Hi everyone (or anyone)!

I recently discovered this website in search for Zelda landmarks and locations that are direct inspiration of real-world ones. I began researching this topic after recognizing the Rist Peninsula in BotW as the Spiral Jetty of Utah's Great Salt Lake. I feel that there must be more direct inspirations for Zelda landmarks and locations, but I can't seem find much online.

If anyone knows of anywhere knows of  or is confident of a real-world landmark that inspired Zelda ones, please let me know. If not, any sources/sites you've think might have information on this that you could provide would be really interesting to me too.
