A talented modder that goes by the username of Waikuteru has managed to give us an experience of the Skyview Temple from Skyward Sword in Breath of the Wild. Two hundred hours was the amount of time the impressive mod took to be constructed. While there are obviously key differences between Skyward Sword and Breath…
Kurko Mods has recently released a new trailer for their Ocarina of Time-themed Banjo-Kazooie mod, “The Jiggies of Time.” After various teasers, including Lake Hylia and Kokiri Forest, the latest focus is on the Forest Temple.

Breath of the Wild is full of Easter Eggs. There are several well-known references hidden throughout the game, but Zeltik has put together a list of obscure Easter Eggs that you’re much less likely to know.

A group of intrepid GitHub coders have taken up the mission of decompiling the source code of Ocarina of Time.
