Zelda 1 map in Zelda 2!

[Anapan]

My friend came over the other day while I was playing Zelda 2 and showed me this. I never noticed it before!
Just googled a link rather than cut the area out myself:

I guess everyone comes to the party a bit late sometimes. It is a pretty cool thing, to be sure.

really? unless i am missing something, i think it barely resembles the map. looks more coincidence.

Hey, that's cool.

Never knew about that.

Yeah, one looks nothing like the other. It's not a coincidence because nothing really coincides.

It is clearly modeled (somewhat loosely) after the Zelda I map. Nintendo itself has even pointed this out on multiple occasions. The NES Player's Guide (1991 I think) from Nintendo Power highlighted this.
