The creativity put into the weapons and enemies, when they really work, is magical to see in action. I'll get to THAT bit in a moment.įirst, I'd like to praise the map for many of the things it got right: the work in porting the models, sounds, animations, sprites, and locations to Sven is incredible. Any time we had to restart a map because of lives it felt like it was the result of the map being unclear in how certain mechanics have been duct-taped together to have a barely-passing resemblance to how a mechanic worked in OoT. The lives are shared between players and, due to the buggy nature of some aspects of the mod, will become a source of frustration that's hard to shake from the overall experience.

Yeah, the mod includes a lives system which cannot be turned off it's a feature that now feels like a meanspirited removal of server agency with the default inclusion of Survival Mode in Sven Coop. Could we have just beaten it if we had been patient enough? Perhaps, if we were cool with restarting the whole Deku Tree map every 10 deaths. The mod covers up to the first boss, Gohma- or at least I've heard, as my party was unable to fell Gohma. As an added bonus, the Lost Woods are around if you want to go get lost in them. The conversion covers the section of Ocarina of Time that would have been on a shareware disc if the game ever had one: the beginning village, and the Deku Tree. Do I think it works? Almost! Do I think I'll be playing again? Probably not if I can help it.

The Zelda Ocarina of Time Conversion for Sven Coop is what it says on the tin executed better than I would have ever expected. Sorry, we couldn't find any images attached to this page.
