They create a replica of the original Legend of Zelda map in 3D and also sell it for a large amount of money.

Zelda is one of those great video game classics and that every time it launches a new installment. The saga has generated large amounts of income. One of the most sought after titles by the great fans of the saga is the search for original copies of the first installment, the Legend of Zelda, which hit the market in 1986 for the NES and which was on the market for a short time. The game hit the market with a gold cartridge, a clue book and a map of the game itself.

Well, the Legend of Zelda map is one of the great reasons why collectors look for it with great enthusiasm, since not everyone keeps it and it is even more difficult to find it in good condition. Well, given the difficulty of finding it and the price of them, a user has created a 3D printed version. What's more, this 3D printed version of the world has been sold and the buyer has been Willard McFarland, who has paid several thousand dollars for this model.

We totally do not know how this model was done, since the user or company that created this 3D printed copy is unknown, which has obviously been a rather complex design and manufacturing job. The map was first recreated in Minecraft and then printed, and this process took no less than six months to complete. After this titanic work, a 3D printer had to be adapted to be able to print it in a single block, which took 24 hours to complete the work.

We do not know which element is crazier in the process, if the six months to replicate it in Minecraft, having to modify a 3D printer, the one that took 24 hours to print or that thousands of dollars have been paid for this 3D printed mockup. The truth is that it makes you want to do it and double it en masse, to earn a good little money and spend it next Christmas, because for these, if it takes us six months to replicate it in the block game, we will already be planted in summer when we finish.
