Mods For Breath Of The Wild

I’m constantly seeing videos on Facebook of guys using crazy mods for Breath of the Wild that show Link replaced with all sorts of random characters and other enemies in the game also being replaced. How do you install these mods on the Nintendo Switch version of the game?

The mod videos from Breath of the Wild are actually from the PC version of the game. Yes.. weird considering this game is a Nintendo exclusive. There is a Wii U emulator for the PC and people have not only been able to get Breath of the Wild to run well on PC, but they have been able to manipulate the game in ways that let them replace in game models with custom models like the ones you have seen in the videos.

To answer your question directly, it is not possible to install mods for Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch and it is unlikely that it will ever be possible to do this.

“Second Wind is a large-scale expansion for Breath of the Wild that aims to add new content to the game in a similar way to official DLCs,” the projects creators write over on its Discord server. “We’ve also decided to take things a step further by providing various overhauls, bug fixes, tweaks and and new gameplay elements for players to explore.” It’s currently built for the Wii U version of the game, but a Switch version is a possibility down the road (mods are only available via emulation and on hacked consoles).

In addition to adding dozens of new animals, weapons, and enemies, Second Wind also includes changes ranging from tweaking the atmosphere in each of the game’s 120 Shrines to make them feel more unique, to more detailed bow quivers to make them “more aesthetically pleasing.” According to a project wiki, Second Wind also incorporates a lot of elements from other existing mods, rebalancing things such as crafting, horse riding, and the final fight against Ganon. It even includes masks ported to the game from Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, which give Link new abilities.

With over 50 people contributing to the project, the mod page for Second Wind says its currently 60% complete, but players are already beta testing it over through the group’s Discord. There’s even a roadmap with tentative plans for when remaining features will be completed. A new underground crypt mini-dungeon, for example, has a target completion date of June. Maybe by then we’ll have news of when Nintendo is planning to release Breath of the Wild 2, but in the meantime it’s nice to see enthusiastic fans moving ahead with their own unofficial expansions.
