Hero of Law

What it is

Hero of Law is a total conversion of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time made by Newer Team, the group behind Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii. Instead of swords and dungeons, you get a full trial in the spirit of Capcom's Ace Attorney series, played out with Ocarina of Time's own characters, models and engine. Link is the defence attorney, and familiar faces from Hyrule take the witness stand.

How it plays

• Investigate scenes, then cross-examine witnesses: press them on each statement and present evidence from the Court Record when something doesn't add up.
• A message history lets you review what was just said.
• New music written with the game's own instrument set, plus extra modes and bonus content unlocked as you play.
• Optional extras: a Transfer Pak with the Game Boy Zelda games unlocks more content, and the voice recognition unit and N64 Mouse are supported in some modes.
• Widescreen and screen-adjustment options were added in updates.

Version 1.21 (June 2026) added a Brazilian Portuguese localization, a refreshed logo and many polish fixes; earlier updates brought French and Korean versions.

Playing it

The mod needs the Expansion Pak and runs on real Nintendo 64 hardware and most emulators. Newer Team's page patches your own copy of Ocarina of Time (USA 1.0 ROM, or the Wii Virtual Console version) right in the browser; follow the readme there. All credit goes to Newer Team.
