The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of TimePC port had an update which adds new features such as a multiplayer mode and a pet dog. HarbourMasters, the modding team behind the project, made a video to inform fans about what new features are available to them inOcarina of Time.
The PC port ofZelda: Ocarina of Timecalled theShip of Harkinian was originally released in March 2022. It was achieved by a team of dedicated volunteers, who are still open to receiving help from those able to lend their expertise to the project. HarbourMasters' website details all that has been achieved and all the future goals the group has set for itself, but further details can be found in connection with the Ship of Harkinian project on its dedicated site. Furthermore, HarbourMasters has plenty of projects for the future as well, wishing to give the same treatment toMajora’s Mask,The Minish Cap,Twilight Princess, andBreath of the Wild. The two projects that are closest to finishing areMajora’s MarkandThe Minish Cap, so major updates can be expected on those in 2024.

Severalnew features have been added to the Ship of Harkinianwith the latest update. The most obvious one is a multiplayer mode, which adds a second player who’ll be able to play as a fairy named Ivan. Ivan has access to Link’s inventory, therefore he’s able to help fight enemies and trigger switches, but he can also use Link’s arsenal to play tricks on the hero, such as throwing bombs at him. Another important update is Link’s new dog companion which appears to be based on Richard, Mamamu Yan’s dog from Castle Town. That exact type of dog can now follow Link around wherever he goes. A third major change is the PC port now added support for better graphics, allowing players to add higher-resolution textures into the game, as well as custom models.
There are plenty more updates as well that add smaller features and fixes to the game and likely more will follow. HarbourMasters can never provide an estimate on when the new updates will be available for understandable reasons. These projects are being worked on as and when the volunteers have time. It’s a surprise HarbourMasters has managed to avoid acopyright strike from Nintendoso far, but there’s always hope the project will be allowed to continue undisturbed.
HarbourMasters is opening the window of possibilities for those whodon’t own any Nintendo consoles. Seeing the loyal following the group has and the amount of work that goes into each update, hopefully, fans will see many more innovations in the future.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Timeis available on 3DS, GameCube, Nintendo 64, and Switch.
