Watch a showcase here!
PM me on Discord @TheWarlock117#6226 with any bugs, complaints, or suggestions!
Please check known issues first! Also be aware that I am unlikely to add any more skins than are already included. Due to the nature of BOTW's assets, adding new skins is incredibly time-consuming and tedious, and if I add any more, it will be further down the road, when I am feeling particularly masochistic.

Known Issues
- Some animations are unsynced in Multiplayer - Bomb Throw, Paraglider, Shielding, etc.
- Mipha's Grace stock not correctly showing used for non-host players in Multiplayer - should be visual only
- Some particles are unreasonably large (Teleporter particles, etc.). I believe this is caused by the model's initial scale, and as it takes an incredible amount of tedious work to get the model ready in-game, is likely not be patched anytime soon
- Some sounds don't play for non-host players in Multiplayer
- Bow slow-mo can be inconsistent (both sound and activation)
- Stasis doesn't apply freeze effect properly when player has invulnerability (movement still stopped, but can still look around)
- Skins re-granted on game start
- Some achievement-tracking hooks sometimes don't start tracking correctly
Future Plans
- Achievements for unlocking Sheikah runes
- Spin attack
- Shield Surfing
- Strafing animations
- Aim pitch, yaw animations
- Aerial sword attack
- Separate models for Bomb, Fire, Ice arrows
- Balancing
- BOTW effects instead of RoR2 placeholders (Cryonis, Stasis, Daruk's Protection, etc.)
- Footstep sounds
- Jumping sounds
- Spawn sounds and animation
- Custom Mipha logic rather than just adding Dio's Best Friend
