"Playing Mario 64 mods with keyboards," he explained, is "something you should never do to yourself. He tried to play it with a mouse and keyboard at first but quickly discovered that a controller was almost mandatory. Emanuar's first exposure, however, was through a Super Mario 64 ROM hack called Star Road. Most people use emulation to quickly (and often illegally) play titles from their childhood. He grew up in the German city of Bremen and discovered emulators - applications that mimic older video game hardware - as a 17-year-old in high school. It's a bizarre, but perfectly playable mashup that Emanuar has been building toward for five years. Some rooms are inaccessible or streamlined so that players can quickly reach the next boss or power-up. Each map was adjusted, however, to accommodate Mario's acrobatic move-set - unlike Link, the mustachioed hero can wall jump, triple-jump and backflip - and the placement of 170 stars.
Kaze Emanuar, a prolific modder, rebuilt every house, dungeon and fairy fountain so it would be recognizable to longtime Zelda fans. The game is a meticulous recreation of Hyrule inside the Super Mario 64 engine. Epona, Link's reliable steed, has been replaced with wooden carriages dragged by overzealous Chain Chomps. The Forest Temple, located in the Lost Woods, is filled with colorful Boos instead of flaming skulls. Hyrule Castle, for instance, is owned by Peach and patrolled by pink Bob-ombs.
The world is a little different to the one found in Link's adventure, however. The unofficial and legally dubious project allows players to traverse Hyrule, the mystical kingdom found in the Zelda series, as Nintendo's portly plumber. But never have the two games been combined in a fan-made ROM hack like Super Mario 64: Ocarina of Time. Both have been celebrated with portable re-releases and a deluge of fan movies, artwork and soundtrack remixes. Similarly, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - the first in the franchise with 3D graphics - is considered a classic with a record 99 rating on Metacritic. Its large, imaginative levels and increasingly difficult challenges have defined the 3D platformer genre since its release on the Nintendo 64. S uper Mario 64 is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time.
