Huby's is okay, but it feels really messy and cluttered. I'm also just tired of looking at EZGBZ lately, nothing against you though ;~;
TS really freaking likes cats. He won't shut up about it. (He contributed to my quest a little so I reference him I guess???!?!?!?!)
As for makar and klop... well, they're alright and certainly work, just sort of lacking variety and diversity- a lot of the structures of the screen are very similar, although creating an open feel. They're not great, but certainly not bad, either.

<_<
The others are fairly solid, and I love klop's for the Goomba on the map, but it's also a bit disjointed and it doesn't seem designed well in some places.
Can you tell I love p—

I Voted Settra. I did this by elimination.
I couldn't vote for myself. That would be cheating.
Makarthekorok-Good base, but it seemed empty
In my personal opinion, Scootaloo wasn't as good as Lord Settra! and Hubdweyer, so I eliminated that one.
The last two were equally good, so I did a coin toss and chose Lord Settra!

Also, The Sattelite, can I ask where you find that my map is not well designed? I need to change it slightly before I release it in V3 of 'An Item Fantasy'.

I looked through them again, and I realised that Makarthekorok's map actually has similarities to the Viridian Forest. It doesn't have that much bearing on anything, but it was something I noticed.

As for my vote, Scootaloo gets that. I liked your map the most, however you shouldn't have left those top mountain areas blank, specially for this contest. The others didn't stand out very much, either too much or too little detail, but I commend you all for the work you put in. That takes time and can effect different ingame. But without the small screens dividing your maps up ingame, they can look rather different in a map shot.
What I'm trying to say, is that just because you don't win map of the month doesn't mean your work is bad ingame. Those are two different areas there. But for a map contest, things must look pretty in a larger context, even if your maps work and look good ingame when playing. I've got some cool stuff that doesn't look great in a map, but ingame things flow fine.

It just feels like some of your detail placement seems a bit arbitrary and haphazard, even for Classic. And there's the diagonal stretch of rock near the bottom right, the white area, it just... doesn't look right. At all. That's about all I can say, though.

The Greylands is the Grey bit with the Maze path at the bottom and the Dungeon at the top.
Hammer Temple is the Island with the gap and Dungeon on it.

And Klop, your map feels a little empty(thinking mostly of the middle ), but maybe it's supposed to be? Were you trying to design a "Hyrule Field" in the middle? Anyway, it still wasn't bad, but since this is a contest for best map of the month, only the best will win... And please don't take it too harsh, it's not bad, just not awesome .

And yes, it was meant to be a Hyrule field in the middle. I should have trees, shouldn't I?
