A mod brings an iconic move to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time made famous by one of Link's Super Smash Bros. colleagues.The iconic Falcon Punch is mainly used in Super Smash Bros. by the character Captain Falcon of F-Zero fame. Ocarina of Time is well-known in the franchise as one of the best Zelda games of all time. Many modders over the years have been finding new ways to experience the classic game in new ways for modern players.
The Falcon Punch is a well-known move in the Super Smash Bros. arsenal and can only be used by Captain Falcon or Kirby, if Falcon is swallowed by the pink orb. The move consists of Captain Falcon announcing the move as flames burst from his fist and impact the opponent, launching them across the stage. Captain Falcon debuted on the SNES as a part of the F-Zero franchise that is making a bit of a comeback.
Modder and YouTuber notChase has made a mod that puts the Falcon Punch in Ocarina of Time, bringing a new level to speedruns of the Zelda game. In a YouTube video, they showcase the Falcon Punch in various situations in Ocarina of Time where the move can be used to bypass obstacles where other actions are normally needed. The video shows the player activating the mod to punch Mido, King Zora, a sleeping Talon, a Hyrule Guard and a tombstone out of their way, just to name a few. It seems that the mod can get Link through anything, even the battle with Ganondorf at the end of the game.
NotChase is no stranger to modding the classic Zelda game. They also made a mod bringing the Ultrahand from Tears of the Kingdom to Ocarina of Time giving players the crafting abilities not present in the base game. The addition of the Falcon Punch to Ocarina of Time takes some experiences out of the game that would normally be time-consuming and gives the player the option to punch away their problems.
The mod itself fits seamlessly into the game and could be mistaken for a normal feature or item that can be acquired in the game itself. Modders like notChase making mods for classic games like Ocarina of Time shows the longevity of the iconic franchise and the ease of integration for moves from games like Super Smash Bros. to make the player experience even better.
