The The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2, released on November 5, 2026, has gained a fan-made multiplayer mod for the unofficial PC version less than a week after launch. A video posted on November 8 on X by user @hydrofx_ shows two Links playing together in Kokiri Forest, with name tags above the characters, synced combat and real-time state synchronization.
What the mod does
According to TweakTown, the mod was created by daurosk and first appeared on the Lichii emulator before being carried over to native PC recompilations such as NX2navi. The project is open source under the GPL-3.0 license. Other players appear as child Link, accompanied by the fairy Navi and a name tag, follow each other in real time, share items and progress, and can chat.
What is still unconfirmed
The mod has not been publicly released and there is no release date: no download is available. Testing so far has used only two instances of the game on a single PC — it has not been confirmed to work between different computers. It is also unclear whether multiplayer works throughout the whole game or only in the early areas, and not every element of the scenery is synchronized. Some outlets raise the possibility that AI tools sped up the work, but that is speculation and has not been confirmed. The official remake has no multiplayer mode, and Nintendo has not commented on the mod.
Context: from PC port to multiplayer in five days
The pace matches the race to get the remake running on PC: within days, the Lichii emulator and the NX2navi native recompilation appeared, with 60 frames per second, 4K and ultrawide support, plus mods adding DLSS 5 and PS5 controller support. Geekiki already covered the PC arrival in a previous article. For comparison, the Ship of Harkinian decompilation of the original Nintendo 64 Ocarina of Time already had its own multiplayer mod, Anchor.
