My only gripe with this hack is that it feels like there was third ending and additional dungeon planned, but the main creator wisely decided to cut it short when faced with burnout. It's already a 15-25 hour hack, I'm very pleased with what i played and the FULLY CUSTOM FINAL BOSS was pretty phenomenal!
The Ocarina of Time art style really has an ethereal atmosphere and grit and none of the other Zelda games have really replicated. It's hard to describe but it evokes the feeling of being in a dangerous world where you need to survive, that especially translates well to ROM hacks like this.
Zelda in N64 its so esthetic, I really enjoyed the remakes on 3DS because it was like reliving my childhood. I'm from '96 with a father who owns a Nintendo 64 with Zelda, Castlevania, and Resident Evil 2.
@@vianabdullah2837 The only other Zelda with a great atmosphere is Twilight Princess, specifically its dungeons. Maybe in 20 years we'll see Rom hacks for that game.
The edgy writing loses a few points for me even if there's a stupid kind of charm to it, but goddamn the kinda things this hack does otherwise is impressive!
The fact Link is now just another loser looking for fame and fortune in Ganondorfs world totally goes against the Hero of Times's character. I hate it when people come up with fan fiction that totally misunderstands and misrepresents the source material.
Why do I get the feeling that whiever it was that decided to include the words "retard" and "IQ" in a Zelda game complains about "lazy, bad, woke millennial writing" 24/7? That killed a lot of my interest. It is why designers design, coders code and writers write. And it's the reason why Majora's Mask was a mature game while being also PG and this isn't adult but edgy. What a shame. The rest seems great (except I don't get how a bonfire would refill your milk bottle)
Here’s a rom hack suggestion. If you’re a fan of Thief or old school stealth games in general, I STRONGLY recommend you play The Black Parade. It retains that gorgeous gothic vibe and trippy level design of Thief, while also doing things technically that the original game couldn’t to make for some seriously surprising and distinct levels. Favorite fan mod of all time, every moment feels professionally polished and true to the original game
The Black Parade should be fucking hailed as one of the best modding achievements of all time. Frankly, it surpasses the original games in SO many ways. Makes the sting of losing that franchise hurt a lot less.
It's a good idea to replay the base game before trying that. I hadn't played Thief in over 10 years, then when I started Black Parade it only took until the second level for there to be woodsy lord non-Euclidean architecture.
Sup, Bane! I’ve got 5 for you: • Mario Vs Warioware - starts easy but becomes challenging fast. • Portal64 first slice demo if you have access to it. It is wild how spot on of a demake it is with n64. • Bullet Bill Simulator - me and my friends still can’t break 200 points. • Kumi-Daiko Beatoff - pretty fun game and extra fun multiplayer. Simple and people can jump right in. I haven’t exceeded 50 points. • Cooking Princess - a great homage to Overcooked. Ho ho ho and have a good December. I love your vids.
im not surprised that on a zelda video noone mentioned it but i think the creme de la creme in fan games is probably enderal which is a total conversion of skyrim. It is a genuine great experience with nice and grounded writing, and beautiful environments.
The dungeon you were showing at 5:13 is the reason why I first discovered this game however long ago. If I could ever figure out how these games working I would love to play them. Especially this one, I want to discover that dungeon with my own eyes.
Just download the patch (you can get it from the youtube trailer), look up "rompatcherjs", merge the file with an OoT ROM, and load that in an emulator. It really is so much easier than it used to be.
@@alvaro4996 I've tried to get a couple SM64 ones to work in the past but couldn't make it happen. I've since gotten new computers and haven't gotten the new software to do it yet, nor find the locations to download anything or what all exactly I need.
I want an OOT hack that allows you to have a shotgun in the shield slot; holding shield and pressing the roll button would instead fire a shotgun blast that blocks any and all attacks in it's path but requires ammo and to be reloaded after every shot. also the shotgun doesn't actually block without firing.
@Sir_Adam if i was millionaire i would even pay people to make mods xD I love this game so much ! It made the little boy in wheelchair i was feeling like a hero ! But now the game is too easy for me ! I want to struggle again like in the good old times
Please please please play Zelda The Ultimate Trial, Truly one of the best zelda rom hacks, the music alone makes my bussy quiver...... heres some other suggestions as well! Rom hacks -Mario 64 royal legacy -Mario 64 throughout the ages -Legend of zelda time lost. Fan games -Project 06 -Super Mario Bros. Wonderland 1987. Don't have too many suggestions since I play most of my rom hacks on original hardware and I know you've covered a lot of the console compatible ones already.
