Take what many consider the greatest game of all time (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6261546.stm). Add multi-player support, which everyone knows makes any game better. What do you get. An even greaterestgame of all time, of course, which is what this four-player Ocarina of Time hack (http://outlawer.net/bbs/index.php?topic=7.0) could very well be.
Okay, maybe we're overselling what is, at this point, just a video (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1151690/multi_player_hack_in_legend_of_zelda_ocarina_of_ti me/) of an early, choppy test version the hack. But considering it comes from the same people that brought us the ability to play as Dark Link (http://outlawer.net/vault/7/) and fight an Arwing (http://outlawer.net/vault/15/) in Ocarina of Time, we have no doubt he'll be able to pull it off. Whether the final result turns out more like Four Swords Adventures (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/04/legend-of-zelda-video-retrospective-part-4) or The Wand of Gamelon (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/09/09/awful-cd-i-zelda-games-get-remixed/), though, is still anyone's guess.
