What a great way to honor not only Banjo and OoT, but also Nintendo games as a whole. It is as good as the original Banjo-Kazooie. This is by far the best hack I have ever played.

I loved this so much. The music is amazing. The stages are amazing. All the easter eggs are amazing. What a great way to experience Banjo in a different way.

Now, all the issues with the original Banjo-Kazooie remain. Some not great controls, some hard to judge jumps, note count resetting upon exit or death, and an even more infuriating version of the final boss. Kurko Mods somehow made it harder and more annoying. They must hate us.

This game rewards knowledge of not only Banjo but OoT. It hits different if you know both games. It is a love letter to both Banjo and Zelda.

On occasion, I did find it to be too sneaky with collectables. I had to look things up to progress many times. It's harder to collect everything, especially the notes. Sometimes things are just a bit too well hidden. I thought many times in my head, "How was I ever supposed to find that without a guide?"

I cannot express how great the music is. Zelda music done in Banjo's style. The easter eggs are exciting to find. The stages are well made. Some being straight up copies of OoT areas and others being inspired by an area. The humor is spot on too.

One of the late stages is by far my favorite Banjo stage ever. I cannot spoil it for you. But you will know when you get to it.

Play this if you need more Banjo and love OoT. It was my game I played in 2023. I have not smiled that much playing a game in such a long. It hit my nostalgia just right, but also being its own new experience. Kind of like FFVII Remake. I had the same weird feeling of nostalgia but it being a brand new experience. A great experience.

Note: It is easy enough to find online as well. Most places have it already patched. It is not hard to patch in though. You play it like any other rom. It's a pretty stable experience. I only had 1 or 2 crashes. I did have some graphical bugs and a bit of framerate issues but remember, it's a rom-hack. It won't ever be perfect. Nothing was game breaking. They were very minor complaints. And in all honesty, that could have been my fault due to my settings or PC.

a competent romhack that vastly outdoes most of its contemporaries. while it isnt outstanding in any way, and its content by its very nature is mostly unoriginal, the creativity in using that content is genuinely impressive. adding new areas and cutting ones not necessary for the levels to function was a very good move, and the writing is surprisingly amusing as well. still, without more custom programming, only so much could be done and there ultimately isnt anything in here thats mind-blowing, with the final boss being a particular let-down.

A very impressive romhack that reignited mr love for Banjo Kazooie! Essentially a full new Banjo experience the game combines areas from Ocarina of Time and throws the Banjo-Kazooie cast into it for a super fun ride. The game even has a crazy amount of Easter eggs to other games which were always a delight to find.

Some jiggies I found quite tricky to find teetering on the point of unfair which if you didn’t need almost all of them to get to the final boss I wouldn’t of minded as much but that was the case in the original game so I won’t dock it too many points. I did also have a decent chunk of camera issues which did lead to some frustration.

If you have played the original game a ton like I have then definitely check this out! I plan to check out more of Kurkos mods in the future
