Banjo-Kazooie excitement and nostalgia is through the roof at the moment, with fans reveling in unprecedented joy after the duo’s reveal for the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster.
They will soon be able to brave the Great Sea and face off with Toon Link in their Smash Bros. debut, but this mod has brought them one step further.
Thanks to Kurko Mods, Banjo and his feathered friend find themselves on Outset Island, scurrying around the opening area from the beautiful, 2003 cel-shaded Zelda GameCube masterpiece The Wind Waker.
Homage is paid to Link’s Awakening, much to Kazooie’s egg-centric pleasure! 
Suddenly the lack of a boat doesn’t seem like that big of an issue… 
Familar things that hurt Banjo are spotted on Outset Island
The bear and Breegull are showcased as they traverse the island, flapping across that broken bridge and being nosy in the houses of the islanders. The assets from Banjo-Kazooie are carefully placed on Outset, so you will find the likes of that familiar blue bull, Bigbutt, replacing those little water-wary pigs.
You may hold out for a small glimmer of hope that you can play the entire game, dreaming of sailing or soaring over all that The Wind Waker has to offer with Rare’s duo from Nintendo 64 origin, but unfortunately will find that hope to be subsequently extinguished. But who can complain at the idea of a good trot around Outset Island?
Be sure to check out the video in all its glory. You may even spot some renowned retro Nintendo magazines from the N64 era!
