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 .

Yep they started it on UE4 4.11, but kept porting all the way up to UE5 5.2 -- mainly to take advantage of the latest features Would have taken them less time if they stuck with one version, decided on a cohesive art style and ran with that Instead they decided to go super hard with overdone lighting, raytracing, DLSS, Lumen, RTX and pretty much every other buzzword feature Alas, it's their project. They're clearly a talented environmental artist, but there's a lot of other aspects of game design in which their showcase is clearly lacking. I hope they apply those talents on an original project someday as part of a dev team.

Yeah he's never made any progress. He's been uploading these remake videos for nearly a decade now and it gets him a lot of traffic. He always shows off the same areas and just add whatever the latest fad in graphics is on to it.
@@Shmidershmax Yeah, I'll be honest, this looks kinda garbo, dude should be trying to get his own style down and making a game instead of something that honestly looks like an asset flip, but he made all the assets.
It's just another lackluster "game" with pampered graphics tech provided by Unreal. He's stolen assets from other developers too. He's only in it for the money, doesn't know shit about game design or programming.
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.
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.
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.
Idk why this is getting a shoutout to begin with. It looks like a crappy asset flip. You've got a cartoony character model mixed in with a crappy attempt at realism for the environment and lighting.
"Crappy" Come on, people. Stop being so negative. This shit looks way better than the original! Open your eyes, stop being negative, or use a better word choice..@@RealEllenDeGeneres
@@kurtangusofficial I used my words wisely. Adding all the bells and whistles provided by UE5 doesn't suddenly make your game beautiful. A beautiful game requires good art direction and consistent execution on it. This game has neither. In principle, the original is better. You're making a false comparison to a game that was limited by the technology of the time.
That's shitty. To be fair though, there won't be any tangible profits or compensation to share from this. As soon as someone tries to make a dime out of Nintendo's IP, they'll warn first and then sue.
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.
Very impressive indeed. 💎 I wish someone would do the same with ALL the N64 classics like; Majora’s Mask, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mario 64, Super Mario Kart, F-Zero X, Turok 2, Banjo Kazooie etc.

@@willuigi64 True but I've played it on emulator on pc with texture packs that upscale it and wow it looks incredible scaled up i mean its a 3ds game somehow
What if I told you that this guy didn't make the temple, he just used someone else's assets, and that all the best looking parts of this "remake", were made by someone else he just asked if he could use their assets that they made without telling them he was gonna make money off of this.
@@NoOne-fe3gc he has a patreon that he's been making money off for years now, you can look at the pinned comment of a live stream by the name of game dev plays OoT Remake and it's by the original creator of these assets talking about how they regret letting Cryzen use them.
@@NoOne-fe3gc he does have a patreon (and a paypal?) though where the links to this are. While you can still download it for free he still advertises this project and people are donating to tiered levels with rewards regarding this game, like the ability to down load models, getting thankyous in the credits, memorials in the game world, a unique designed character in the game etc. Hes kind of monetizing it right now
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.
Not by himself, yannipappi or pizza idk dudes name. He made castle town and all the people in it. And didn get a dime for it. This wont last much longer.
I think I know what you, but specifically only for Link. He just feels....off, somehow. Sort of too realistic looking, but not realistic looking. Uncanny valley.
I remember when someone remade the first level of Sonic the Hedgehog as "Sonic Fan Remix" in Unity. It looked and played amazingly but sadly Sega shut it down before it went any further.
