Nintendo is known for being fairly litigious when it comes to protecting its copyrighted franchises. Just last week, popular TikToker and\u00a0Twitch streamer Pokeprincxss<\/a> revealed she was forced to change her online name and persona by Nintendo to protect its Pokemon <\/em>brand. It seems Nintendo has been on a roll, as now a popular fan-made Zelda game, <\/em>known as The Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link<\/em><\/strong>, has also been shut down.<\/p>\n

Made by popular Mario <\/em>game modder Kaze Emanuar, The Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link<\/a> <\/em>is meant to fill in the story gap between Ocarina of Time <\/em>and Majora\u2019s Mask<\/em>. Nintendo\u2019s two Zelda games on the N64 are part of the same Zelda storyline, but how young Link makes it from the end of Ocarina <\/em>and the start of Majora\u2019s Mask<\/em> is a bit of a mystery. The game was created using assets from Nintendo\u2019s original N64 games, including 3D models, the map, and the music, which Emanuar and those he was working with remixed.<\/p>\n

But now, the GitHub page where the game was being hosted has been taken down, and a copy of the copyright claim from Nintendo\u2019s legal team has been posted there instead. The document states that, \u201cNintendo has reviewed the reported material and does not believe it qualifies as a fair use of Nintendo\u2019s copyright-protected work.\u201d Videos of the game from sites like YouTube have also been removed under similar grounds.<\/p>\n

The Missing Link <\/em>now joins a long list of terminated fan creations utilizing Nintendo IP, with the most recent addition prior being a XXX-rated flash game centering around Princess Peach<\/a>. An interesting wrinkle is that unlike pornographic princess flash games, The Missing Link <\/em>technically qualifies as a mod, as it required a ROM of the original Ocarina of Time<\/em> game to function. Someone may argue that owning a cartridge of the original N64 game entitles the owner to have a ROM of the game and modify it on a computer, but that argument has yet to make it to a court room.<\/p>\n

Many have commented on Nintendo\u2019s aggressive protection of its IP, often comparing it to The Walt Disney Company and the way it protects the likes of Mickey Mouse, Star Wars<\/em>, and Marvel. While fans may not like things like a Super Mario 64<\/em> PC port<\/a> or multiple Pokemon <\/em>fan games being shut down, it is well within Nintendo\u2019s rights to do so. Many also point to Sega and how it handles fan creations of its properties like Sonic the Hedgehog,<\/em> by\u00a0embracing and promoting them, even going to far as to hire fans on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n

Nintendo hasn\u2019t only been fighting battles on the software side of things either. Recently, Nintendo won a lawsuit barring the sale of the SX Pro from several websites, a device that enabled the loading of pirated games onto the Nintendo Switch. That was quickly followed by the FBI arresting two key leaders from the team that made the SX Pro<\/a> and other piracy devices.<\/p>\n
