Ambitious modding team attempts to add online co-op to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time



The Legend of Zelda series, outside of a few spinoffs, is known for having some of the most renown single-player games to grace the industry. So, much like similar mods of other notable single player games existing, such as for Fallout 3 or Super Mario Sunshine, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that a team of developers have banded together to create an version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that has online multiplayer. Given the simple name of "OoT Online", the project's goal is to allow for up to 15 players to join a server and play together. Development for OoT Online has only been active since October of last year, but it seems like the team has made good progress, recently showing off footage of two players. with both of them playing at the same time. Currently, the project is in pre-beta, and you can keep updated on it by checking out the team's Twitch channel and blog.

That fight against Gohma was strange to say the least. There appeared to be two separate Gohmas.

It almost seems like the two Links are in two separate game worlds - with some events from one affecting the other - but totally different enemies.

I believe that's exactly what's going on. I watched a video of this from a few weeks ago and they explained they were working on this, as currently enemies are still specific to each player, so while you can see the other player fighting an enemy, it's not the same one that's on your screen. They are planning to fix this though. I'll try to find the video I watched

That looks a lot of fun, honestly.
Imagine splitting up doing specific sidequests, progression on your own, while in voice chat for the strategy update, that would be a lot of fun really.

I can see a lot of positive reactions to this project, but I still do not understand why pushing multiplayer in a single-player-only game which now seems too much dated.
I would support a remake instead with possibly new dungeons and/or world map.

When this becomes a thing, Zelda will likely be the only game we play in my house for the next several months. I'm looking forward to it!