@@Rihcterwilker There are puzzles, though. There’s a whole underground section, there’s an underwater area in shiba’s fortress, even navigating the NPCs in order is a kind of puzzle progression
The armored redead comes from Twilight Princess ! I called the mummies as a child. They terrified me. But their scream was not so terrifiyng compared to the OOT ones
You should check out Robotinik's Ring Racers. It's an SNES style kart racer with pretty in-depth mechanics. It has as a ton of unlockables, and its honestly one of the best kart racers I've ever played.
Agree. I just hope he uses the passwords to skip the tutorial BS and get into the meat of the game to not taint his first impression. So much good stuff locked behind tedium I swear
It would be ridiculously sick if you could find a way to spotlight a Zelda Classic quest. A lot of fresh, new Zelda-likes are waiting to be discovered, and the program has gone a long way from what it was in 1998. If you want a quest that encapsulates the modern magic of Zelda Classic, One Screen Gollab is a huge collaboration project with over 20+ contributors that was made one screen at a time, always exchanging hands to a different contributor. Tons of dungeons, 8 playable characters with unique abilities, and overall polish and cohesiveness that can't be denied; it may just be the best 2D Zelda fan game I've ever played for the simple fact you can throw eggs as Yoshi. There are tons of other bangers from this year as well, like Spell of Mudora and Nostalrul Plus, and there are many demos for some insane projects coming up like Crucible Crest. Without a doubt a quiet yet thriving community, thought I may be biased lmao
Very late to discovering this channel and this marathon you're doing but if you're still looking for suggestions and accepts demos: Pokémon Coral is definitely worth checking out and featuring. Also the review itself is great, well-articulated and thorough. Fangame and romhacking reviews in general I find are kind of lacking and your video is refreshing, helping to scratch a much-needed itch for my penchant of fan curation.
If you're interested in some NES hacks, I highly recommend checking out Castlevania: The Holy Relics, Rockman 4 Minus Infinity and Super Ale Bros. Redux. All three are complete, highly-polished overhauls of their respective games with new mechanics and tons of custom content. Looking forward to the rest of this month's marathon :) Good luck!
Here are my recommendations: SMW -JUMP and JUMP 1/2 -Super Mario CD SM64 -Eureka -Shining Stars 4 Super Mario Bros. 3 -Mario Adventure 3 Sonic the Hedgehog -Sonic Megamix -Metal Sonic Hyperdrive/Overdrive Mega Man -Mega Man Unlimited -MaGMML3
I could have sworn you did a video on Wario Land 4: Parallel Worlds, but nothing's coming up on the search engine. If you didn't, there's both that and Wario Land 3: The Master Quest that might be worth taking a look at. I just love the fat garlic man so much.
I hate the idea of the more modern elements but it’s not unprecedented. The lord of the rings ended with the hobbits retaking the shire from Saruman and his forces who have industrialized it. Many of the things here match up well with that idea.
I got some suggestions! ROM hacks: Ancient Shroomba Super Larry 64 DS (demo comes out sometime this December) Some obscure Mario 64 mod made by Kaze Mario Fan Games: The Purple Coin Wario Destroys a Glass of Milk
I'd recommend pokemon prism if you haven't covered it already, it's a great pokemon rom hack of crystal with original ideas, tons of original minigames, a mining and crafting system, some great music, character customization, play as your own pokemon, I just can't put the game down, it does alot of things you won't see in pokemon rom hacks nowadays
Brother if you are looking for new SMW hacks please try out Super Mario Bros. CD it's a demo but it's already one of the most beautiful hacks out there.
Try Metroid Fusion Special Edition. Makes the game a lot cooler by allowing some sequence breaking. Also color corrects a few sprites. Made me like the game a lot more
Super Metroid Subversion is an extremely high quality rom hack. In fact, it might even be better than the original game in a lot of ways. Super high recommendation.
