Thank you so much for such an incredible video and thanks for everyone for the good feedback ! Sadly the game still suffers from more bugs after switching to unreal engine 5 but im getting there to make the game even better in the future 🙏 i want to add that several people helped for the project once aswell about level design, all the credits are inside my discord if someone is interested .

But all the gameplay core elements amd how all functions / gameplay is connected is completely made from scratch by myself

7/8 years of learning the engine + i had 15 more projects done in these years not to forget

You covering this is definitely going to get him a cease and desist now.

There is no way Nintendo is letting this happen.

It's really impressive that they were able to recreate this in UE 5 before it was even available.

If anything it's evident how much of an impact this game has had on generations.

I played Ocarina of Time in 1998 when I was 14 years old. It was the first game I played in a 3d format.
The music alone gives me a giant rush of nostalgia.

8 years remaking ocarina of time in an engine that is less than 2 years old... this guy is the real hero of time! joking aside It looks amazing. i assume it was UE4 then just ported to UE5 when it came out.

It seems the majority of people don't know about the drama involved with this remake. CryZen absolutely did not do this on his own. He, in fact, took assets from another game developer who built Castle Town without providing any credit and is now profiting off of his hard work. If you look closely as well, Castle Town is very clearly more detailed and polished in comparison to other areas he worked on. And that's just one creator out of a fair few that aren't receiving credit or any compensation for their work. CryZen taking on such an ambitious project is admirable and he has put in a ton of work himself, but there's some really shady background to the story that most people seem to be unaware of.

When I first fired up BotW on emulation in 4K I was blown away. This takes it to another level with OoT. I love these projects so much. Hopefully they don't get shut down.

It sure feels like an Unreal Engine ‘remake’. Take that as you will.

Pro tip: if you get preydogs UEVR injector, you can play this project on a PCVR capable headset with full 6DOF and motion controls. You can even set it up to play in first person or 3rd person.

This is really good. Like you said, most of UE demoes look the same, too photorealistic to really stand out with any real personality. This one seems like the creator's own take but still a faithful rendition of the source. Kind of cartoonish and whimsical.

[rscrubs]

unfortunately just like most of these "X game remade in Unreal Engine" games, it LOOKS good but I don't think I'd want to actually play it. They always go way overboard on the lighting and make things way too dark or way too bright to actually be fun to play in a lot of areas.

[IsaacxCasanova]

This looks absolutely incredible!
I remember getting this game on my N64. Played it so much. I think I need to try out this remake. 😍

[LockedChest]

Hopefully the exposure doesn't get this project shut down.

[Christo_glenn]

I think that this project demonstrates the importance of good art style over flashy high fidelity. The original art was intended to be more on the cartoonish side, and I think the realistic assets clash with this design.

[MrHGravity]

If his goal is to just glow up OOT as hard as he can, then more power to him. But it certainly cracks and tears the cohesion of the art and design. I find it a fascinating study of presentation. It's not like this glow up couldn't work, but you would have to abandon some source material, the goron city is a great example of that.

IT ABSO-FUCKING LUTELY IS MODERN SHUT UP REPLIES

This looks beautiful. My childhood was this game for hours on end

Nintendo coming in hot after seeing this
