Second Wind came to be when a group of players felt that Nintendo didn’t properly utilize Breath of the Wild’s potential. It has over 50 impassioned fans working to make this a functional reality, including detailed new NPCs to meet and new gameplay aspects to explore. Even better? It completely overhauls key parts of the original story, like shrines. This Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild mod is called Second Wind and is pretty much an all-new fan-made expansion that gives new quests, NPCs, crafting, and so much more. In January, the company issued a warning to online cheaters in Pokemon, stating that it would ban them from Sword and Sheild, as well as Pokemon Home.There are many impressive mods out there, but for those Nintendo fans itching for new Breath of the Wild 2 news, this particular mod comes at the perfect time. Even in countries where Nintendo can’t rely on arrests to deal with hackers, it’s still trying to stamp them out. Back in February, another man was arrested in Japan for modifying and selling a Sobble in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Nintendo is of course notoriously protective over its IPs, and this isn’t the first time the law has gotten involved. The violation in this case was “providing services to circumvent the technical restrictions” of the Switch.Ĭommenting on the case, a spokesperson from the cybercrime countermeasures division of the Niigata Prefectural Police said: “Modification of save data should not be done in violation, and I would like to ask not to purchase the data.” While this might sound like the average thing you’d stumble across on NexusMods, modding games actually became illegal in Japan in 2019. In these ultimate save files, the modder would alter the abilities to suit the buyer, and also make rare items much easier to obtain. Copies of the game with this “ultimate” Breath of the Wild save were going for 3500 yen ($31 USD) before the authorities intervened.

However, the act of tampering with the game’s files for profit is in violation of Japan’s Unfair Competition Prevention Law, a breach which the individual has admitted to following his arrest two days ago. The 27-year old was reportedly selling a version of the popular game with the “ultimate save data”, as he would tailor the in-game stats, abilities and items to suit the purchaser's demands. According to local Japanese news, a man has been arrested in Tokyo for selling modified copies of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
