''The Legend of Zelda'' only displayed a plain gray square on screen, which represented the Overworld.

Full World Maps have been available during gameplay since {{ALttP|-}}. Oftentimes, key locations will be marked on World Maps, such as [[Town]]s and Link’s next destination.<ref>{{Cite|That mark on your map must be your destination.|Soldier|ALttP}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|On the Map Subscreen, you will also see a flashing dot showing you which way you should go next.|Kaepora Gaebora|OoT}}</ref> In {{ALttP|-}} and every game since {{TWW}}, it often possible to magnify an area of the World Map to get a keener look at the layout. When [[Warping]] is possible, some of the titles in the series would display the World Map to show where Link can warp to. The World Map is not always used only for navigation; in {{FS|-}} and {{FSA}}, the World Map is used for selection different stages. The World Map of {{SS|-}} allowed Link to place light [[Beacon]]s to guide the way to a chosen destination. There are diverse methods of obtaining and using World Maps throughout the series.

Most commonly, the areas of the World Map must be filled in. ''Link’s Awakening'' includes a World Map with a grid, and is the first game in the series where each location on the World Map is labeled.<ref>{{Cite|'You can see an island map by pressing the SELECT Button.

Sometimes, parts of the World Map can only be viewed by buying or otherwise earning them first.

While useful, the World Map was not necessary to move forward in most Zelda games. However, Maps were crucial for exploration in both {{PH|-}} and {{ST|-}}. No region of the Overworld in {{PH|-}} could be explored until Link had a Sea Chart for that area, each of which could be found in the [[Temple of the Ocean King]].<ref>{{Cite|You got the Northwestern Sea chart! Now you can explore a new area of the sea!|N/A|PH}}</ref> Together, the World Map was separated into quadrants. This is much like the [[Rail Map]] in {{ST|-}}, which had also had four parts, one for each of the four realms. A part of the Rail Map must be attained from the [[Spirit Tower]] to visit the Realm detailed on it.<ref>{{Cite|You got the Forest rail map! Some of the lost Spirit Tracks on it are reappearing!|N/A|ST}}</ref> To travel across either of these Overworlds, a course must be charted on the Maps themselves.<ref>{{Cite|Tap the Feather Pen icon to access your navigation chart. Just draw a line and the ship will follow that exact path.|Linebeck|PH}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|There's something strangely powerful about the rail map you recovered. If you trace your stylus over the tracks, it will set a path to your destination! Go on and try it, Link!|Anjean|ST}}</ref>
