OH LAWD

I was just playing the original Zelda (on my PC lolzors) and I happened to notice something familiar about the map... <_<

Well, the Japanese were one of the Axis powers...

[MagmarFire]

Not in THAT time period, they weren't (anymore). >_O

It caught my attention a while back when I found some game art for LoZ. Official game art. It's labeled here as "Manji"



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: I just found this on Wikipedia:

The symbol as it is used in Buddhist art and scripture is known in Japanese as a manji (literally, "the character for eternality" 萬字), and represents Dharma, universal harmony, and the balance of opposites.

It was a sign of peace, before Hitler used it :P
Then it became a Jewish oppression symbol.
Kind of like how Gays took rainbows :[

[Hi no Seijin]

Except gay people don't opress anyone. ::)

The Nazi Swastika always went clockwise though.

[HylianHero92]

It is going clockwise though!

[Keaton]

It is going clockwise though!

...that one's going counterclockwise.
