I want to play this modded Breath of the Wild game with some people, because it’s more fun when we explore and find things together!

I basically went through and combined a bunch of mods together using BCML which required installing python and merging load orders, and all that good stuff from Oblivion era modding, but I did it for Breath of the Wild. Why? Because I think I might actually enjoy modding games more than playing them. Like I download Jabbawock, install a 120gb modpack for Skyrim, launch it once and sigh satisfied.

I’m actually playing this one though, because modded Breath of the Wild is actually loving awesome. I ended up downloading Relics of the Ancient Past, and it literally adds or changes almost everything about the game except for geometry and shrines. I’ve been exploring the Great Plateau for about 30 minutes, and I have yet to stop finding new things. I also added crafting, spells, an airship, all sorts of stuff that I thought was cool.

I put a lot of effort into getting it to work, and then I kind of realized that there wasn’t anyone to share this unique experience with, so I threw all the files into a torrent, loaded it up on a seedbox, and now I have a single click plug and play file it’s about 50 gigs, 150k different files and it runs Breath of the Wild in 4k at 60 fps. It even has some of the Shaders for the beginning area, though I didn’t play much beyond testing stuff to make sure everything worked, and that a few areas that felt problematic wouldn’t be problematic. Everything seemed fine for the most part, this is because you can’t really merge mods, so everything of one mod overwrites everything of another.

I'm pretty sure linking to a torrent isn't files? If it is, I'll take this link down, and you can PM me or I'll throw it in a discord or something: Torrent is a bust, I'll need to try something else.

Make sure you don't have your controller plugged in when you start the emulator, plug it in after.
