This looks awesome. It'll almost certainly be taken down but it seems they opted to wait until it was done and just release it, at which point the file will never really go away. Link's Awakening already has a modern remake with it's own take on trying to add a more flexible camera though so I wish it had been A Link to the Past or similar. I'll take what I can get for free though!

They definitely took notes from previous attempts to take down fan projects by releasing it anonymously when it was completely finished. In fact, it's kinda surprising just how well the creators kept it under the radar too; neither the modding scene for Link's Awakening/the Zelda series as a whole nor the folks disassembling the original game knew a thing about the project until its release.

It just came completely out of nowhere, and took us all by surprise.
