One of the reasons Batman is the king of comic book crossovers is that he’s highly adaptable to almost any time and place, even when it’s not his world at all. For example, a fan-created mod for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild features the Dark Knight trading the urban decay of Gotham City for the wide open countryside of Hyrule. And as you can see in the video below, Batman quickly makes himself at home in Link‘s territory.
Via ComicBook.com, the Batman Breath of the Wild mod was created by WilianZilv, and it’s a strikingly effective take on Bruce Wayne’s alter ego. The mod results in some unintentionally amusing moments, like Batman missing a few key frames of Link’s animation when eating a honeyed apple, but when it comes to saving the citizens of Hyrule, Batman fits right in as a defender of justice. In this mod, the Lizal Boomerang becomes the de facto Batarang, and the Batglider replaces the in-game glider used by Link.
WilianZilv has posted his Batman mod on Gamebanana. It’s not the first time that he’s tinkered with Nintendo’s masterpiece. Some of his previous Zelda mods have introduced God of War‘s Kratos, Shrek, One-Punch Man, and Dragon Ball‘s Goku into the game. WilianZilv is even working on mod that turns Zelda herself into a playable character. But we particularly enjoyed this mod, which features Toy Story‘s Woody and Buzz as they bring new meaning to “falling with style.”
