Zelda Online - Halo Mod!

Ever wished you could play Zelda OOT in multi player with all of those cool elving weapons? Well, now you can! As seen on G4 recently, "The Legend Of Zelda Online Ocarina Of Time" is a Halo mod set in the land of Hyrule starring everyone's favorite Vulcan, Link. With a completely new weapon system and combat system, this game is no longer Halo. The characters have their own custom animations, all the weapons have unique and equally useful properties. Vehicular combat will also be supported involving horse fighting by land and flying on an owl through the sky all throughout the various lands of Hyrule.

Don't whine XBOX owners, you can get the PC version of Halo from any bargain bin for next to nothing if you want to try this one out.
