Multi-player Hack in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - video powered by Metacafe

Reportedly from the same esteemed programmers who brought you the Arwing and Dark Link hacks in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time comes what might be the magnum opus of N64 cart mods. I won't believe it until I play it myself, but we apparently have reason to believe that some insane Four Swords-style action will be coming to Ocarina in the near future.

This is the kind of modification Nintendo should be making themselves, preferably to their Virtual Console releases on the Wii. Between this and the Mother 3 translation hack, it seems like everywhere you look, Nintendo fans are working on Nintendo games in ways that Nintendo themselves just won't do.

You can thank me for not doing a tired "Ninten-don't" joke later.

Awesome! I loved Four Swords Adventure and was afraid I'd never see a continuation of the series. I wonder how far it will get though.

Coonskin05

"Favoriate" you say?

CaffeinePowered

Do want!

It would be cool if they released this or parallel worlds (LttP hack) on the VC, even if it was completely free

PrinceofCannedPeaches

Well, Mr. Holmes, I'm glad you Ninten-didn't. I'd have Ninten-died.

Wedge

The extent to which they hack these old games is crazy. However I can't imagine they're really going to make a full game based around this. Then again, they _did_ make a Mario64 level editor, which just boggles my mind to think of backwards engineering a 3d game to that point.

Coonskin05

Also, Ocorina of Time.

Riser Glen

Ocorina of Time is hounestly my favourite gaime.

Pangloss

These are a few of my favoriate things.

jdub28

IceMax

"Between this and the Mother 3 translation hack, it seems like everywhere you look, Nintendo fans are working on Nintendo games in ways that Nintendo themselves just won''t do."

Don't forget the debugging and translation hacks of Starfox 2 and BS Zelda. It's sad, these days it sometimes seems like Nintendo fans have better ideas than Nintendo themselves do.

RHWeeeee6

Wow. Thats awesome.

Fronz

"it seems like everywhere you look, Nintendo fans are working on Nintendo games in ways that Nintendo themselves just won't do."

Amen. Also, I like Jdub28's idea.

@Panglos: Ninten-do, a dear? A female dear? Ridge Ray-cer, a drop of Golden Sun?

Orionsaint

That looks Hot!

Like Meg Ryan Hot,

@Orionsaint: That image will haunt my dreams tonight. It�s just an eerily accurate plastic Halloween mask...right? RIGHT?!

liam2015

Samit Sarkar

MaxVest

@Samit: This is a collection of famous typos from all over Dtoid, new and old. Having said that, I don't have a prob...lem with the article.

Cheeburga

Dammit Jonathan, you gotta throw in the Mother 3 bit to further piss me off at Nintendo. =(

Woverine

so does anyone know why the hell there was an arwing in zelda? it says it was a gameshark code.. so the hell was it in the game?

HarassmentPanda

-1 days until Brawl!!

This does look kind of cool, but I don't know that it's something I need. Mother 3 translation--now that's what I've been waiting for!

tincow

I don't want Nintendo messing with these games in anything but very minor ways, if at all, honestly.

Why do you want that? I don't really get messing with this stuff..it's about nostalgia and playing classic games...if you want Metroid with Multiplayer Deathmatch mode..make a new game don't stick it in the old one?

CrocBox

Interesting...
