A whole lot of people are about to get really happy!

Saw this on Reddit and instantly thought about ERA, people were just soooo excited about Linkle, i remember there being a rumor of her being playable in BOTW which ended up never happening :(

Opened a new thread as i thought it was big enough of a deal that would deserve it's own thread, plus, people will surely discuss her not being playable in the first place when there were rumors stating the opposite.





Lynardkiller has been working on this mod for quite awhile and it's definitely quite polished.

The mod works for v1.4.0 / v1.4.1 / v1.5.0 versions of Breath of the Wild.

Mod Features:

  • Voice and Facial Expressions have been added.
  • Crossbow is over Royal Halberd. It's a spear.
  • Linkle's body is over Link's model.
  • Linkle's armor is over the Hylian Set.
  • Includes dyable armor colors.

Cemu only? Would have been better to say that it's a mod made by a random person in the title.

I was excited until I got to Cemu Only.
This would be super cool for Nintendo to implement. Shame.

Edit: also agreed, title should've been something like "Linkle Mod available for BotW"

Not entirely sure, cause you can use mods on the Wii U as far as i am aware, so it could had been a mod that could had been used on the Wii U (though it's not.. i think)

You would think so, especially considering they already have Linkles model, voice and so on from Hyrule Warriors. I mean, if a modder can do it, Nintendo should be able to. But i definitely don't think it's a case of Nintendo not being able to, but them not wanting to.

That is a pretty misleading title for talking about a mod only available via emulator, to be honest.

I don't see the issue, the title mentions that it's for Cemu only, i mean, it really is pretty self-explanatory, but if an Admin feels like changing it could be "Linkle now available on Breath of the Wild (Cemu Mod Only)" :(

Is Zelda already playable?

Yeah, there are mods available already, check Gamebanana, or last resort, Youtube. I do remember seeing mods of her available, not sure if they were fully complete with voice work done though

There is even a mod to play as Goku from Dragon Ball and Luffy from One Piece

instead of "cemu only" you should have put "fan hack/mod" in the title instead of what you did here.

I would of, but cause as far as i know the mod only works on Cemu i didn't want people to think the mod would work in general on a Wii U cause it does support modding in general.

Someone above mentioned that it is possible to use it on original hardware though, but i am not aware of how modding works on the original hardware

Cool, thanks for the info.

but can she can walk into Gerudo Town without the outfit?

That is a good question actually.

ths state of CEMU is kinda of insane, BOTW at 4k even at 30 frames is a completely different game, plus you get all these mods and graphics packs from the cominuty, Nintendo surely is missing a point not understanding how much some people ( like me ) would love one of their consoles to be a beast in terms of raw power, will try this out on the weekend, thanks for sharing OP!

Was the thread title changed or something? It doesn't seem confusing to me. Literally says it's a mod in the title.

A female lead? Weird, I'm not suddenly possessed by a decreased desire to buy the game! Please take note for the next Zelda, Nintendo. This looks awesome.

That's a fun mod. I'm impressed by what the Cemu people are able to do, and the speed at which they are doing it.

This isn't Cemu only, you can use a Wii U.

However: the Wii U mod loader is a little buggy, and may require you to restart the game from time to time. You can use Loadliine instead, but because it doesn't work great with BotW, you'll get VERY long loading times.


Anyway, I played this a bunch last night, it's pretty great. The model isn't perfect—her legs look a bit too manly, and her face a little derpy (although in fairness, so does Link's face)—but still really damn impressive.

but can she can walk into Gerudo Town without the outfit?
No, not right now!

How do clothes work on these character swaps? Do they just change the stats and not the look?

Man I wish Nintendo would let us play with different models. Like Shadow of War where it was possible to play as Lithariel or Celebrimbor.

Wow this is amazing! I would have paid for this as DLC right away, great job! The only thing that looks off to me is her face in the inventory for whatever reason but other than that it seems top-notch! :)

Quick question: what's the workaround for those motion control sections when playing with a PS4 pad? I tried using the mouse but it was a completely awful experience and made me stop playing.