I would ablsolutely love a recreation like this for twilight princess. something ive talked about with my friends is a souls-like recreation of twilight princess since it would fit really well
What's missing? The game 😂 @@nuke97 this is legitimately just a WIP tech demo. You can't even traverse the map properly from what I've seen, it's just a bunch of set pieces
This is an awesome vid and thanks for sharing. You asked if there was another game we would like to see remade like this, and the answer is yes, I would love to Disgaea 7 remade and lifted off the page into a 3d verse fully immersive where we can ourselves travel to different universes via spaceships to battle the largest and the strongest. Also being able to run about and get to know our environments and the NPC within this world to uncover truths, facts, details and directions would be super cool. What makes this RPG worth the remake is that it beats all other RPG'S with its reincarnation system. I actually have a vid on channel explaining this partially as it covers a lot to do with gaming and GPU's. The vid is called pashants Rants: Games That Can Actually Date Our GPU's. Disgaea 7 Is one of those formidable titles I would most certainly buy again as it has great potential but unfortunately I find it to be VERY similar to its predecessors though it costs an arm and a leg. Taking games like Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and SpaceEngine as well as Space Engineers into consideration, These titles are massive tittles considering expanse open world and sandbox. They cost the same price as most silly games out on market shelves presenting us with tech of prev prev gen experience meaning, crap we have already experienced in our past only dazzled with better graphics. MassEffect legendary a fine example - re-digitalised with HD 4k but textures were left looking miles worse because you could now see how dated the game actually was. I still play 2007 version instead. Games nowa days demand 4k - 60fps - openworld.... not free roam over a larger area but Open World as in you can travel the whole entire world if you ever wanted too, and over 1000 story my personal preference would be 10000 hours+. Anyway - for this, I would like to see Disgaea 7 remade and can't wait to see what fully comes of this Zelda game, I use to love this in my childhood. Still one of my favourite titles to date oh... and a Mass Effect 2007 remake. Rainbowsix lass vegas 2 was a good game and maybe Pokemon brilliant diamond and Silver. Another game would be Hot Import Nights Juiced 2 and Naruto rise of a Ninja. Thank for sharing and keep up your great work guys. Your inspiration truly is well appreciated
This is just brown nosing and doesn't tell how broken the "game" actually is. There are no dungeons and the level selection spawns you underground in some areas. It's such a a hack job it's disgusting 😂
@@venuscynical1083 I know right? People judging harshly what they probably couldn't even come close to touching. And besides it's a work in progress. Let the guy cook.
Why hasnt Nintendo done this? Like. We all want this. Make a modern graphics zelda. Cmon. Make a really lush detailed zelda. Imagine like an adult zelda game. Like. Bloody and dismemberment of the monsters and such. Like. Thatd be sick.
@@SlothG4ming when has Nintendo ever? They're jerks when it comes to creativity like this. They'd rather cease and desist instead of hiring talented people like this.
Bright areas are too bright, dark areas are too dark, the camera should follow the original approach of being behind link and reduce the Motion Blur and the assets could be at least a bit polygonal. Aside from that, great job!
Nintendo should embrace this project. You can see it's a real labour of love. Probably the best computer game i've ever played. I f i were Nintendo i'd be absolutely flattered that someone is visually enhancing this game into a next generation look. From a business point of view they should let him finish it, invite him to delegate and who knows maybe re-release this game to an even bigger audience and recapture the magic to a new audience and in doing so make a ton of money too because lets face it this beauty will be an instant sell out compared to the state of so called triple A titles being made in this day and age that are to put it mildly absolutely attrocious. And lets not forget about this game's soundtrack. Arguably one of if not the best musical arrangements to ever compliment a game.
the MM 3DS remake made some very dumb changes. youtuber nerrel has a great breakdown video about it. one negative change in particular i can remember off the top of my head is they nerfed the zora mask swim in the 3DS version but there's a few more lame things they did
My problem with every single one of these Zelda fan made games, is the colors and lighting. They never capture the mood of the originals or the color palette correctly. Still impressive of course. But I want a truly FAITHFUL remake, essentially an upscaling but with new textures and graphics etc. 🦁
The amount of amazing remakes out there by solo devs and these companies don't just hire them to do it officially. Incredible. Superb work to the makers!
A good point of reference for what the low polygon visuals are representing is the official artwork, Ocarina of Time had some pretty solid anime/manga illustrations.
