A talented modder who goes by the name of u/ReallyBigSandwich over on Reddit has created a mod for the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that makes the game look like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The creator says 'Breath of the Wildrim' is a retexture project based on the Artistic Skyrim Overhaul, and uses their own custom textures. On the Skyrimmods subreddit, they further explain how their project is "unfinished" but is in need of the Skryim mod community's help because as much as they "love" Breath of the Wild, they're "tired of searching for 120+ different retextures".
The makeover won't be limited to environmental textures, either. According to the creator, "everything" will be retextured, including armour, weapons and creatures. We've rounded up some photos of this mod below (via Imgur):
What do you think of this retexture project? Comment down below.

Breath of the Dragon - Spicy!
That looks cool!
Well as much as I do enjoy Skyrim, anything that gives it a drop of color is very much appreciated.
Very pretty, but I do hope "everything" includes the character models, because the moment some fugly Bethesda person stumbles into the scene, it's going to destroy the sense of grace and beauty established by the mod.
Also, this doesn't really look like BotW to me, based on the screenshots provided.
@Ralizah It's because the shaders aren't done yet. Shadows aren't sharp enough to help give it that cell-shaded look.
Right now this looks less like zelda and more like... I'm not sure, I can't think of what to compare it to.
BotW trees look a lot better than that.
Feels like The Witness but without the highly saturated colors.
I love it. I wanna see some footage of this in motion. I wish the Switch version of Skyrim could accept custom mods. I'd drop this one in, in a heartbeat.
I don’t see the BotW comparison. Looks nothing like it, to me.
Maybe not quite Breath of the Wild, but it's still pretty cool. I might get this for my Skyrim now on the PC.
This site sure does love comparing everything to breath of the wild lol
This looks nothing like breath of the wild, it's lacking colour and is less cel shaded. But I do say the water looks better
@Kalmaro
Still looks better than the vanilla game.
@playstation_king
NL isn’t the one who started the comparison, the mod is literally named “Breath of the Wildrim”.
And it’s a work in progress as the creator states, it was never going to look exactly like BOTW overnight.
@brunojenso it looks more like breath of the mild on namika smitch 😂👍
@Doctor_Pancakes Trees were imported from Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Looks like the textures were set to minimum and that's pretty much it...
@Marxally Yeah, it looks more like they just disabled textures and went for gouraud shaded instead.
Awesome, after that he needs to fix the billions of bugs and glitches, change all the boring exploration and quests and make the game generally interesting... He might as well create an entirely new game
@playstation_king Basically now, anything that has a tree, some grass and remotely cel-shaded is a BotW lookalike
Looks cool but nothing like Breath of the Wild. :s
I would actually want to do a full playthrough of the game with this if it ever got finished.
Wait those tree textures are horrible! I thought that was the most grave of all sins! Something completely unforgivable! Aren't we supposed to demand the head of the modder for this?

I think this look would be awesome. The stylized look ages better than the original more realistic art style, which was was great in 2011.
