Recently, the Relics of Hyrule mod has been updated to version 5.23, this time featuring a few masks from Majora’s Mask shown in the trailer.

For those of you who don’t know, Relics of Hyrule is a playable mod for Skyrim that is frequently and diligently being updated with locations and items from the Legend of Zelda series in a unified way. Although previous updates may have included items and areas from Majora’s Mask, this one features some it’s more iconic objects, particularly masks, and other notable updates.

You can find directions of how to download the mod, multiple trailers of past versions, FAQs, and other background information here.

Although the trailer refers to the release of version 5.0, 5.23 is the current version of Relics of Hyrule. To clear any confusion, the updates since version 5.0 are fixes of minor issues that were part of the major updates back in 5.0. According to the core contributor known as JKalenad on Nexus Mods, the changes promoted in the trailer and overall 5.0 update include:

-Rebalancing of True Master Sword and removal of buggy disintegration in Dawnguard version
-Fixes for Ellary.
-Fixes (hopefully) for passive enemy issue in dungeons. This fix will also be applied to Dawnguard and No-DLC versions.
-Reworked Lore books. This will be an ongoing thing, but some hint notes will be replaced with full lore books that can also be found in loot.
-Modification to the appearance of the Link Between Worlds.
-Giving up on the Falmer follower in Kinolangdanzel. He is no longer a feature of the mod.
-New item: Nayru’s Shield (Legendary only)
-Possible tweaks to Farore’s Gale (needs more testing)
-True Four Sword
-Magic Sword
-Minor Modification of Kinolangdanzel boss fight
-Noble Sword, Tempered Sword and Golden Sword
-Itnamzand, a new dungeon
-The Shattered Lands, a new dungeon that features a very familiar building
-Summon Darknut Spell
-New Enemy: Gimos
-New dungeon: Vetrianaav

The Keaton’s mask and ominous glow of Majora’s mask look like some pretty cool additions to this version’s update. Not to mention the different variations of the Master Sword. One thing I appreciate most about the Relics of Hyrule mod, is that the creators intended to connect the Legend of Zelda and Skyrim in a mutual way without forcing a replicated theme on one another.