Why! For the love of God, why can't Nintendo instead of shutting down creative content such as this, instead hire such talent and give fans what they have been asking for for a long time!
This is so Wild, I had this dude in my Steam list because I used to play TF2 with him on the same server 12 years ago. really cool to see where people go once you loose sight of them ^^
@@findtruth5329 The hammer hasn't been brought down yet, but projects like this need to sneak launch. Everybody knows Nintendo ain't like Sega. They won't hire people. I get wanting to show it off. But if you're in this field, you're either hoping to get recruited or get shut down...Hopefully both. :3
@@theKlaw the Hyrule marketplace, one of the scenes that's the most finished was full on taken from a different creator so I've heard. I think it's broclibois or something, they play through what's available and half of it doesn't even load up properly. Their video really is one of the most honest videos about this project
This looks great - I really hope he can complete this project but I'm feeling very pessimistic knowing Nintendo's history with pulling fan projects with cease and desists. On that topic - I'm genuinely curious why someone would spend 8 years of their time putting together something like this, like I get this could be a passion project of sorts, but this guy should've known going into the start of this remake that Nintendo will likely pull the plug on this guy regardless of the work put into it. If it were me, and 8 years of my work gets shut down, it'd be soul crushing.
Honestly, impressive for one person and from a technical perspective too. But I would probably not play a remake of OOT if it looked like this. Looks not at all how I imagined the world growing up and I feel like that's always the sign of a good remake to me. It's an odd mix of realism and random stylized elements, like there's no cohesive art direction behind it.
For all the smoother brains, this guy is scamming the Zelda community waving fancy graphics and assets over a map that doesn't even function properly. Most areas don't have working doors. He's been collecting donations for 8 years and he full-on stole the marketplace from a different artist.
How many of these "projects" are there gonna be? These things never get anywhere close to seeing the light of day unfortunately... I would love something like this to be fully realized, but it's so much work for one person or even a small team. And now Nintendo is in full on lawsuit mode. Still looks amazing.
saw a video where some game devs actually played it and it was a mess. Boundary breaking within seconds when you can fly Navi around, the boulders still hitting you while you are in the menu, replaying chest opening animations after the chest is empty, attack animations being accessible before you get your sword, equipping the sword not showing the model, the spin attack animation glitching the hell out, water interacting with your model even if you weren't touching it, rupees tilting strangely on their axis for some reason, and on and on. The over reliance on post processing effects interferes with visual clarity for puzzle solving and navigation. To all the people holding out hope, please move on. It's half functional and Unreal is doing most of the work. It's a buggy piece of garbage that's not gonna go anywhere. If after this long and he hasn't even ironed out the basic bugs of the first level, the dev is NEVER going to finish this. Just go find something else to focus on.
Do you really expect a Triple A RPG from a solo dev? It's for running around, enjoying the game you love in high detail, not to optimize it to be perfectly playable
@@mushmello526 That isn't AAA standards. AAA standards for 8 years of development is Red Dead Redemption 2. What I expect from a solo dev that spends nearly a decade directly copying the work of a 30 year old game is not to have these kinda bugs & jank, especially if they're running a patreon so they can work on this. In fact, solo indie devs working on original projects are held to higher standards than this.
@@BradyRamaker And you don't consider the massive amount of dedication you need? It's not a job. You need to kick yourself in the ass every day. It's extremely hard to do that. So for a solo dev that creates this in 8 years, I absolutely am fine with it. Especially as Nintendo themselves couldn't give us less bugs with TotK and they are a full team
@mushmello526 I'm learning game dev now and i would hope i could figure out how to xerox the 30+ year old work of someone else within an 8 year timeframe, especially if i ran a patreon so i could commit time to it. Its like learning how to play the guitar chords of a single pop song from 1995. Give it up if you aint got it within 8 damn years. If you had a kid when you started theyd be in 2 grade. Dude didnt need to figure out any design, just reverse engineer stuff thats 26 years old. This should take less than a year, be fr rn.
