Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Purah is now a professional skateboarder thanks to this Tony Hawk mod.

When The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom launched back in May, fans were quick to crown Purah, a researcher who's over 100 years old, the game's best character. She's not only got a wicked style but provides Link with essential gadgets, such as the paraglider, and information crucial to his quest.

On top of that, she's now also a skateboarding pro, thanks to a new mod from Twitter user KazuCrash. "Purah (Tears of the Kingdom) is now publicly available for Tony Hawk's Underground 2 / THUG Pro!" the modder reveals on Twitter. Sadly they didn't include a video of the Sheikah showing off her skateboarding skills, but they did share an image of the character model, created by DeviantArt user Vile3D, on a skateboard to give you an idea.

Purah (Tears of the Kingdom) is now publicly available for Tony Hawk's Underground 2 / THUG Pro! Special thanks to Vile3D on DeviantArt for the model. https://t.co/7mckdHFaDh pic.twitter.com/wrjagxFHIUJune 26, 2023

KazuCrash's creation is available over on THPSX, and according to the download page, Purah replaces skater Chad Muska by default.

For those unaware, THUG Pro is a total conversion mod for Tony Hawk's Underground 2, which collects levels from throughout the series into a single game and is certainly worth looking into if you're interested in more fan-made skaters and custom levels.

This isn't the first time the latest Zelda game has crossed paths with the American pro skateboarder either, as earlier this year, a player decided to throw caution to the wind and complete a shrine Tony Hawk-style by using a shield to rail grind from one platform to the next rather than work out the regular solution.

To see how you, too, can turn Link's latest adventure into a Tony Hawk's title, check out our Zelda Tears of the Kingdom shield surfing guide.

Freelance Writer

Originally from Ireland, I moved to the UK in 2014 to pursue a Games Journalism and PR degree at Staffordshire University. Following that, I've freelanced for GamesMaster, Games TM, Official PlayStation Magazine and, more recently, Play and GamesRadar+. My love of gaming sprang from successfully defeating that first Goomba in Super Mario Bros on the NES. These days, PlayStation is my jam. When not gaming or writing, I can usually be found scouring the internet for anything Tomb Raider related to add to my out of control memorabilia collection.
