When I was a very young, I used to think golf courses as the overworld in Zelda 1 (Hyrule Field?) and my imagination
would go crazy. Now, I am older but my appreciation for landscapes and natural scenaries is still there and I plan on
travelling in search of finding buttkickin' RPG/Medieval/Fantasy-style scenaries and landscapes.
So far, New Zealand tops in my priority list along with Norway and certain parts of Japan. Do you guys know of any other places
around the globe that have mind-blowing landscapes and scenaries?Gardens, Castles, Villages,
Ruins, etc. included.

Hanging Gardens in Mesopotamia must've looked awesome in real life back in the day.

Angkor Wat (today)

Germany Castles (today)

Whoa! Nice. "The colors of ta prohm" looks surreal and I could only imagine how euphoric it must be to wake up at dawn break to witness the the sunrise of angkor wat. I am too much of an aesthetic individual.

Everytime I see Angkor Wat I think of Legend of Gaia and have the urge to fight blue blobs and moving statues

Those shots or Norway are absolutely breathtaking.

Here are a few pics my friend took that remined me of the rpg locales. He has a good eye for catching the feeling for how it actually feels to be there.

biking around the complex was very very cool it was like indiana jones without the nazis

Yea -- my friends get tired of me saying "damn, this looks like 'La Thienne Plateau' in FF11" whenever we go out camping. But it's the honest-to-god truth! lol I haven't been to half the places you listed, though, no time to play anymore
