The Two Hyrules

[ChargewithSword]

1. Why does every kingdom need an ocean? There wasn't one in OoT and TP anywhere that you could reach.
2. I wasn't quite sure what you were trying to say, but I'll attempt to answer anyway. If they had already developed the technology and were then attacked/relocated, it wouldn't have taken them that long to recreate it, since they would have already had the blueprints. Buildings are different.
3. This is the only point of yours I agree upon, but there could have been other reasons. Maybe it was too dangerous for Kakariko to be where it was in OoT due to volcanic eruptions.
4. I think you have your directions mixed up. In all the maps besides the Zelda 2 one, you can clearly see that the Gerudo Desert is on the west side.

For 1. and 4. I was tired and wasn't thinking straight.

2. When a kingdom starts from scratch, they must first obtain the resources to make this technology. Also when a kingdom is destroyed, lack of profits make it difficult to rebuild again.

3. There are many problems with living near a live volcano.

OK, I didn't think of that. You're right, they would have needed to find the resources first.

Continue with your discusssion from a new angle and tackle it there. There are holes around my theory that can only be filled with debate.

It could also be that the creators figured that having the map be identical in each game would be dumb? just maybe

I think this is the case. If they left Hyrule the same every game it would be boreing. And after seeing the TP map on the foto.. I now know why that game seemed so "cramped" ><
