A YouTuber known as Waikuteru has recreated Skyloft from Skyward Sword within Breath of the Wild. Waikuteru used an exploit within Breath of the Wild to edit it freely. He was able to keep the color palette, geography, and more from Skyloft within the edited area. Apparently, in Breath of the Wild, there are a number of areas that can be freely edited. Section 75 is where Skyloft is placed. Here, Waikuteru explains how it works.
“There are four accessible worlds in Breath of the Wild: The normal overworld which you can see in the background, the world you will be warped to when entering a shrine, MainFieldDungeon (you will play in this world when trying to complete a Divine Beast or the final trial), [and] AocField (this is a new world that was added with The Master Trials DLC, better known as Trial of the Sword). The MainField… is separated into 80 map sections. The other 75 map sections are free for us to use.“
You can watch the video below to see the demo in its complete form. This is a huge breakthrough and more modders are sure to take what Waikuteru has done and do even more. With support for Skyward Sword HD growing, modders will continue to create the game in HD until we actually get it, which will hopefully be this year.
Skyward Sword being recreated in Breath of the Wild is a huge accomplishment. More modders are sure to pick up where this left off, and the possibilities are endless.