@@BradyRamaker For commercial games, yes. But that dude just has a passion project he works on. He wouldn't do another game because this project is a waste of time. He could work on it for 20 years, just because he's passionate about doing so
I already have a game in mind, I would port. Robin Hood - Sherwood Forest. 2.5D Adventure game with stealth mechanics and fun characters. I'd love to see the base and the castles with modern graphics.
Has nintendo ever hired anyone who made fan projects involving their franchises? Most of the time i hear they just send a kind cease and desist letter lol
Cryzenx is a really impressive developer seeing as how this whole project, as far as I know, is simply a passion project. This is the guy who was memed into the ground with a comment saying "Nintendo hire this man!" on an old videos his his of Mario running around in a big empty field next to photorealistic deer. Now though after nearly a decade of development he probably has a good enough skillset to truly be worthy of working at Nintendo or any studio really.
I think this would be absolutely perfect!! I wouldn’t mind seeing this on the Switch! Also, think about how insanely cool it would be to have “A Link to the past.” In 3D!!!! Imagine standing atop the pyramid in the Dark world and looking around at the landscape of where you’re about to go!!! And how the monsters would look in game!!! Both dungeon, and in the world!!! Oooo! Just got the chills!!! Let me know what you think of that!?
Hire him to do what though? He's not doing any actual game design. He's taking a pre-existing game and recreating it in a newer engine. Give him a blank canvas and show me what he can make.
@@solidshark91493 It's not being looked over on purpose. It's because it takes TWO SECONDS of critical thought to look at this title and know what the creator means. AND, besides; if you actually cared enough to complain about it, then to think you'd know enough about the engine to warrant extinguishing that very complaint in the first place. It comes full circle, cancels out, and at the end of the day, breaks down to one of two things; either, 1) you're trolling/making a joke, or 2) complaining about something about which you are not informed. Outrage culture for the sake of outrage. Those who care enough, would know enough that they understand exactly what is meant by the title. Therefore, the only ones left are the ones who are either making a sarcastic joke, or don't understand the first thing about game engine development. They fail to understand that this was programmed in Unreal Engine itself over the years, and was then ported over to UE5 to take advantage of the new engine's features. This is then, by a matter of fact, a UE5 game that was in eight years of development. So the title was never wrong. It's just fundamentally misunderstood. In all honesty, all of this confusion could've been prevented by simply removing the '5'. Ultimately, I don't see how it's a big deal when people who don't know the difference would've been baited all the same whether or not that '5' is there. The '5' hardly acts as an effective form of clickbait here. (Yeah I know, long-ass paragraph for relatively nothing.... super quiet evening at work here LOL)
"The latest generation, Unreal Engine 5, was launched in April 2022." Spent 8 years remaking Zelda Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5, that is incredible indeed. Working so hard you brake time and space laws.
it's possible, but not clever unless you're willing to decompile your entire game. Why you think most games never get updated to the latest version of their engine? Like Hunt: Showdown doesn't run and will never run on the latest version of the Cryengine because it would cost them too much time and money it defeats the games overall objective. To make money. @@thomasamara1453
To be clear though I do think he changed from UE4 to UE5 as this is easier to do than most engines as it was built for companies to do that. (another reason unreal engine is the "bee's knees")
One, you covered this project before it was finished. Two, Nintendo likes to issue cease and desist orders right before a project releases so they make the creator feel like they wasted time.
@metcas Do you think OP here clicked on the video and THEN decided that the creator was scamming everyone for a decade. OP knew what they clicked on just to say it's a scam, I guess. Self-perpetuating hate. Good luck flat-earthers.
@@merickful No, he's right. I just downloaded it and played it. If it took 8 years of honest work to get that far... mans should stop now. Buggy mess, and honestly not even visually impressive when you get to moving around and actually looking at stuff. Pretty big bummer. Been wanting to play this for years, and finally pulled the trigger on this tech demo download, and am sorely disappointed. 0/10, will not care about this project anymore.
