New Mod Mixes The Wind Waker & Untitled Goose Game

New Mod Mixes The Wind Waker & Untitled Goose Game

In the last few years, we’ve seen some utterly insane ROM hack and game mod concepts. There’s Super Mario 64 meets Luigi’s Mansion, in both senses of the word. There are crossovers between Super Mario 64 and Counter-Strike, as well as Half-Life and GoldenEye. There’s a mod where Ashley replaces Link in the Wind Waker, and another where Eiji Aonuma is the main antagonist in Majora’s Mask.
Heck, there’s even a game where your character has to play through an interactive Mario 64 hacking slideshow while drinking enough coffee to stay awake in order to not get fired.

But today’s mod might be a bit stranger than any of those. Why? Because somehow, it mixes The Wind Waker with Untitled Goose Game!

Yep, named The Legend of Goose: The Honk Waker, the game has the goose replace Link as he spreads chaos throughout Hyrule. Here’s the trailer for the game:

It’s an interesting experience, simply due to how much work went into it. Indeed, while you might expect a mere model swap where the goose replaces Link, that’s far from the case here.

Instead, we’ve got a game where every little aspect has been updated or replaced to be more goose like. The text is all rewritten, and talks about geese instead of heroes. The paintings and statues throughout the land have geese figures rather than human ones, while signs saying geese aren’t allowed litter well-known locales. The enemies wield said signs to attack, while the farmer from Untitled Goose Game replaces Ganon…

Heck, you’ve even got an updated story intro with all the hero and Ganon references replaced by Untitled Goose Game ones. It’s an insane labour of love from creator BigSharkZ, and one which blows us away given the sheer insanity of the basic concepts involved.

So yeah, if you’re a Wind Waker or Untitled Goose Game fan looking for a change of pace, check it out. You can find the download on its GameBanana page here, and more information about the game over on BigSharkZ’s YouTube channel if you so desire.

It’s definitely worth a look for sure.