Didn't know if you were doing a Christmas marathon or not since you didn't make a video about it. Glad you are though, and I'm looking forward to each video. As for recommendations, I've got some. Pokemon Reloaded: A pokemon game with real time combat instead of turn based. Be warned though, this one's pretty hard. Paper Mario Tower of trials: Similar to Black pit, but with more rouge-like elements, and in TTYD instead of 64. Make a good Mega Man level 3: A big mega man fan game with loads of fan made levels, and other content as well.
Pokemon Crystal Clear. OG Gameboy game goes open world, using only the space available for the original game. Amazing quality of life changes and features with level scaling, gyms in any order, start at any town, character customization, more starter choices, and even more
you may have already covered it, but sm64 adventure is a worthwhile mod. Its a mario 64 mod that ports the levels from sonic adventure. Its not just a direct port though and seems to do a lot of work to make it a really solid experience. It's also just really funny looking.
Check out Time Lost by Stoneebadluck if you haven't. Its a lot like Master of Time in spirit, but slightly more polished. Still has some serious jank though.
I think you should check the Lecarde Chronicles 1 and 2, specially the second one. They are probably not the usual kind of game you play but they are still pretty good castlevania clones.
In terms of fangames, have you tried LISA: The Pointless? It's a phenomenal fangame that rivals and/or exceeds the quality of its main game, LISA: The Painful, in several aspects - particularly in the art.
Was wondering if you'd accept any Half-Life mods, some great ones that feel on the same level of the expansions for me include the likes of Echoes, Field Intensity, Escape (the 2.0 release is on Steam) and Delta for Half-Life 1, and for Half-Life 2, Entropy Zero 2 is a must play, the best fan-game/mod in my opinion. For Doom mods I want to recommend Godless Night, essentially it turns the game into a Metroidvania, and it works amazingly well in my opinion, and anything under the Doomer Board Project should also be great, some of the best ones I think are DBP 37 Auger Zenith, DBP 59 Zeppelin Armada and DBP68 Outposts of the Wasteland. Love the channel, discovered it this year and it's one of my favourites, thanks for the great videos
chat im losing it i forgot that the christmas fangame marathons existed i am so joyus also play the halloween romhacks from hylian modding, the best one has gotta be "Spooky Murder House"
I would love another dark Zelda game I never beat any of them I'm currently playing Twilight princess on GameCube and I'm loving it I played Majora's mask could not finish it I ended up getting rid of my 3DS which I wish I didn't I would love for Majora's mask to come back maybe the mask can team up with another Zelda villain
I like this hack. It's weird but cool. I like the world and dungeons, but feel like the objectives in the overworld are too inconspicuous. Also, they use the wall master enemy way too much.
i recommend Pokemon Fire Red: Rocket Edition. big story focus but still has some cool gameplay twists like stealing pokemon and a bounty system along with qol stuff from later games
I highly recommend the Pokémon Legacy series by Smith Plays Pokémon! It’s a series that takes the first 3 generations of Pokémon and enhances them while still remaining as faithful to the original game as possible. It’s amazing how so many minor changes brings out the best in these old games and I highly recommend you play them even if you don’t like the original games as it fixes almost all of the issues I have with them while still being the original games at their core. Pokémon Emerald Legacy is releasing on the 12th so if you want to be topical and review something new there you go!
