Google Maps just added an incredible 'Legend of Zelda' Easter egg

There's a special "Legend of Zelda" themed treat in Google Maps today.

To coincide with the Friday launch of "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD" for Wii U, Google Maps created a cute Easter egg to celebrate the popular game franchise.

In the bottom right corner of Google Maps, you'll notice the regular yellow figure for Street View has been replaced with a sprite of Link, the hero and protagonist of "The Legend of Zelda." You'll see he's wearing his classic green tunic and carrying his sword and shield.

You can pick him up and fling him around the screen, or you can use him like you would normally use the Street View character by dropping him on a location where you want to see the surroundings.

Once you're there, you can rotate your view and you'll see Link rotate in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, too.

It's a really cute way to celebrate one of the greatest game franchises ever created.
