Twilight Princess: Hero of Time Edition
A model mod by Skilar Babcock that dresses Twilight Princess' Link as the Hero of Time from Ocarina of Time, with matching swords, shields and tunics, for GameCube and Wii U.
What's new
Hero of Time Edition replaces Link's character model in Twilight Princess with one styled after his Ocarina of Time look. The author describes it as the first custom character model import for the game, made possible by new tools from the community.
- Every outfit is reworked: Kokiri and Zora tunics, and the Magic Armor becomes the Fierce Deity outfit (only the clothing, not the character).
- Swords and shields change too: a gilded sword takes the place of the Ordon Sword, the wooden shield becomes the Hero's Shield from Majora's Mask, and the Hylian Shield gets its Ocarina of Time design. Link's other items are left alone.
- The GameCube release also gives the golden wolf (the Hero's Shade) the new model, while the Wii U version has an Ocarina-themed Kakariko Village instead.
- An optional voice add-on and HD textures for Dolphin are offered separately.
Link's voice could not be replaced, and the mod is reported to work on real hardware.
Playing it
The GameCube version is built for the US release and comes bundled with the Twilight Princess Revamped changes, with a separate version (also suited to the randomizer) without them. Install it on your own copy of the game following the guide on the creator's page, starting from a fresh extraction of your disc. A Wii U (Twilight Princess HD) version is offered there too; the creator warns that modding the HD release breaks the Cave of Shadows.