Bane's only covered Pokemon once so I would not count on it (IIRC he said that it doesn't need it compared to the vast majority of romhack and fangame spaces)
There’s this really cool Star Fox fan game you’ll probably want to check out called Star Fox Event Horizon. It’s basically a reimaging of the 64 continuity using content from the other reboots. It’s really impressive what the guy was able to make. There’s a crazy amount of content. The creator UndyingNephalim/IceCreamMan got Krystal’s original voice actress to do work for his mod (mod for Freespace Open. This open source game, so it’s 100% free). It’s a lot of fun. Unfortunately, due to engine limitations you can’t really have on foot missions, so Adventures/Assault won’t feel right (he’s also cramming a bunch of stuff from Dinosaur Planet into the Adventures arc, which simply doesn’t work). There’s tank missions, but they’re super janky. A lot of the characters have UGLY faces (they’re well animated/expressive, but they don’t look right). The guy might also be a pedoman. Back in the day me made this cringe RPG Maker Zelda fan game called Time’s Menagerie. It’s a sequel to his Fallen Sage fan game. In it he made nude loli drawings of his kiddy waifu Saria (there weren’t any “details”, but that doesn’t make it any less disturbing. She was a clone who didn’t have any memories and looked YOUNG, so mentally and physically she was a child), he has sus stuff with underaged characters, and there’s this one part where this poor Zora woman has been gone for a few decades and was used by this octopus man against her will to breed an army of Zora Octoroc hybrids. In this Zelda rts he made later on he shipped an ambiguously aged Saria with a much older man, and when he was confronted about it in a livestream he gave the Ken Penders excuse that “it’s a backwards medieval world, and that kind of thing happened then”. Except unlike Ken Penders who left it at that before moving onto another dumpster fire this guy will go ON AND ON about how much better medieval society was from what we have now, and how we should go back to the good old days🤣. In his Gerudo Wars comic with art that looks like Ken Penders attempt at a Zelda manga on the official fan wiki for his Zelda setting it talks about how the Kokiri are “an immortal race of forever children”, and said that Saria (one of the previous mentioned children) is “heavily pregnant”. Insert my boy PPP screaming WOAH BUDDY then going on a righteous rant about sickos🤣🤮
How do you play these ocarina of time hacks? Im not very savy with a computer but my god out of all the hacks ive seen this is the one I wanna play the most of

I've honestly never played a rom hack with decent writing.

@@Rihcterwilker There are puzzles, though. There’s a whole underground section, there’s an underwater area in shiba’s fortress, even navigating the NPCs in order is a kind of puzzle progression

I don't have any romhacks to recommend, but I just want to say that you are one of my favorite channels about videogames.
earned my sub!!! fire video
Subbed this channel cause I found out you make rom hack could tent
Game suggestion: The Mario Party 1 in Super Mario 64 mod by MrComit? It has 70 Stars and was released in 2019. Apologies if you've already covered it.
I'd recommend pokemon prism if you haven't covered it already, it's a great pokemon rom hack of crystal with original ideas, tons of original minigames, a mining and crafting system, some great music, character customization, play as your own pokemon, I just can't put the game down, it does alot of things you won't see in pokemon rom hacks nowadays

You a G for covering this

Try Metroid Fusion Special Edition. Makes the game a lot cooler by allowing some sequence breaking. Also color corrects a few sprites. Made me like the game a lot more
Super Metroid Subversion is an extremely high quality rom hack. In fact, it might even be better than the original game in a lot of ways. Super high recommendation.
Didn't know if you were doing a Christmas marathon or not since you didn't make a video about it. Glad you are though, and I'm looking forward to each video. As for recommendations, I've got some.
Pokemon Reloaded: A pokemon game with real time combat instead of turn based. Be warned though, this one's pretty hard.
Paper Mario Tower of trials: Similar to Black pit, but with more rouge-like elements, and in TTYD instead of 64.
Make a good Mega Man level 3: A big mega man fan game with loads of fan made levels, and other content as well.
Can we get a review of H Doom?
IMHO Pokemon Reborn and Run and Bun are peak Pokemon fan games for different reasons.
Pokemon Crystal Clear. OG Gameboy game goes open world, using only the space available for the original game. Amazing quality of life changes and features with level scaling, gyms in any order, start at any town, character customization, more starter choices, and even more
You should check out Fighters History Dynasties
Psycho Waluigi Is a wonderful fan game for fans of Waluigi it's very well designed almost like a fully polished game

The hack being cynical is really turning me off from it tbh
Lore of Zelda Sands of Time is Tremendous and Cynical momentum 100
I think you should check the Lecarde Chronicles 1 and 2, specially the second one. They are probably not the usual kind of game you play but they are still pretty good castlevania clones.
You should take a look at Dragon Quest + and Rayman Redemption, 2 formidable fan remakes
In terms of fangames, have you tried LISA: The Pointless? It's a phenomenal fangame that rivals and/or exceeds the quality of its main game, LISA: The Painful, in several aspects - particularly in the art.
Would this hack work on original hardware? I want to find out before going through the trouble of trying just for it to crash.
sounds totally normal on 1.25 speed
Final Fantasy 6 Brave New World and Final Fantasy 7 New Threat are straight improvements over the originals.

