If you've been a regular Retro Dodo reader for a long time, then you'll no doubt be aware of notChase's work as a Zelda modder. They are as influential in the space as Kurko Mods is with his Banjo Kazooie mods, creating epic crossovers by blending elements of other games into their Ocarina of Time mod 'Ship of Harkinian.

I've already seen Pikmin joining Link on his adventures as well as abilities like Ultrahand from TotK and Captain Falcon's iconic Falcon Punch move from Smash Brothers be integrated into the game, but seeing Zelda and Link aboard the Warthog and driving around gunning down enemies is almost too much for my little brain to handle!

The cutscene of Link throwing the Energy Sword up into the sun, flowing through a portal, hitting a ship, and the Warthog falling off and landing exactly where the fire arrows land in Lake Hylia was sheer brilliance, and seeing Link throwing Energy Swords and King Dodango made me want to get stop what I'm doing and jump into the action so much!

You can find out more about the Ship of Harkinin mod by visiting the official website!
