The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker fans can finally explore an unflooded Hyrule

The previously underwater kingdom of Hyrule fromThe Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Wakerwill soon be explorable in its entirety thanks to a fan project.

Now I can’t lie,Zelda: The Wind Wakerisn’t one of my favouriteZeldagames, though to be fair most of my issues with the Nintendo GameCube version were apparently fixed or tweaked for the Wii U remaster, so perhaps another playthrough is in order.

Unless the game comes to the Nintendo Switch first, which would be the ideal outcome

Now though a project is being undertaken to remove the ocean and remodel Hyrule underneath it, allowing players to explore it in its entirety and see what it used to be like.

At the time of writing the project is around 70% complete but the results so far are impressive nonetheless, and the finished thing will be a sight to behold.

If you’re interested you can seevideos of the projecton YouTube and one day you might even be able to play it online.

I love projects like this, and it’s nice to see classic games likeWind Wakerstill having such an impact on gamers so many years later.

While I didn’t fully vibe with the game I do think it’s got one of the best stories in the series so far, and the reveal that Hyrule was beneath the player throughout the whole game was a real standout moment for me on my playthrough.
