The Missing Link’s adventure takes place just before the events ofMajora’s Mask, the secondZeldatitle released for N64 that also uses the same engine. As a part of this new addition, the mod includes a new story, along with anupdated map fromOcarina of Timethat follows link as he begins looking for Navi after she left at the end of the original game. This comes complete with new music, based off of the original game but rearranged to better fit the new adventure, as well as new dialogue to push the new story forward, and even new boss fights.
Currently, the mod is available for free to anyone who has a working version of theoriginalOcarina of Timerom, although acquiring these can be risky, as Nintendo is often quick to shutdown illegal sharing of its IP. While sharing a new mod that simply adds to a preexisting game is in a bit of a grey area legally, sharing the original game online is where companies and the courts often draw the line. Regardless, for anyone who does have access to the game and is looking for moreZeldacontent,The Missing Linkis clearly a remarkable love letter to the legend of the series and the N64 releases.
Looking at whatThe Missing Linkoffers players, it’s well worth giving a try, even if that means just watching the developer commentary playthrough available on Kaze Emanuar’s YouTube channel. With everything that the team was able to do withOcarina of Time’s cut contentand other assets to create a new adventure, it’s thrilling to see what might be next forZeldamods.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Timeis available now for N64, Nintendo 3DS, Wii, and Wii U.
