A new epic adventure on Wii U



A complete reinterpretation of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Experience BotW with a new playable character, a completely rewritten story, and enjoy new gameplay mechanics, unique shrines, and more epic side quests than ever before! The Legend of Zelda: Shattered Hearts expansion offers a brand new experience to the original game and is not just a simple reskin. My ambition was to create an entirely new experience, a fully renewed game.

Project Convergence

Shattered Hearts is much more than just a compilation of mods but a convergence project to create a coherent and organic expansion, so that Linkle's story is as engaging as possible for the player. I wanted Linkle's adventure to be as consistent as possible, leaving nothing to chance. Mods like Second Wind, Lylah's Music Overhaul, Hyrule Rebalance, and many others were like pieces of a puzzle to be assembled to form a harmonious picture, or like pieces of hearts assembled in a classic Zelda game!
At least but not last, the package was specifically designed to run on native Wii U!

Disclamer: I am the author of this compilation, but I am not the author of the aforementioned mods!

The story of The Legend of Zelda: Shattered Hearts

Open your eyes... Why won't you wake up, my brother...?

Dive into an epic adventure where the fate of Hyrule rests on the shoulders of Linkle, Link's sister. The heart of this fearless warrior bleeds at the thought of her brother being in a deep slumber, but she refuses to be defeated and courageously launches into battle against the darkness that threatens to engulf the kingdom. In the face of adversity, Linkle must draw upon her inner strength and rise to the legend of her brother. Will you be ready to follow her on this epic quest to save Hyrule?

Discover the destiny of the kingdom of Hyrule through the eyes of Linkle, a brave adventurer who has her own story, her own soundtrack, and her own way of approaching the world that will appear both familiar and beautifully transformed.

How to setup

You will need the following prerequisites to install The Legend of Zelda: Shattered Hearts expansion:
The procedure to follow:

Extract the file Shattered_Hearts.zip into your SDCafiine folder on your SD card. You should end up with a path that looks like this: D:\sdcafiine\00050000101C9400\The Legend of Zelda - Shattered Hearts

Insert your SD card into your Wii U, start your homebrew launcher, then access your Wii U Plugin Loader. From there, all you have to do is toggle ON the SD Cafiine plugin and press the + button. You now just have to launch your game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.


One last word...

I hope you'll enjoy my package and the new journey of Linkle. f some of you have the idea of proposing an improved version with more content, better overall stability, etc., feel free to let me know! In the meantime... Have fun playing!

Seems pretty cool, what have you done to the mods or is it just a collection thrown together? (don't mean that to sound as harsh as it reads btw!!!) I am aware of these mods but haven't been on that discord in aaages!

I take it Linkle is not optional then and any plans on a PAL version or are we good? been a while since I messed with bcml also.

Hi! My work mainly consisted of assembling mods that I'm not the author of, as I mentioned in my thread.

However, I built my entire package around the idea of playing as Linkle, so my package doesn't have any options to play as another character.

Finally, it should be possible to play with the PAL version of the game, but I'm afraid there may be text-related issues.

Cool, i'll give it a try! Been thinking about getting second wind and breathing (lol) new life into this game while I wait on my son completing TotK before I get near that lol

No biggie re Linkle, was just wondering and looking forward to trying it, well done on your efforts....I know putting these things together can be tiresome when testing!
