    6.6.0 introduced the Archive, a new museum space for the mod.
    The Archive is NOT related to Legacy of the Dragonborn, so please do not expect it to be anything like LotD. 
    Only Relics of Hyrule items have displays in the Archive.
    If you encounter issues and glitches, let me know, but the general structure of the Archive will not change.
    It will expand with the mod, but I can't do drastic changes, and criticism will largely be ignored.


    Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom content will be implemented on a large scale in version 6.7. I will not be answering many questions about it, because everything is being considered for inclusion. Nothing from Tears of the Kingdom will be considered until July 2023.

    Relics of Hyrule is compatible with AE.

    If multiple things are invisible, that means the mod's meshes are not being loaded properly. You may have to reinstall the mod, or download it manually and install it through a mod manager after downloading it (assuming you use a mod manager).
    If those items simply don't appear at all, then the mod may not be active.

    When reporting crashes, be as specific as possible.
    Crashes are very hard to diagnose, so please give me as much info as possible.
    Otherwise I will have to ask stupid questions to figure out the issue.
    I guarantee I will respond with the following:
    Crashes and freezes are very hard to diagnose, so I have to ask a bunch of dumb questions to try to figure out what's going on.
    Are you on VR? Does this happen every time? Does reloading a previous save change anything? Are you running any mods that could cause a conflict, even a minor one?


    PLEASE HELP! You can help with Relics of Hyrule by contributing to the wikia.
    This video explains what you can do!

    There is also a quick info spreadsheet with a ton of raw data from the mod that can help inform the wiki, or for your own curiosity.


    If you are having an issue with the mod and installed using a mod organizer or manager like Vortex or NMM, I'm sorry, but I cannot help. Try downloading the main file manually and install using Vortex or NMM afterwards. That is the extent of my advice.

    If you have questions, a Nexus user has been generous enough to offer their support for using Vortex or NMM. Their Discord server is dedicated to helping users with modding Skyrim and Fallout.
    The invite code is here:

    Before reporting any issues, please make sure your installation is fully up to date.
    Also check the bug tracking section on this page and the spreadsheet at this link, to see if your issue is already known.

    Here are some quick notes about common issues. Let me know,
    but be specific about what you're reporting.

    If an item is blue or purple with no other features, it's missing textures or they are not being loaded properly. Reinstall or re-download and re-install. Usually caused by a mod manager.
    If an item is invisible, it's missing meshes
    If an item has black patches, then the texture or mesh is glitchy, but not missing.
    If an item consistently crashes the game when equipped, selected, or loaded, the mesh is corrupted.
    If a location consistently crashes the game when accessed, there's something in it that is corrupted.

    If a mesh has not been optimized for SSE, there is probably a reason. Please do not run unoptimized Relics of Hyrule meshes through the NIF Optimizer. Doing so could break the mesh.


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I am open to suggestions, but keep in mind that I will not add any quests.
    I am also not going to modify the Master Sword.
    I do *not* make patches or add-ons to work with RoH for any mods in any way. 

    I am open to lore/story suggestions, but I have a very specific story in mind and will not include anything that doesn't fit it.
    The mod is called Relics of Hyrule for a reason.

    Here's a spreadsheet that outlines ideas that have already been suggested and my thoughts on them.

    Before making suggestions, please read this chart of guidelines to get a sense of what suggestions are feasible.

    There's a video form of the chart as well.

    Truly a blessed mod. This is without a doubt my favourite Skyrim mod of all time. I still remember when I discovered it all of those years ago, casually browsing the nexus looking for a mod that adds the Master Sword to the game, when I stumbled upon this absolute gem (to think that I almost didn't download it because large mods intimidated me in those days). It's this mod alone that keeps me coming back to Skyrim again and again well over 10 years past its release date and is the only mod (with the exception of essentials like the unofficial patch) that I simply can't play the game without. The amount of work that has clearly gone into this mod is astounding and the fact that you're STILL working on it years later blows me away!

    The experiences I have while trudging through the dungeons, listening to some classic Zelda tunes while I do so, and stumbling across a new enemy or relic that you've added are absolutely surreal. The models for all of the relics are amazing (credit to you and all of the other talented modders that have contributed to that), and some of the enemies genuinely make my skin crawl (seriously dude, the Like-Like's are f***ing disgustingly good XD).

    However, my favourite aspect is definitely the lore - I still don't understand how you've managed to merge the two worlds of Zelda and Elder Scrolls so seamlessly, but you have done it beautifully. I still get chills and a genuine sombre feeling as I read through all of the hopeless journals and tomes of those who came before; chronicling their final thoughts as their entire world literally crumbles around them...

    This mod has clearly been made with an unreal amount of love and I am constantly ranting about it to anybody that doesn't have the backbone to tell me to shut up :) Thank you for sharing this gem with the world!

      Thanks for the kind words! It has definitely been a labor of love, and I surprise myself with how long I've been working on it. 
      It's also very heartening to know it has had such an impact on those who have played it, and that it is getting so much love in return!

      Your post is definitely a highlight, so thank you again. It's very nice to receive kind words in a sea of suggestions, bug reports and work.

