As I’ve been diving back into some older video games, I decided it would be fun to draw some inspiration for a dungeon map. Here’s Erdrick’s Cave, one of the first dungeons from Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest I) for the NES/Famicom.
This is a very straight-forward dungeon. It doesn’t feature any random battles or any puzzles. It’s simply a short maze that leads to Erdrick’s Tablet, which contains the prophecy of your hero’s lineage. The only challenge is navigating the dark passages. Things were simpler then.

I would love to draw some of the dungeons from the original Zelda. Unfortunately, the scale I want to use would be too large to fit in my current journal. Definitely a project for the future.
