The Legend Of Zelda: Glass Of Fate Arrives February 2027

Despite the Wilds duology currently consisting of two titles, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and with a third one believed to be on the way, it is actually uncommon for Nintendo to offer direct sequels to entries in The Legend of Zelda series.

Despite titles such as Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask being considered some of the greatest video games of all time, Nintendo did not continue their stories, instead making sure that the Zelda franchise continues to span across eras, artstyles, and gameplay styles, with the Wilds duology being the outlier.

However, it seems as though fans have taken matters into their own hands to keep some of the more classic Zelda entries alive, as Justice 2 Free has revealed The Legend of Zelda: The Glass of Fate, a fanmade game that serves as a sequel to both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

Featuring nostalgic Nintendo 64-inspired graphics, The Legend of Zelda: The Glass of Fate was created on the open-source game engine, Godot, and as a free-to-use program, it is incredible to see the amount of love that has been poured into this project. With a reveal trailer now under its belt, we can see the game in action as Link visits a land shrouded in darkness in the absence of a hero. However, after receiving a message that the land was in need of help, our favorite hero embarks on a journey, even if that means becoming a cursed hero.

Despite being an unofficial Legend of Zelda entry, it is safe to say that its creator wants to avoid the wrath of Nintendo. As such, the trailer is known only as Glass of Fate, and despite clearly depicting Link, it is safe to say that he looks a little different to normal. However, thanks to the N64-inspired graphics, he can get away with it.

Unfortunately, despite being inspired by the Nintendo 64, The Legend of Zelda: The Glass of Fate will not be able to be played on the older hardware. Instead, it will launch on PC, Mac, IOS, & Android with the first part expected to arrive in February 2027, with the following chapters arriving at a later date.

With the project still in development, you can keep up to date with its progress over on Justice 2 Free's YouTube account, and it is clear that this fan-made game already has a dedicated fanbase. However, as the developer explains:

First off, thank you everyone for your kind encouragement, this got way more attention than I thought it would. Second off, I would like to apologize about this not being a romhack or N64 compatible. I know a lot of you are very disappointed, and while everything in the trailer was captured in-engine, I am not a N64 hacker or even a good programmer. Scope is important to me and I promise that in using Godot I will try to push the scope as big as I am able to. Third, the animations are not the final ones. Link's especially are in a very broken state and are being worked on constantly to try and match the original as best as I am able.

It may not be an official Nintendo entry, but The Legend of Zelda: The Glass of Fate is definitely the next best thing, especially those yearning for the classic The Legend of Zelda entries.
