Octo-Boss and Talus Lord
There’s another Breath of the Wild Second Wind fan mod update out in the wild, which is taking on the gargantuan task of providing 12 boss battles through the “Labors of the Hero” questline.
Mods have been a longstanding tradition in the Breath of the Wild community, but Second Wind continues to amaze me. The newest clips on the block include the “Octo-Boss” and “Talus Lord” battles, which are repurposed confrontations from existing assets, done in a very clever way.
It’s all a lovely way to keep the game alive beyond the two DLCs that Nintendo put out. And I wonder constantly if Nintendo wish that they had done more for Breath of the Wild in terms of post-launch support, given how it blew up. But that’s commonplace for Nintendo games that do exceedingly well: wondering whether or not Nintendo cares if they supported a game long term. In due time the sequel will be out for $60, and Breath of the Wild won’t get a permanent price drop, so there’s going to be some retail synergy between the two.
If you’re interested in the mod, you can find more info as well as a ton of clips on the official YouTube channel, though Waikuteru has been providing recent updates.
