It’s no secret that Nintendo is strict when it comes to copyright infringement, especially when it comes to fan-made creations. The latest modder to be fall into Nintendo’s crossha🔯irs is Kaze Emanuar, wh🔯ose mod The Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link recently received the always inevitable cease and desist claim.
The Missing Link was released during the summer as a mod for Ocarina of Time, but its longevity has been cut short by a swiftly issued DMCA from Nintendo of America. The claim was sent to website GitHub - where the mod was previously available to download - which was asked to effectively “remove or disable public access” to the material in question. The attorney for Nintendo of America clearly stated that the company “does not believe [the mod] qu💝alifies as a fair use of Nintendo’s copyright-protected work”.
During the short time it was available, The Missing Link received a lot of positive feedback for Kaze Emanuar’s ingenuity. Using various assets from Ocarina of Time, the mod’s narrative was established between the events of Ocarina of Time and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Majora’s Mask. The mod included the same 🍨incarnation of Link featured in the aforementioned titl♉es, as well as additional items, dungeons, puzzles, and an original soundtrack. It was also noted that the mod was compatible with N64 emulators and the Wii Virtual Console.
Kaze Emanuar worked on The Missing Link with other developers, including Zel and CDi-fails to create the impressive collaboration. The developer's most-recognized work includes the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Mario 64 splitscreen edition and Super Mario 64 Land. Kaze has long been aware of Nintendo's looming presence, having issued several alerts pertaining to the channel's possible closure via YouTube. Videos of Kaze's previous mods,⛎ however, are still viewable, including a brief💮 teaser of The Missing Link which showcases the mod’s added features.
Nintendo’s hit list over the past few years has grown exponentially, as the company relentlessly follows copyright trails. YouTube channel GilvaSunner had 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the majority of its videos blocked due to copyright claims from Nintendo. Nintendo also hit various streamers with copyright strikes back in 2018 for showcasing the 168澳洲幸运5开ꦆ奖网:leaked copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Whᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚile it’s fair of Nintendo to not allow creators to profit from its intel🌊lectual properties, it also puts a downer on fans who simply want to share their passion.
