Points in a The Legend of Zelda pointcrawl

[Lord Zack]

So, I am in the process of planning a The Legend of Zelda campaign using the Pathfinder 2e system. I am planning an adventure set on a island that the Hero will shipwreck on. I am planning to design the adventure as a pointcrawl, but I am having trouble coming up with points to include in the adventure. I know that their will be the site of the pointcrawl and there will be a tomb of the previous hero. However I need a series of points in between the two. Does anyone have any ideas?

i know LoZ but not what a pointcrawl is/what the purpose of the 'points' is, i may possibly be able to assist if i could get some elaboration on what they are/do.
also, is this meant to occur in any specific version of hyrule or are you creating your own version with the usual landmarks?

Pointcrawls

Pointcrawls are a pretty straightforward scenario structure: You create a map with locations which are connected with paths, forming a node map. If you want to get more clinical in your descriptions

unless i'm missing anything given the 'iconic locations' formula of hyrule design i think it should be fairly simple to produce a list of notable locations

hyrule castle
castle town
kakariko village
kakariko graveyard
lonlon ranch
kokiri village/forest haven/great deku tree
goron city
zora hall
dragonroost/rito village
gerudo town
temple of time
syrup the witch's hut
hyrule field
kokiri forest
lost woods
death mountain
zora river
lake hylia
gerudo desert
snowpeak mountains
arbiter's grounds
great fairies/spring(s) of power/wisdom/courage/magic
[various dungeons and temples]

I'm not doing the entirety of Hyrule as a pointcrawl though, just the one island. The island is location created for the campaign, so it doesn't have an existing set of locations to draw upon.

Ah, I misunderstood what was happening here then, I’ll think on this some more, but it’ll have to be tomorrow now.
Edit: you do intend for the entire campaign to take place on this island though don’t you? Just to get some perspective on how big you want the landscape.

Actually, the island is just intended as a starter adventure.

so basically you want a new set of zelda-esc locations? how are these?

tidebreak sands
seaspray village
peahat scrublands
crosspath town
bluster swamp
deku bazaar
syrup the witch's hut
chuchu reef
gerudo's landing
hylia plains
lonlon ranch
alpine roost
snowcloak forest
great fairy's mountain
great fairy's shrine
sheerstone cliffs
poe's lantern lighthouse
tidal tunnels
zora's halls
ironpick mines
steamvent caverns

There are definitely some workable ideas there. Though some of them don't really fit with what I am going for.
