A New Mod to Turn Breath of the Wild into a First-Person VR Game

Check out a new fan-made mod that turns The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild into a VR game.

Have a look at a video revealing an in-development mod that turns The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild into a first-person VR game.

Developers noted that the project might take “a few months, maybe half a year or more” before they can release a stable public build.

The game was originally released in 2017 for Wii U and Nintendo Switch. The project is developed as a PC VR mod based on Wii U emulator called Cemu. The end product is said to use an alternate eye rendering method for VR. The team also noted that the hardware requirements will most probably be quite high.

"We may go with a method that uses similar controls to the Wii (and soon Switch) Skyward Sword where gestures with your VR controller cause different swings. If we rendered the game sword in the player's hand while in first person (outside of the game engine), it might work well to feel like your holding the sword (and can be usable, because when you swing it, it causes the swing gesture to happen in the game, doing enemy damage)."
