Zelda fan and modder Waikuteru is back with a new mod for the insanely popular Switch title Breath of the wilderness.
After the restoration of the disused sanctuary ‘Dungeon136’, they have now decided to re-imagine what owning a home is like in the game. If you’ve played Breath of the Wild yourself, you know how to save some supplies and rupees for Link’s house. This mod apparently goes a step further – by actually making it “a worthwhile purchase”.
“Outside the village of Hateno is a cozy cottage that you can buy and become a home owner! In the base game, the house makes little sense, other than being a place to store some belongings (and complete a quest).”
“This mod re-imagines owning a house in BOTW to make it a worthwhile purchase – something you’ll want to use on a regular basis – while still retaining the original game feel and balance of the game.”
To accomplish this, Waikuteru has enhanced the home experience with a fast travel point, a warm fire to prepare meals, a bed – now allowing Link to “sleep extra long” to regain three bonus hearts, and there are even paintings featuring concept art of the developers.
To top it all off, there is some “extra lighting and tasteful decorations” and Link gets his own personal pet (a chicken). There is also the option to fish for Hylian bass in the nearby pond and store your trusty steed in a stable.
What do you think of these improvements to Link’s home? Would you have liked to see it used more than in Breath of the Wild? Share your thoughts below.