Honestly these ‘remakes’ of old games in the Unreal Engine only demonstrate one key thing-polishing up graphics do not make the game more ‘beautiful.’ With the originals, you can tell developers strained over designs and redesigns of the character models, art designs, animations, colors and lighting, the way the camera moves, so on and so forth. Making it have ray tracing, super reflective shiny things, etc just feels like a lazy reboot of a classic movie by big movie studios that churn it out without any real focus on the details but fill it with CGI and green screen fill-ins. I love N64 originals because they’re absolutely beautiful technological FEATS of game design and engineering on quite limited hardware. Same reason why practical effects in pre-CGI era movies were way more impressionable-2001, original Star Wars trilogy, The Thing, etc.
Why doesnt Nintendo do this and release it for the Switch? I'd love to play it again but I hate the old clunky controls and the graphics need updating.
unreal engine 5 = April 2022 video= Jan 8 2022 8 years before video= Jan 2014 video title=Someone spent 8 years remaking Zelda Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5 ?
So far, the recent game they took down due to coppyright was The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX HD however, that was because he used original files from the zctual game. This is something that has been in the works for years made with all original files.
Some models have been ripped from other games in the Zelda franchise for the Cryzenx's OOT remake. Specially in Kakariko village. Quite a bit of the animations and sounds have been fully ripped from Nintendo games.

"Crappy" Come on, people. Stop being so negative. This shit looks way better than the original! Open your eyes, stop being negative, or use a better word choice..@@RealEllenDeGeneres
@@kurtangusofficial I used my words wisely. Adding all the bells and whistles provided by UE5 doesn't suddenly make your game beautiful. A beautiful game requires good art direction and consistent execution on it. This game has neither.
In principle, the original is better. You're making a false comparison to a game that was limited by the technology of the time.
That's shitty. To be fair though, there won't be any tangible profits or compensation to share from this. As soon as someone tries to make a dime out of Nintendo's IP, they'll warn first and then sue.
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.
i agree completely
Agree
where does it look "realistic"? lol
🤓
Ship of Harkanian looks leaps and bounds better
Nintendo coming in hot after seeing this
Very impressive indeed. 💎
I wish someone would do the same with ALL the N64 classics like; Majora’s Mask, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mario 64, Super Mario Kart, F-Zero X, Turok 2, Banjo Kazooie etc.

What if I told you that this guy didn't make the temple, he just used someone else's assets, and that all the best looking parts of this "remake", were made by someone else he just asked if he could use their assets that they made without telling them he was gonna make money off of this.
@@diodora2381 I very much doubt he will make money out of it. He can't monetize this, it is Nintendo's property
@@NoOne-fe3gc he has a patreon that he's been making money off for years now, you can look at the pinned comment of a live stream by the name of game dev plays OoT Remake and it's by the original creator of these assets talking about how they regret letting Cryzen use them.
@@NoOne-fe3gc he does have a patreon (and a paypal?) though where the links to this are. While you can still download it for free he still advertises this project and people are donating to tiered levels with rewards regarding this game, like the ability to down load models, getting thankyous in the credits, memorials in the game world, a unique designed character in the game etc. Hes kind of monetizing it right now
@@topherman420cry more
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.
Thast what most of remakes should be.. it’s not hard… aaaa companies.
Not by himself, yannipappi or pizza idk dudes name. He made castle town and all the people in it. And didn get a dime for it. This wont last much longer.
This is super impressive and some aspects look great, but there's something about the aesthetics that rub me up the wrong way.
I think I know what you, but specifically only for Link. He just feels....off, somehow. Sort of too realistic looking, but not realistic looking. Uncanny valley.
This is incredible, but I'm stoaked for your game! I spent many hours of my youth playing the EV series.
I remember when someone remade the first level of Sonic the Hedgehog as "Sonic Fan Remix" in Unity. It looked and played amazingly but sadly Sega shut it down before it went any further.
