Labyrinth vs. Maze
~ Whips ~ City Minigames ~ City Jumping Puzzles ~
I complained about this in game, and got told that it’s a labyrinth that is in ruins. I didn’t go and confirm this, but there are obvious places where walls have fallen down. If somebody could confirm that this was originally a labyrinth, I’d be happy.
Isn’t it technically….neither? As there is no entrance or exit.

I can’t get into the game right now.
Somebody confirm this so I can sleep tonight.

This explanation seems unlikely, given that the four cardinal passages into the main area are wide and mostly clear, which suggests there were always four ways into the center, even before it was in ruins.
The Mad King’s Labyrinth is not a labyrinth; it is a maze. I’m kind of sad that it isn’t called Mad King’s Maze, for the nice alliteration on top of being correctly labeled.
A labyrinth, by definition, has only one path (no junctions). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth
(I blame “Labyrinth”. The structure in the movie was a maze. But I guess that just didn’t sound as mysterious as a movie title.)
While this is, to some degree, technically accurate, I usually find that to be the least productive kind of accurate. While the traditional Greek labyrinth had only one path,
the word has been in more general use for a maze-like structure since Herodotus wrote about it in the fifth century BC, according to the Wikipedia article you linked. Most dictionaries will describe twisting, confusing passages without the “single path” feature.
Considering the Mad King’s Labyrinth doesn’t have a beginning or an exit, it’s clearly a labyrinth in the more general sense.
