I know the shield is made of metal as well, so I had to pull a pro gamer move and give it the excuse, "This shield is metal plated, but its still wood and will burn!" I know this may or may not upset people, but sometimes you gotta do what your artistic vision sees. While its obvious to match the OOT Hylian Shield with the TP counterpart, I decided to replace the wooden shield with the Hero's shield from Majora's Mask, as in that game the shield can be repeatedly replaced. I did also consider replacing the Ordon Shield anyway, but the Deku shield just looked really weird on his back with the gap that was unavoidable between the sword hilt and the shield. This also takes away a pet peeve of mine where the Ordon sword on Rusl's back somehow is the same sword Link takes, seemingly existing twice.


(while the Ordon shields lore is directly tied to their culture in its description) Also, a gold sword is a fitting gift to the royal family. As for his items, I decided to only do his swords and shields, leaving out his normal items and the Ordon Shield because they are more tied to the lore of this game (while they aren't in Ocarina of time).Īlso taking aspects from Majora's Mask, the new Gilded sword was a decision based on the lore that the Ordon sword has, as its meant to be a gift to the royal family and is less tied to Ordon culture itself. To balance this out, we have a Wii U exclusive OOT Themed Kakariko village. A GameCube exclusive item (because of limitations) is also the golden wolf hero of time hero's shade model. I of course have the Kokiri Tunic, and the Zora tunic, but for Magic armor, I opted to use th Deity armor as an outfit (not the character!) because of the armor sound effects, and I like to think it worked quite well. I was able to replace all of Links outfits in some way, and the end result came out quite satisfying. I worked really hard on it both in artistic assets, and technical. I am more than happy to finally release this mod. The best part? This is tested console compatible! This has been a long time coming and I cannot be happier. I helped too with testing and finding what certain things made it work, and discovered the issue was something with the DRW1 section, that was later confirmed by my buddy Zen. Thanks to Gamma and Yoshi2 who worked on SuperBMD, especially Gamma for adding the fixes to make the models work and making the TPHelpers tool, it is finally possible. This works on both GameCube, AND Wii U!Īfter 5 Long years of Modding Twilight Princess, and trying to get character models to be a thing, we have finally done it. Introducing the VERY first character model import, and imports, for Twilight Princess - The hero of Time.
