The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been brought to life again, thanks to a fan’s impressive remake using Unreal Engine 5.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, released for Nintendo 64 in 1998, was highly praised by critics and became the highest-scoring game of all time with 99 points on Metacritic. A remaster version was also released for Nintendo 3DS in 2011, with improved graphics, gameplay and quality of life improvements. But this time, one fan took the game to a whole new level.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Meets the Next Generation Graphics Engine
YouTuber CryZENx has created an incredibly impressive remake of Ocarina of Time using the Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine. This remake successfully modernizes the graphics and atmosphere of the game, giving players a nostalgic experience while also allowing them to enjoy next-generation graphics.
In the comments of CryZENx’s YouTube video, viewers praised the work. One user said, “I can’t deny that I have to respect your dedication to working on this project for almost a decade,” while another commented, “Your work is incredible. I will never understand why Nintendo doesn’t make remakes of this caliber.”
CryZENx spent years to bring this project to life, and the result proves how valuable this devoted work is. The fact that Nintendo does not tolerate such remakes and ignores the efforts of fans is disappointing in the gaming community.
In the description section of CryZENx’s YouTube video, links to download this fan-made remake are shared. However, there is a possibility that Nintendo may remove this work by asserting its copyrights. For now, it’s possible to play the original The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion subscription.