Damn it looks so good! This would be amazing to bring back for the modern day.
i know right...wtf is with other people saying it looks horrible and just bashing it like they can do better..bunch of jelous haters. wastemanz
3:28 I'm sorry , but that simply looks incredible and that guy deserves the Highest Award in gaming no matter what! 🔥🎆
This guy has some serious talent: the art in this is spot on and the improved dynamics are.............WOW!
I would ablsolutely love a recreation like this for twilight princess. something ive talked about with my friends is a souls-like recreation of twilight princess since it would fit really well
Dark Souls 1 in particular has an almost identical aethestic to Twilight Princess. Particularly in the Undead Burg, Anor Londo and DarkRoot Garden.
It's beautiful. I can only hope he gets to finish it.
Sadly, it's unlikely. After 8 years, it's only around 7% complete. I would bet that's the reason Nintendo hasn't already shut it down.
@@JackOfAllTirades How is it at 7%? There seems to be way more than that already done. What's missing?

Not sure if you covered Rwanlink but that's some pretty impressive stuff as well!
This is an awesome vid and thanks for sharing.
You asked if there was another game we would like to see remade like this, and the answer is yes, I would love to Disgaea 7 remade and lifted off the page into a 3d verse fully immersive where we can ourselves travel to different universes via spaceships to battle the largest and the strongest. Also being able to run about and get to know our environments and the NPC within this world to uncover truths, facts, details and directions would be super cool. What makes this RPG worth the remake is that it beats all other RPG'S with its reincarnation system.
I actually have a vid on channel explaining this partially as it covers a lot to do with gaming and GPU's. The vid is called pashants Rants: Games That Can Actually Date Our GPU's.
Disgaea 7 Is one of those formidable titles I would most certainly buy again as it has great potential but unfortunately I find it to be VERY similar to its predecessors though it costs an arm and a leg.
Taking games like Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and SpaceEngine as well as Space Engineers into consideration, These titles are massive tittles considering expanse open world and sandbox. They cost the same price as most silly games out on market shelves presenting us with tech of prev prev gen experience meaning, crap we have already experienced in our past only dazzled with better graphics. MassEffect legendary a fine example - re-digitalised with HD 4k but textures were left looking miles worse because you could now see how dated the game actually was. I still play 2007 version instead.
Games nowa days demand 4k - 60fps - openworld.... not free roam over a larger area but Open World as in you can travel the whole entire world if you ever wanted too, and over 1000 story my personal preference would be 10000 hours+.
Anyway - for this, I would like to see Disgaea 7 remade and can't wait to see what fully comes of this Zelda game, I use to love this in my childhood. Still one of my favourite titles to date oh... and a Mass Effect 2007 remake.
Rainbowsix lass vegas 2 was a good game and maybe Pokemon brilliant diamond and Silver. Another game would be Hot Import Nights Juiced 2 and Naruto rise of a Ninja.
Thank for sharing and keep up your great work guys. Your inspiration truly is well appreciated
He should have kept it a secret he showed his hand, and that’s basically calling out the boss.Not wise.
Suuuper lovely. Huge respect to the creator and his attention to detail and style of the original. Would love to play this!!
Have you seen the BrocBois playthrough of the game? The game is a janky, horribly coded mess.
Marvellous work thank God people like him exist, talented, dedicated and just awesome! Thank you thank you!!!
it's weird how I have grown over the last 8 years to hate this graphics of unreal engine
The lighting and textures do feel kinda weird.
It's amazing how much more soul the original's graphics have.
Unreal Engine 5 was only released on April 5, 2022. How did they time travel 8 years of development of an engine that's only 2 years old?
Time machine.
He started on Unreal Engine 4. It's explained in the video.
I was following this. Thanks for killing it by shining a spotlight on it, LevelCapGaming!
