time clouds aren't bagel shaped...
Mr. Z: A solid map, but it doesn't stand out very much.
Evan20000: Instawin for making something amazing and not catching the Nicks.
Shane*NUMBERS*: It's kinda flat and kinda tile errory and this is why OoT doesn't work as a complete screen for screen remake in ZC. Possibly because the N64 didn't split maps into screens. And was 3D.
Rambly: This is really pretty. I probably would have voted had Evan not entered. I just kinda prefer a pretty map of an actual quest over an amazing map of a dead one or one that I suspect will never be completed based on the creator's history. Unless this actually is being worked on in which case...DAMN!

I'm glad other people think it's repetitive as well, that's the reason I'm redesigning all the maps for Quest for Light, they're just boring. Pretty but boring.
Evan20000: I want your game.

Octorockoncrack - It's fairly simple and traditional, but I think that's part of its charm. It's nice-looking, though I admit the cloud usage is a bit odd. Maybe it looks better on an individual screen basis? Like that eye cloud though. Foreshadowing?
Mr. Z - The snow parts seem too plain, but maybe I'm just used to more detailed snow tiles. It may seem "repetitive" but I still think it's a good-looking map.
Evan200000 - It would be a crime not to vote for this. The scope of this map is just amazing, it's huge, it's varied, it looks good, it's a clear winner. The fact that it comes from a near-completed quest too makes it more exciting, that we'll actually get to roam this for real. A+.
shane7227 - So, my main problems with this map are twofold. One is strictly related to the contest itself, and your map is more or less a conversion of a map someone else did (albeit not in ZC), so ethically I couldn't justify voting for it. The other is the detail. The grass just looks repetitive, and I think you could have spruced up the underbrush a bit more. It's more or less fine otherwise. I'm not saying you can't keep this map in your quest, though, it's just I couldn't vote for it in a contest.
Rambly - Simple little map, but well-designed. I can't really find BS appealing at all, but the design of the map is still pretty nice.

Therefore, I won't vote.
Hope you all win!

Sheik: for me, this one has the best paths, or ways, or I don't know how to fucking say it in english x) I only think is kinda... Ugly, but great map overall!
Mr. Z: very well designed map, it seems fun to play through and is the one with which I have less issues. Only a little bit boring visually.
Evan: HUUUUUGE overworld here, so the variation makes the difference. Maybe a little bit linear in some zones (maybe not, that's what it seems to me by looking at it). Tileset usage could be better too.
Rambly: visually stunning and well designed. I like your simple style of design, only this time it was too simple, perhaps? I don't know.
I honestly don't know which one should I choose between these four. I like all of them but also everyone has something that doesn't appeal to me very much. I'll choose later x)

evan20000 I have voted for you. You can see the entire overworld and most of it is on a huge island. Looks beautiful!
