The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis the game that keeps on giving. There are so many secrets and side-quests tucked into every corner of the world. The crazy part is that even with all this wonder, there is still room for more. While some compile awishlist forBreath of the Wild 2, others are taking a more active role in fleshing out the game.
The most obvious way to flesh out aBreath of the Wildexperience is just to try and experience everything the game has to offer. There’s enough game in this game to keep anyone satisfied for a full year. That’s not enough for some folks though, and they have taken to creating their own additions for the game.

Severalside quests inBreath of the Wildare hard to findand complete, but there’s one that’s not even mentioned: modding the game. It is a side quest only for those who love and understand the game to the coding level, but several people have undertaken it. One of these mods sees the Sand Ship dungeon fromSkyward Swordtransported toBreath of the Wild’s desert in most of its glory. The ship rests comfortably in the middle of the desert just like it did inSkyward Swordfor anyone to explore.
Naturally not everything about the ship is accurate to itsSkyward Swordoriginal. Most importantly, the ship is just a piece of the landscape, it’s not actually a dungeon. There are no items to be found and the exterior is all players will get to explore. It is very pretty though, and a fateful recreation of a level many found interesting. It is not the most extensive mod (that might go to theBOTWSamus Mod), but it’s a nice fit for a world full of mysteries.
This is far from the only callback to previous games, and several of the other callbacks are official rather than mods. Several of them are also hidden and obscure, but rather than landscape pieces, they’re wearable. One of the best examples is theMajora’s Mask hidden in some ruins, which helps with stealth.
That’s not to say there are not wearable mods as well. In addition to the above mentioned Samus mod, there’s one thatturns players into Zelda herself. Considering Zelda’s role inBOTW, and how her character gets fleshed out, it’s nice to see her on the front lines. Hopefully some cool mod ideas get saved forBreath of the Wild 2, as there are still infinite possibilities to improve on (or at least stick more stuff onto) perfection.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis available now for Nintendo Switch and Wii U.
