Halo Meets Hyrule: Modder Adds Iconic Weapons and Vehicles to Ocarina of Time

A modder has fused The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with Halo, integrating the shooter’s iconic weapons and vehicles into the classic Nintendo 64 game. Developed by notCHase, this fan-made project introduces a fresh way to explore Hyrule, blending two distinct gaming worlds. Released in 1998, Ocarina of Time remains a landmark title, and this mod showcases the creativity still thriving in its modding community.

What the Mod Brings to the Game

The modification equips Link with Halo staples like the Energy Sword, a melee weapon known for its lethal precision, and grenades, offering explosive combat options. The standout addition is the Warthog, Halo’s all-terrain vehicle, which replaces Epona as Link’s transport. Players can even recruit Princess Zelda as a gunner in the Warthog, adding a cooperative twist to the adventure, all made possible through the game’s open-source PC port.

Merging Two Gaming Legacies

This mod builds on Ocarina of Time’s rich modding history, where fans have long experimented with new content. Meanwhile, Halo, launched by Bungie in 2001, is celebrated for its distinctive arsenal, making this crossover a technical feat and a nostalgic treat.

By combining Halo’s sci-fi flair with Hyrule’s fantasy, notCHase has crafted an inventive spin on a beloved game.
