The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has only been out for a short while, but already many are calling it the greatest game of the year. Indeed, its unsurprisingly high review scores seem to imply the very same, with the game scoring 96 on aggregate sites like Metacritic. While a few points off the original, it's still a remarkable score, one that pushes the remake into the upper echelons of the best video games ever made and sees it smashing sales records at a breakneck speed. It also, perhaps surprisingly, has seen Ocarina of Time's popular remake get a multiplayer mode. This is a feature that the original lacked, and many were unlikely to expect to appear in the remake. Still, it is very much on its way, allowing fans to finally experience the wonders of Ocarina of Time with their friends. If you've felt like Link was perhaps a little too alone on his adventure across Hyrule and time, then this new multiplayer mode is absolutely for you. The implementation of a multiplayer mode in a version of Ocarina of Time has been attempted numerous times before to varying degrees of success. Fans have tried modding the legendary game to be a co-op multiplayer experience for years, and, for the most part, it is absolutely doable with the original version of the game. However, no one likely expected the remake to get multiplayer so quickly, and yet, here we are, with a multiplayer mode very much in development. This is not an official Ocarina of Time DLC or new update for the game. Rather, it is a fan-made mod for the recently released unofficial PC port of the game. It is remarkable just how fast the modding community has worked to decompile the game and make it not just playable on PC, but make it the superior version, capable of running at native 4K and benefiting from the likes of DLSS. This mod is merely an extension of this unofficial port, one that turns Ocarina of Time into a fully co-operative experience. In a brief gameplay clip uploaded to Reddit (see above), we can see two Links running, dodge-rolling, and taking on an enemy before eventually exiting the tunnel. It appears that the multiplayer is limited to two players at this time and online only. What isn't clear is whether or not this has been created using AI, something that seems increasingly likely based on how quickly the mod has been made functional. Additionally, the mod does not currently have a release date. Regardless, it is truly extraordinary that mods such as this can be produced at rapid speeds, especially as, once it has been released (on the condition that it is technically sound), it will make this remake the definitive version of Ocarina of Time. So, if you have a PC and the Lichii Switch 2 emulator, as well as a legally obtained copy of the game, then be sure to give this Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time multiplayer mod a try when it comes out.
