Hack by furyiousfight (aka Matt)
Any video plugin *should* work with this hack, however Link's GlideN is preferred.
Shoutouts to Arthurtilly for various code, Reonu for sound effects, and Janja for some models and textures.

Link's sword has a larger hitbox and more knockback than normal, there is no fall damage, and a few various smaller QoL tweaks.
There are 4 full stages with 100 rupee stars.

I couldn't figure out text engine so instead of a cutscene here's a lore dump:

The ancients spoke of a power so deadly and fearsome it had no choice but to be locked up forevermore,
the culmination of the power of all the souls in the universe. The Legend Soul.
The soul, the very essence upon which life is based.
In the far off land of Draelin power and souls are one and the same and if someone were to control the power of the soul they would hold dominion over the power of life itself.
After recieving a vision of the cataclysmic destruction of hyrule, Zelda sent her most promising knight, Link,
to end it before it began by collecting the legendary ancient Soul.
