Better Link n64 Plus Preview - SoH Exclusive mod!

[@ManVsCliff]

This is awesome, but that blank unending stare when he's playing the ocarina is going to haunt me forever

[@skilarbabcock]

Lol

[@henkman00]

Blank unending stare Link will sell your soul to the Poe collector in exchange for… 100 points…😳

[@LegitPostalDudeArchive]

I cannot wait until this releases Skylar! Keep up the amazing work bro, we all appreciate you!

[@birdquest8695]

I feel like this is how the gamecube ports should have looked.

[@Vitor20XX]

If it was a remake or remaster instead of a port

[@casual_critic]

i was just on your website last night to see if you had a better n64 link model. can’t wait to use this one!

[@jatarihtx]

This actually looks close to a Version of Link we saw at Spaceworld 2000 when the gamecube was revealed!

[@Dakayto]

This is exactly what im looking for, a mod that gives OoT characters slightly more polygons that still blend in with the environments.

[@LoadingError0]

looks amazing! can’t wait till this is released :)

[@ALivingFlame]

SO gorgeous!! He evokes the Hero of Time sequel trilogy we never got.

[@gildedgliam6727]

My comment about loving you was satirical, but genuinely, be proud of yourself, this is out of our world, It feels nostalgic without even being from an actual N64 Zelda, really awesome

[@skilarbabcock]

So no love 8(?

[@tesha9138]

​@@skilarbabcockI love you! 🌝

[@MasterHeroLink]

Amazing work man, Absolutely amazing job👍

[@SpectreSigma]

this looks amazing! awesome!

[@ch4oz568]

Fantastic work my friend

[@davidpyne6414]

Looks great! Looking forward to checking it out down the road.

[@rocoloco321]

Amazing work. It reminds me of link's render in smash melee

[@skilarbabcock]

That was the reference for my TP Hero of time Link and OOT Link model

[@beardalaxy]

Aw heck yeah dude, this looks sick!

[@skilarbabcock]

Hey bro how you been?

[@beardalaxy]

@@skilarbabcock undecided, i'll get back to you on that one xD hahaha i'm doing alright, hope you're good too!

[@coltonowens2742]

Been a fan of your work for a long time man, amazing as always!

[@skilarbabcock8720]

Thanks homie

[@tesha9138]

Dude! That is one sharp looking Link! Shield looks perfect too, the vanilla Hylian Shield looks like cardboard now after seeing this massive improvement. :]

[@xXSonTJXxx]

Looks pretty sick man this reminds me of the improved mm link mod from the nerrel project

[@Beta_Gamer2008]

Incredible what hackrom creators can do!! 😎

[@WRILLI4M]

Looks stunning, pal! Do you intend to add Link's in-game facial expressions as well?

[@StEvUgnIn]

That's the way I remember Link on my cathodic TV.

[@TakumiJoyconBoyz]

I've always noticed that a lot of OoT custom models seem to lack a portion under the tunic to kinda hide where the legs begin and stuff. I wonder why that is.

[@skilarbabcock8720]

Because of the animations

[@Eshyyyyy]

I never noticed how strange Link's run animation looks in OOT. But anyways, yo this is sick!

[@skilarbabcock8720]

I like it tbh

[@shadowoftiger116]

This is fucking awesome dude, as someone who is EXTREMELY nitpicky on stuff like this I seriously cannot find a flaw with this model. A+ from me

[@adamshane948]

Would this still have been possible in 1998? Because this looks great for its time!

[@DHM91]

I was going to ask the same thing! Would love to play this on original hardware with the new model.

[@xXSonTJXxx]

Same I would like see in 1998 but it's too bad he has no plans to release it on other platforms

[@comicrya4290]

Only curious if a young link will be included. But I'm sure whatever you do will be great. Anyway, amazing work.

[@skilarbabcock8720]

Of course :)

[@kazuyaum]

This is the best model so far. Suits better the feel that the original release had, which was lost in 3DS games.

[@skilarbabcock]

This comment makes me feel good, because that was the number 1 goal in it's creation

[@alec_almartson]

Beautiful work 💯🎨🖼🎮👏🏻 Please keep it up 👍🏻

[@VincentGuillotine]

is the metallic effect on link's equipment theoretically possible on n64, or is it the power of the ship? maybe it's my imagination but the shield's metallic sheen looks more high-end than the vanilla n64 sword's blade

[@skilarbabcock]

It's possible

[@TjazzSyn]

Nice!! This really reminds me of Render96, if you could, could you please make a majoras mask adult link version too, I don't think that would take much time

[@skilarbabcock8720]

Render96 doesn't exist for zelda

[@shiroutheherotraceon3313]

Good work!

[@Salty_Bass]

This looks great, I would like to see your take on all the characters in OoT.

[@panik9122]

looks amazing

[@Undeabducks]

This is so baller! This is not so much a request, but just a question with regard to the quality of the model: how much effort or time would you expect to bring this kind of quality to the rest of the game's NPCs and enemies, within reason? Also, are there other modelers who would be open to coming together and getting this style and quality to other parts of the game? Regardless of the answer, this is really cool. I realize the model is still a work-in-progress, but this is some serious progress. Keep doing you things, Skilar!

[@skilarbabcock8720]

Link would probably take longest. But not long per npc if you used the original model as a base. I made this from scratch so it took longer

[@Undeabducks]

@@skilarbabcock8720 How did you get those anchor arm-ass modeling skills? Did you take a modeling course, was it self-taught? What are they feeding you to get this stronk?

[@themapcartographer5952]

Its just...perfect...

[@shattered-reflection8045]

I would love to see this usable in patcher64!

[@skilarbabcock]

No

[@ManVsCliff]

bro just said "NO." and went on with his day 🤣

[@shattered-reflection8045]

@@ManVsCliff right!? Haha. Hey at least he wasn't immature and saying a bunch of trash. That's where we're at today. This is absolutely acceptable

[@brianpires2272]

Awesome!

[@Lane_Matthews]

Could you possibly port your better Majora's Mask Link model from Patcher 64

[@skilarbabcock]

No

[@pomk6488]

When it’s releasing ?

[@ZTS-93]

This is a far better model than the original... And I love Ocarina of Time, it holds a very special place in my heart. But even for loving the game so long I always noticed a lot of things so off-putting about the original model (bulky cheeks and the ridiculously pointy nose for example). I just remember back in the days after seeing all the promotional art in magazines and commercials etc, it gave me an idea of what Link looked like... and then when I saw the actual in-game model for the first time, it just didn't match well 😅 It wasn't terrible but it definitely wasn't accurate aha 😅 But this however... Very much looks like it's what should've been... I applaud 👏

[@skilarbabcock]

The N64 model was made before the artwork you are talking about.

[@ZTS-93]

@@skilarbabcock either way that's what happened haha saw the art before the game.

[@link-mastersword2555]

Cool 👍🏻

[@luiseduardocarrascogonzale7508]

Is a mod?

[@skilarbabcock]

For the PC port yes

[@ElricSowrd]

Link doesn't have any Face Animations. 😐

[@skilarbabcock]

It's almost like I said it's a preview. Could that perhaps mean it's not done 😱😱

[@ElricSowrd]

@@skilarbabcock Oh right. Sorry. 😰
