This new fan mod created by Demonslayerx8 adds a Shovel Knight skin over Ganondorf’s existing move-set. However, this isn’t quite the same Shovel Knight design that most are familiar with – as he’s super muscular and armored instead!

This super huge rendition for the character is actually pretty recent, and has already made some cameos in Blade Strangers and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

Shovel Knight is sure getting around with all the official and non-official cameos.
