Background

World maps are an important part of many games. Games such as Super Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Minecraft, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, and Genshin Impact all have massive worlds to explore. The world map gives players access to important information such as a quest locations, towns, or other interesting areas to explore.
