Fans of The Legend of Zelda video games are going to get a kick out of an easter egg on Google Maps. The yellow humanoid figure Pegman, which users have to drag on the map to utilize Street View mode, has been replaced with a character from the Nintendo video game: Link.
Link, the protagonist of The Legend of Zelda series, appears on Google Maps as a promotion for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD , which comes out today on Nintendo Wii U in North America and Europe. The easter egg is available in the browser version of Google maps, reports Mashable, and works globally.
To use, simply drag Link on the map and watch him move his sword and shield as you enter Street View. Once you are in Street View, a larger version of Link will lead the way in the bottom left corner.
Nintendo UK announced the easter egg early Friday morning with a tweet: “It’s dangerous to go alone. The browser version of Google Maps has a familiar fellow to help you along today.”
