While that other The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake is coming along nicely, another, slightly more ambitious project has popped up. This remake, called The Legend of Zelda: Ballad of the Wind Fish, is in full 3D, in the style of the 3D Zelda games, as opposed to being a 2D game with 3D models. This new remake promises to make some pretty interesting changes. For example, Link will be able to swim at the beginning of the game, but will be unable to dive until he finds the flippers. Alternatively, he can use Bow Wow to weigh himself down to sink below the surface and explore as far as Bow Wow’s chain will allow him to. The Wii-style HUD leaves the impression that this is a Wii homebrew project.
The game is only in its Alpha stage now, as it has only been in production for a few weeks. Expect it to look much better as more progress is made.
