There have been all sorts of mods created for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild since it was released in 2017, but one thing we're yet to really see is one that supports multiplayer. Can you imagine running around the game world with other players - fighting enemies, discovering shrines and climbing mountains together?
Well then, you're not alone - a YouTuber, streamer, and modder known as 'PointCrow' is offering anyone who can make a Breath of the Wild multiplayer mod that supports four players and fulfills a number of other conditions (as detailed in a Google document) $10,000 USD. Yep, that's quite the payout, but it's not exactly an easy task, either. Admittedly, we're not sure how Nintendo might react.
Some of the requirements are that the mod must be entirely free and four players and their individual inventories. Players should not be limited in terms of map movement and the game does not need to start from the beginning. A frame rate of 28fps or more is also required and the mod must be fully functional but doesn't need to actually run on Switch.
Perhaps the toughest requirement of all is that the mod must be completed "at least two months before" before the release of the Breath of the Wild sequel, whenever it is confirmed. This you've got what it takes? Would you like to see a multiplayer mod for Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Comment down below.

If it involves a large sum of money, it's immediately on Nintendo's radar. This contest will surely be taken down soon.
@ModdedInkling How do you take down a bounty? And how do you take down a mod, that nobody knows is happening? If people do, do this, its a race on who can do it first.
I wonder how it would calculate loading and draw distance. Different for each screen? Or are we only able to do what is rendered for one player at the moment, making them wanna stick together?
Nintendo will shut it down.

Reminds me of this masterpiece by Shoyoumomo
Nintendo won’t like that… it will quite literally be somebody else making money off their property, and in that regard I think they are absolutely right if they do end up taking it down.
There’s quite the difference between a fan game made for fun and being paid to modify a game on the market
I'm familiar with this streamer. Pretty sure its a response on the Super Mario Oddessey mod they have been playing recently, allowing up to 16 players to roam around together online without limitations.
In fact, it's amazing modders pull this off. A pity its so difficult to access for the rest of us, as I'm sure Nintendo does not have any plans on making any of dreams reality.
@Bankaj these mods aren't difficult to access, at least the ones that PointCrow uses. He makes all of them available on his discord for anyone to use.
Then Nintendo will take it down the second it is put up, 10k down the drain, how stupid can this person be? People who do this just never learn.
Im not sure Nintendo can take away someone else's money because they posted an incentive. The person still owns the money and they're offering it out of their own pocket. It's a loophole.
That being said, the person who creates this mod might get in serious trouble.
@Varkster they shouldn’t. It’s not hurting anybody. Nintendo needs to realize people wanting more of their games is a good thing.
@Ocaz If I had $5 for every time someone said Nintendo shouldn't which after Nintendo in fact did, I'd be Bill Gates.
@Varkster obviously. I’m sure most people will say it. Nintendo refuses to let people enjoy their stuff. I’m shocked they don’t just sell the boxes of games for 60 dollars and tell any cashier to flip you off. People would still buy their stuff with no game inside.
Wouldn’t it be cool if Nintendo saw this, and became the ones to make it?
I've seen a lot of ppl talking about this being taken down, but I watch Pointcrows youtube and the reward has been up for quite a while. That said, this site drawing attention to it might be the final nail in the coffin.
@BloodNinja Wow, a multi-billion company makes an update they get a measily 10k for. Im sure they can afford a christmas party for it.
@Varkster
That sounds amazing.
Yii can do taredowns and disect/mod games YOU own.
If they download the software they dont own its illegal. If they mod a game they already own, without making a profit from it or selling it to other people its legal.
So with the 10k bounty i dont know lol.
Everytime Nintendo "takes something down" it's still out there and easy to access, all this would take is someone anonymously sharing this in a Discord group and voila, it's out there forever and the modder walks away with a little chunk of pocket change. From what little I know of programming this might actually be possible but the incentive might need to be a bit higher than $10k to get someone off their butt.
I wonder if anyone will post “Nintendo will take this down”….. ah yes a load of dullards….
As for the set important plonker that offers 10,000k as a bounty…. Firstly 10,000k isn’t a lot of money….. for a task like this it’s peanuts.
Anyway…. As you were….
Something something takedown….. something something morale high ground…. Something something boring boring…
Came here to say the same, $10,000 is nothing for a task like this. Maybe from a youtuber, but if this was an employer I doubt you'd be earning minimum wage...
I will pay $10K if someone can replaced BotW's sounds and music with these.
Ill give 50k to anyone who can make it impossible to hack/mod consoles or games.
@dew12333 Okay wanna be Nintendo staff member.
@dew12333 don’t worry nintendo already invested millions to make it impossible. And still there are some consoles you can hack with a little piece of tinfoil. Those 50k of yours are just small peanuts.
@clianvXAi I did think that I under estimated there, but then I was only really talking about a chuck away amount of cash that I could afford.
@Ardisan That would be great, I think I would be good as an ideas man, thinking up new concepts for games and ways of playing games, maybe invent some new IP's.
Because lets face the industry could do with a kick up the arse in this area, and maybe the future games makers will do the same.

I wouldn't ever have much of a use for this but it could help create some interesting videos on YouTube, maybe a collaboration video between multiple YouTubers playing at the same time and having a fun time. I could see it.
Gaem over, n will destroy these peoples
@OldPierre77 No, all that stuff is misinformation. Nintendo mainly bans for piracy and online cheating since those are the only things it can detect. I've modded SSBU and 3 Houses for the past year and can go online.
I think it's a perfect idea but sadly I can't make it But I wish it was already made
10k? Man that’s a rip off. That is nowhere enough for my time and effort.
@Dirty0814 Think about other people that want it!
If we're making it just so it could be taken down then no thanks. Get permission from SM first, the creator of Zelda.
@Tucky143 people may want it but 10k is absolutely a rip off for anyone looking to get paid from if. It would have to be free for everyone so the 10k would be the only money made also. The knot
People that would do this are those that want it themselves, then you would still have the issue of getting paid because there is nothing legally binding this guy to anyone for payment. This is nothing but a publicity stunt if you ask me.