I would love another dark Zelda game I never beat any of them I'm currently playing Twilight princess on GameCube and I'm loving it I played Majora's mask could not finish it I ended up getting rid of my 3DS which I wish I didn't I would love for Majora's mask to come back maybe the mask can team up with another Zelda villain
I like this hack. It's weird but cool. I like the world and dungeons, but feel like the objectives in the overworld are too inconspicuous. Also, they use the wall master enemy way too much.
Ever tried Newer Super Mario Bros Wii and DS
Missing Link a two hour experince?
Eh? Did I played to fast or skiped an entire hour?
It's christmas every!
Hohohoho
do any romhack come together like a stand alone game? or do i need oot rom?
Bro this is gonna be so good, I love your hack ROM videos so much! God bless ya and Jesus loves ya!
Thank you for the video.
i recommend Pokemon Fire Red: Rocket Edition. big story focus but still has some cool gameplay twists like stealing pokemon and a bounty system along with qol stuff from later games
I’m new here, but have you checked out the Shin Megami Tensei 1 fan remake?
There's plenty of mods for Halo on the steam workshop for the master chief collection
Try out "super Mario 64: decades later" its a cool reimagination ks original sm64
He already posted a vid talking about it 7 months ago
@edrigus1503 ok thx, haven't seen it
Is that the scratches mask??
Sonic triple trouble 16 bit if you're into sonic.
Try Andaron Saga. It's a Fire Emblem romhack that is EXCEPTIONALLY good.
Horror people doing horror things to other horrible people in a horrible world... no thanks.
I highly recommend the Pokémon Legacy series by Smith Plays Pokémon! It’s a series that takes the first 3 generations of Pokémon and enhances them while still remaining as faithful to the original game as possible. It’s amazing how so many minor changes brings out the best in these old games and I highly recommend you play them even if you don’t like the original games as it fixes almost all of the issues I have with them while still being the original games at their core. Pokémon Emerald Legacy is releasing on the 12th so if you want to be topical and review something new there you go!
Bane's only covered Pokemon once so I would not count on it (IIRC he said that it doesn't need it compared to the vast majority of romhack and fangame spaces)
Try out the Majora’s Mask recompilation or Waluigi’s Taco Stand 64 or Pokemon Sour Crystal.
One romhack thhat's too big for one day but good for the long run: Final Fantasy VI T-Edition + EX
There’s this really cool Star Fox fan game you’ll probably want to check out called Star Fox Event Horizon. It’s basically a reimaging of the 64 continuity using content from the other reboots. It’s really impressive what the guy was able to make. There’s a crazy amount of content. The creator UndyingNephalim/IceCreamMan got Krystal’s original voice actress to do work for his mod (mod for Freespace Open. This open source game, so it’s 100% free). It’s a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, due to engine limitations you can’t really have on foot missions, so Adventures/Assault won’t feel right (he’s also cramming a bunch of stuff from Dinosaur Planet into the Adventures arc, which simply doesn’t work). There’s tank missions, but they’re super janky. A lot of the characters have UGLY faces (they’re well animated/expressive, but they don’t look right).
The guy might also be a pedoman. Back in the day me made this cringe RPG Maker Zelda fan game called Time’s Menagerie. It’s a sequel to his Fallen Sage fan game. In it he made nude loli drawings of his kiddy waifu Saria (there weren’t any “details”, but that doesn’t make it any less disturbing. She was a clone who didn’t have any memories and looked YOUNG, so mentally and physically she was a child), he has sus stuff with underaged characters, and there’s this one part where this poor Zora woman has been gone for a few decades and was used by this octopus man against her will to breed an army of Zora Octoroc hybrids. In this Zelda rts he made later on he shipped an ambiguously aged Saria with a much older man, and when he was confronted about it in a livestream he gave the Ken Penders excuse that “it’s a backwards medieval world, and that kind of thing happened then”. Except unlike Ken Penders who left it at that before moving onto another dumpster fire this guy will go ON AND ON about how much better medieval society was from what we have now, and how we should go back to the good old days🤣. In his Gerudo Wars comic with art that looks like Ken Penders attempt at a Zelda manga on the official fan wiki for his Zelda setting it talks about how the Kokiri are “an immortal race of forever children”, and said that Saria (one of the previous mentioned children) is “heavily pregnant”. Insert my boy PPP screaming WOAH BUDDY then going on a righteous rant about sickos🤣🤮