    Just finished the main story of this mod, what an experience! I didn't think it was possible to so fluidly weave these two worlds together. I was initially skeptical that this mod was up to scale with a DLC, but you really weren't kidding. Those were some of the most creative environments I've ever seen in skyrim. It's criminal how hidden this mod is, I can't think of many mods that have this level of effort, passion, commitment, and care put into their creation. Truly amazing work, thank you so much for sharing this with the world.

      Thanks for the kind words! I definitely put a lot of work into it, and there's plenty more I want to do to make it even better!

    Just a heads up everyone, if you're running an older version of Skyrim (1.5.97 or so) and the game crashes after updating to 6.6.2.C, download and install BEES (Backported Extended ESL Support).

    For some reason I cannot figure out, when I have this mod enabled my game just gets stuck loading to the point I can never hit new game. No matter where I put it in my load order. not sure if there might be a conflict I don't know about, but it's a shame because I've tried everything to make this work.

      Install BEES. It's linked in the requirements.

    Amazing mod, add so much content, can't recommand enough due to the sheer amount of content.

    Couple of question :
    -Is the monster in-fight normal or is it something on my end? It seem to impact tektite mainly, as I've found them more dead than alive (exemple, in Winterhold secret grotto, the bokoblin oblitarated the tektite before I had the chance to see them.)
    -Is there a way to know what is missing in a display in the Archive? I know that with part of the triforce, it tells you what the display is about and how many items is missing, but for exemple, I'm missing a ring in the Hall of Prevalence and I have no clue of what it is. (I could try to craft all of them...with some patience though ^^)

      The displays will tell you what you're missing if you have Nayru's Blessing after returning her Moon Pearl to her Shrine.

      Thanks a million. I'm not that far off since I just crafted the key of Twilight (and that's how I saw I was missing a ring) ^^

    How do I get farther in the Sunless Depths?

    I have the note that gives a hint, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I know there are a few mirror shields scattered around Skyrim, and I already have the misc item 'dark glass,' but I'm not sure where to go from there.

      You'll need more Dark Glass. Also, look in the Rift; it's not a mirror shield you're looking for.

    I was looking at the wiki and it mentioned the Infusion Altar but there is no page for the Infusion Altar and my googling came up empty I got an indirect hint that the harp of ages is used to make one appear but the harp of ages page said nothing so can someone give me a hint.

    When I load a game, it says the relics of hyrule esp is missing even with it clearly showing in MO2. Am I doing something wrong?
    * seems I needed BEES ?

    Loving the mod so far! I haven't figured out what those blocks of time are doing or what to do with them, but I love running around with Master Sword and Hylian Shield in-hand, and exploring every cave I see with a fairy above it. In any case, I saw on your ideas sheet that you're not interested in doing the champion's tunic from botw. Any better interest in the champion's leathers from totk? Not sure what specifically your lack of interest in the CT is, but if it's lack of cohesion with Skyrim visually, the CL might work better. I'm definitely enjoying the other tunics, but botw was my introduction to the franchise, prompting me to go and find ways to play a number of the previous games, so botw and totk hold a particularly special place in my heart. Obviously, your mod and effort, so my enjoyment has no real input, nor should it, on what you work on. Either way, I'm very, very glad for all the effort you've already put in and continue to put in for what is in the mod already. Thank you!

    to the mod author JKalenad, this mod you've created has been quite the boon as it's my first time trying it out! while yes it has its annoying moments, I have actually its contents! I most certainly love having the Master Sword as my Dawnbreaker replacement and overall new favorite main weapon for one handed (together with the golden goddess sword for dual wielding, Zelda's bow for ranged combat and the Fierce Deity's Sword for 2 handed)! but I also had a ? for you: any chance of adding the Hero's Gear from the first Hyrule Warriors game and having both heavy and light variants? I asked cuz I'm mostly a heavy gear user and can't decide the best set to go along with my Blessed Hylian Heavy Shield and aforementioned above weapons! If not, no worries!

    Posting this here as well as on the bug page to see if anyone else has encountered this;

    I'm getting a hilarious 'good bad bug.'

    I'm pretty sure this is a compatibility issue on my end, but for whatever reason the armor 'captain's hat' ability is working as two separate instances of 'conjuration spells/enchantments cost 100% less.' Meaning that with it equipped I have -200% cost to ALL conjuration spells, instead of what should be the effect (-30% cost for regular undead, -100% ONLY for stalfos.)

    If I have the time tomorrow, I'm going to check my installation of RoH via xEdit to see if something else is interfering with the fortify conjuration/undead effect on the item.

    So anyone wanna spoil me on what item is in Lost Knife Cave, cuz I can't find the item associated with that fairy color in there. And I also need help looking for the ancient stone tablets 2, and 3 plus the nightfall clock

      Tablet 2 is in Untold Legends, Tablet 3 is in Glacial Cave. The Nightfall Clock Shield is wielded by the Master Darknut in Ganon's Tower. Lost Knife Cave has the Book of Mudora itself in it. It's in an Ancient Chest

      Thank you kindly good sir. I'll try going through again. I think I had this same problem in oldrim where I couldn't find the chest.
      And one more thing, I have both lokomo long sword components crafted, yet the option to make the sword itself doesn't show
      Edit: yep, that chest does not seem to be in the cave. Wasn't it in like that final area with all the animal cages? Or that general spot?

      No, it's up on top of a shelf in a sort of bar area.
