Google has become one of the biggest pranksters every year for April Fool's Day. Over the years they've put out several clever and enjoyable pranks. This year's first one is also an Easter Egg with plenty of Google Maps searching for people to do.

They went 8-bit, NES-style. It'll make you want to pull out the original Legend of Zelda and run around the maps from screen to screen. Here is the video as well as some of the best ones that we were able to find. Each is linked to the map itself so click away!
