Zelda fans unite! A crafty Far Cry 5 player has recreated a part of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening within Ubisoft’s map editor.
Created by YouTuber ‘Krollywood‘, this 3D rebuild of 1993’s Link’s Awakening is called “Vacation on Koholint” and features the entire island, allowing Far Cry 5 players to explore the map. It should be noted that this map isn’t a full game and it doesn’t include any enemies or boundaries. At the moment of writing this map is only available via the PlayStation version of Far Cry 5, but the creator intends to port the map to both PC and Xbox as well.
In order to explore this Link’s Awakening 3D recreation within Ubisoft’s game, users will need a copy of Far Cry 5, a Ubisoft account, and access to PlayStation Plus. The map can be found via Far Cry 5’s Arcade mode and then search for the “Perfect-Dark1982” PSN in the search filter. Players can then pick the “Link’s Awakening” map. We’ve included a video of this amazing 3d recreation alongside instructions on how to access it below:
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening (by some called Zelda IV) was released back in 1993 for the Nintendo Game Boy. The game received a lovely remake for the Nintendo Switch in 2019. Here’s what we wrote about the Switch remake in our review back then:
The biggest change to Link’s Awakening is undoubtedly the fact that you are no longer scrolling between set screens unless in a dungeon. Now, the entire overworld is laid about before you, and what would have been several screens in the Game Boy original, is now one, allowing you to see farther than ever before. It definitely makes overworld mazes dozens of times easier and lets you see enemies coming in advance. It’s a change that you will barely even notice at first, but this single things actually makes the entire game much easier to play.
Needless to say, absolutely everything from the original game has been made new again, from the way Link controls to the music that plays in every area, the redesigned enemies, and beyond. But additions and changes have been made to modernize the game too. Pegasus Boots, the shield and the sword all get their own dedicated buttons now, which is exactly what this game needed. X and Y are saved for two other items to be linked to, and you’ll find yourself swapping items out regularly.
