Bizarre Zelda: Ocarina of Time Mod Adds Pikmin to the Game

Key Takeaways

  • Modder combines Pikmin with Ocarina of Time, showcasing Pikmin’s helpfulness.
  • Video demonstrates Link using Pikmin to attack, carry, and fix objects.
  • Mod not available to public due to potential legal issues with Nintendo.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the recent mod combination of Pikmin and Ocarina of Time has me absolutely thrilled! While Pikmin may not be as well-known as Zelda in the west, it’s certainly earned its place among Nintendo’s crown jewels.


A modifier for the game “Zelda: Ocarina of Time” has skillfully blended elements from “Pikmin,” showcasing an impressive amount of detail. A video showcases how Link’s new Pikmin abilities prove beneficial in navigating and solving challenges within “Ocarina of Time.

Although Pikmin may not be as famous as Zelda in the western world, both have grown to be cherished Nintendo games over time. Typically, Pikmin games feature characters such as Olimar who collect Pikmin to aid them on their quest or expedition. These small, plant-like beings are capable of completing a broad range of tasks and can easily be replaced if they’re lost or meet their end, making them invaluable helpers. Interestingly, the helpfulness exhibited by the Pikmin seems to extend beyond the games themselves, thanks to this creative modder.

Modder notChase recently posted a short video showcasing an imaginative concept: integrating Pikmin into the world of Ocarina of Time. The clip commences with Link departing from Castle Town, promptly extracting Pikmin from the ground as one would in a typical Pikmin game. As the video progresses, it transitions between various situations, such as Link charging through Hyrule Field accompanied by a swarm of Pikmin. The Pikmin assist Link in combat against enemies, retrieving items out of reach, transporting and carrying objects, and even repairing the bridge leading to Gerudo Valley.

What Else Can Link’s Pikmin Do?

Not only are the aforementioned details remarkable, but Chase also paid attention to the unique traits of the Pikmin, such as their colors and types. For instance, Red Pikmin thrive in Death Mountain’s sweltering heat while others wither, and Blue Pikmin can swim where other Pikmin drown. Moreover, Link has the ability to summon his Pikmin at will, with each color-coded squad marching obediently behind him.

It’s unfortunate that although NotChase has created engaging Zelda mods, they remain unavailable to the public as they appear to be more personal projects rather than releases for fans. This is likely due to Nintendo’s reputation for being protective of its intellectual property, which has led to many mods and fan games being shut down in the past. Therefore, we can only hope for crossovers like Link with Pikmin through games like Super Smash Bros, or look forward to Easter eggs featuring Mario or hidden Starfox development tools within other games like Ocarina of Time.
