Can you remember that? Unreal Engine 5 video by ‘RwanLink’ remember from last December? The video has not only hit us, but also on YouTube, after all, the video platform has already reached more than 1 million views since the beginning of December 2021! And of course many The Legend of Zelda fan hearts (especially fans for a echtes Ocarina of Time-Remake) beat faster.
The video created by RwanLink in Unreal Engine 5 not only looked beautiful and received a lot of approval, it also encouraged the creator to keep going.
What should you expect from this Zelda Ocarina of Time fan remake?
As with most Unreal Engine 5 fan remakes, it’s mostly done by one person. So nobody should expect a “remake” that could keep up with big development studios. Nonetheless, this video from a Zelda fan gives us the opportunity to imagine what a modern Zelda game with cutting-edge graphics technology could look like.
On YouTube, RwanLink describes the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time fan remake video as follows:
“In this new episode of Zelda [Ocarina of Time] Next Gen I recreated the famous Lake Hylia.
This lake is beautiful and full of mysteries, so I wanted to recreate that feeling by imagining what it might look like with the image from a movie.The goal of this series is to use Unreal Engine 5 to reinvent these diverse environments as if they exist in real life, and also become a better artist in general. As a director, I also plan to present a film to each of them. While I’m not a game developer, I also take the time to learn how to program a playable character and show you these environments from a third-person perspective.”
The fan video looks absolutely stunning and should be a treat for true Zelda fans.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was first released on December 11, 1998 (PAL release) for the Nintendo Switch. It is considered one of the best video games of all time.
More about Ocarina of Time
The game is supposed to be a fan project completely reprogrammed without violating Nintendo’s rights. Apparently it’s about to be released.
As it turned out I don’t really like Miyamoto Navi. So wouldn’t she be in a possible Nintendo remake?
For those still looking for a challenge to replay Ocarina of Time: One player managed this WITHOUT using the sword.
