Ocarina of Time fan PC port gets difficulty settings and randomizer in new update
A new update has been released for the Ship of Harkinian, the fanmade PC port of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. While the port already boasted a number of impressive features from its last update, a number of new customization options, quality of life improvements and cheats have been added.
Let's start with difficulty options. Customizable difficulty has been added through a series of toggles and sliders that let users adjust various aspects of the game, such as damage multipliers and potion effects. There's also the option to turn off heart drops entirely.
To offset this, there's a number of cheats that can make things easier on you. Some of them include using a shield with a two-handed sword, a fireproof Deku Shield, a visible vision cone for the Hyrule Castle guards, the bunnyhood can be used on Adult Link, items can be used anywhere and a cheat so that Epona never becomes fatigued.
There's also a number of quality of life improvements. The biggest one is that the framerate is now mostly unlocked, letting you choose a custom framerate up to 250. But there are other smaller features added as well; players can now customize the HUD by moving the minimap or other objects, a new GUI has been introduced for binding controls, there's now a free camera, you can now equip tunics and boots to the D-pad to equip them faster, adjustable climbing speed, no forced Navi, opening chests is faster, and more.
Finally, the video ends on a demonstration of a new item randomizer.
