A devoted fan by the name of CryZENx has unveiled an update to his unofficial The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake made utilizing Unreal Engine 5.
His efforts haven’t culminated in some hodgepodge singular level demonstrations either, but rather this devoted fan is lovingly re-creating Ocarina of Time with originally created assets from top to bottom.
The best part is, it’s free for everyone to immediately download and enjoy.
This Zelda fan game allows players to explore various environments, battle enemies, use the ocarina, break objects, collect items, and interact with NPCs. This fan remake of the classic N64 Zelda game also incorporates cut-scenes and an inventory system.
Nintendo unfortunately has a massive stick up their asshole when it comes to issuing DMCA takedown notices to fan-made projects leveraging their intellectual property.
Regardless of whether or not they use copied assets or originally created ones, so long as you’re making something built upon a Nintendo IP and are asking money for it, they’ll see to it that you and your entire family are dragged into the courtroom.
In his recent updated, CryZENx introduced DLSS 3 tech support, and this demo follows suit with NVIDIA’s Frame Generation.
The demo, accessible to everyone, can be downloaded from this link. His efforts have culminated in over one hour of gameplay, across 12 levels with stunning visuals thanks to high quality, high resolution assets in conjunction with the Unreal Engine.
While CryZENx has a Patreon, the demo is not gated behind a paid wall, regardless it certainly wont be long before Nintendo’s lawyers get ahold of this information and see to it that CryZENx’s efforts are terminated, so it would be wise for you to praise their efforts, download the free demo and share it around before it’s inevitably DMCA’d.
