Show HN: Zelda Breath of The Wild Street View

Very, very cool project! I think I actually prefer this streetview approach to the floating noclip approach, because a map + streetview that works like google maps cements the feeling that the game world is as real as my city -- here's the map in my web browser, no need to run a video game!

To your knowledge, are there any special tricks to store many panorama images so you could feasibly capture entire paths continuously through the map, or even entire maps for smaller games?

Thanks for the compliment! Glad you liked it! Currently the images are stored elsewhere on a free image hosting site and referred through their direct link.

Sorry I don't have any special tricks to share :/. I feel at this point it would probably be better to rip the game world from the game and artificially make it feel like a panorama when viewing and moving.

Also this would probably imply heavy use of three.js if I wanted to offer that in the browser.
