The noclip.website - not to be confused with the creators of the high-end game documentaries on YouTube - has been about since 2018. The site is committed to making datamined video game maps accessible to the general public through internet browsers. You may or may not have heard about it previously.
So far, a stack of Nintendo maps have been uploaded, covering multiple generations of hardware. You can view areas such as Outset Island from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on the GameCube or see what Luigi Circuit looks like from high in the sky in Mario Kart Wii. The site's name highlights the fact you can "fly" through each map, and not have to worry about any boundaries, as you travel through walls and floors.
Right now, there are about 30 maps to view. Each one is divided up into different segments and some maps even feature characters, enemies and items. You can also change the time of day on some. The website tool allows you to view textures and enable render hacks as well. Take a look at some of the maps below:
The 'other' section of the website has also uploaded a few extras, such as character animations and collision data:

The water in Sunshine looks just as good as I remember. Seeing old games rendered in HD is pretty neat, thanks for that link!
When is Breath of the Wild's world map happening?
Doesn't seem to work on my work computer
Whoa, what's that, the future?
That is just cool. Turn on a VR mode so I can actually stand and move around inside them in my Oculus Rift, and wow! Could even make them Steam VR Home rooms.
Wow, that's really impressive and great fun to explore. Hope they keep updating it with new stuff!
This is super cool
Call me crazy, I love maps and it looks like a lot of work went into all these renderings.
that's cool - why not throw some coins or other collectibles around the levels and you can gather them
maybe add a store of some sort to buy items
and maybe - why don't you throw some enemies in the levels that will make some of the more valuable collectibles harder to get
lol
This website is what I've been wanting for so long! Only seems to work on Chrome, though.
Wow, that is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.
@Joeynator3000 It's there, under 'Experimental'. My work computer does not want, though. From what loaded, it looks neat
They don't have anything I haven't seen before but hopefully they add more games in the future! It's a good idea
Wow, this is so cool! I'm prepared to waste the day looking at all the Zelda sites...
@Bunkerneath - that's too bad...I'm guessing your work uses IE or Edge? or is there an internet filter?
Woah, this is awesome.
And it looks so, so good on my ultrawide monitor.
The Dark Souls 1 and 2 collision maps made me so happy . Thank you NL for bringing this to our attention.
Making Game Developer such as Unity and Unreal Engine software.
@Lone_Beagle Tried IE, Firefox and Chrome, must be a filter or something
As a lover of maps, this is pretty cool. I'll have to check this out next time I'm on my personal laptop. I have a feeling that site won't work on my phone. XD
.........Meh, lemme know when we get an actual map of Breath of the Wild. lol
Tried to load a map, but then my phone crashed completely. Guess that's something only for better PC's... :-/
This is amazing.
@impurekind I have an Oculus Rift as well; how do you view this in VR? Like what browser, etc, are you using?
@impurekind That sounds like a dream come true!
Why can't I get a VR?
@yuwarite Well it's not in VR yet so you can't. I'm saying it would be awesome if it were. Of course, if you have a Rift then you can just load Steam VR and already see a few Nintendo-themed Home areas in there, including that one from Wind Waker. And they are very cool.
@impurekind Ah right, gotcha. Yeah, I played a few maps from Nintendo games in Pavlov VR, and those were awesome, especially the Majora's Mask map.
@Reigestugatensho @yuwarite @impurekind You can explore a lot of game worlds in VR with VRChat.There's the whole Wind Waker overworld,not just one island.There are even fully playable VR versions of Pacman,DK and Bomberman.A VR headset isn't mandatory.I don't have it and play with mouse and keyboard similarly to a fps.
@Randomname19 Oh, really? That's fantastic news for me!
