After nearly a year and a half of work, a small team of modders released a multiplayer mod for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild this week, fulfilling a $10,000 challenge set out by YouTuber PointCrow in November 2021. The mod, which is now available via Discord, makes it possible for up to 32 players to galavant around Hyrule together, sharing progress and competing in some custom game modes added with the mod. Lead modder AlexMangue tells me PointCrow, who regularly speedruns and makes videos about Breath of the Wild, has been a big part of the mod's development.
"He didn't just put the 10K bounty. He has been supporting us monetarily throughout the project in addition to the 10K bounty," AlexMangue says. "Also, he was in some way the director of the project in the way of him doing the creative side of it, like bringing us ideas on what to work on next."
