WHAT IS THIS?
This mod recreates Link from Ocarina of Time in the distinct style of Yusuke Nakano — the artist behind the legendary official artwork we all know and love.
WHO'S BEHIND THIS?
A joint project by:
- Kin – Model creation
- Purple Hato – Porting, materials, and animation work
Together, they’ve brought Nakano-style Link into a new light.
WHAT’S NEXT?
This mod is currently a WIP (work in progress)!
Coming soon:
- Animated "Player Select" screen (right now it's static)
- Continued improvements to the model by Kin
💡 The dream? A full Zelda Kart 64 experience
inspired by Nakano and SGI aesthetics.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