This is just brown nosing and doesn't tell how broken the "game" actually is. There are no dungeons and the level selection spawns you underground in some areas. It's such a a hack job it's disgusting 😂
@@zacziggarot lets see you try making this whole thing by yourself then you can talk shit
Oh yeah, because Nintendo would never have discovered this.
You coming in here and crying also gives it traction. Use your brain.
@@venuscynical1083 I know right? People judging harshly what they probably couldn't even come close to touching. And besides it's a work in progress. Let the guy cook.
Awsome video, really enjoyed it 😊
Im trying it now its definitely relying on alot of Nvidia features and dosent look near as good on AMD gpus
Why hasnt Nintendo done this? Like. We all want this. Make a modern graphics zelda. Cmon. Make a really lush detailed zelda.
Imagine like an adult zelda game. Like. Bloody and dismemberment of the monsters and such. Like. Thatd be sick.
Imagine spending 8 years on this when you could've made your own game and monetized it!
That's why they call it a "passion project." Passion has no rationality, and people who own IPs know that
Also, working on a project where you remake a game that already exists is a great way to learn coding or project management.
When they say "8 years" it dosen't mean it was a 24/24h project, it was something made during free time maybe or just an obby.
Imagine you spend 8 Years and get a Job and Nintendo after ;)
@@SlothG4ming when has Nintendo ever? They're jerks when it comes to creativity like this. They'd rather cease and desist instead of hiring talented people like this.
Bright areas are too bright, dark areas are too dark, the camera should follow the original approach of being behind link and reduce the Motion Blur and the assets could be at least a bit polygonal. Aside from that, great job!
This is beautiful and I wonder if Nintendo could even make a better looking remake themselves!
Oh man! I want this to be finished soooo bad!!
Nintendo should embrace this project. You can see it's a real labour of love. Probably the best computer game i've ever played. I f i were Nintendo i'd be absolutely flattered that someone is visually enhancing this game into a next generation look. From a business point of view they should let him finish it, invite him to delegate and who knows maybe re-release this game to an even bigger audience and recapture the magic to a new audience and in doing so make a ton of money too because lets face it this beauty will be an instant sell out compared to the state of so called triple A titles being made in this day and age that are to put it mildly absolutely attrocious. And lets not forget about this game's soundtrack. Arguably one of if not the best musical arrangements to ever compliment a game.
The 3ds remakes of oot and mm were actually really well done kinda surprised you didn't even mention them
the MM 3DS remake made some very dumb changes. youtuber nerrel has a great breakdown video about it. one negative change in particular i can remember off the top of my head is they nerfed the zora mask swim in the 3DS version but there's a few more lame things they did
My problem with every single one of these Zelda fan made games, is the colors and lighting. They never capture the mood of the originals or the color palette correctly. Still impressive of course. But I want a truly FAITHFUL remake, essentially an upscaling but with new textures and graphics etc. 🦁
The amount of amazing remakes out there by solo devs and these companies don't just hire them to do it officially. Incredible. Superb work to the makers!
Cause it looks like garbage. You'd have to have zero actual to taste to think this remake looks even remotely good.
It doesn’t look all that great, honestly. Plus why would nintendo hire someone to do what they are already capable of doing?
it looks like trash.
@@IntegerOfDoom Why so upset? They gave their opinion, saying it's trash, and that's enough to warrant you attacking them? lmao So soft.
A good point of reference for what the low polygon visuals are representing is the official artwork, Ocarina of Time had some pretty solid anime/manga illustrations.
looks like a game someone would play on a TV show
Your age is obviously much younger than this game.
It used to look better a few years ago
ikr souless charmless game
@toycat_99 exactly. What's with these people and making shittier soulless versions of beautiful old games??
Someone make a torrent so Nintendo can't take it down.
Why! For the love of God, why can't Nintendo instead of shutting down creative content such as this, instead hire such talent and give fans what they have been asking for for a long time!
Because evil forces run the world

Great cover of this project. @cryzenx has done an amazing job on this. Love seeing all the updates as they come out.
8 years down the drain 'cus of videos like this. Kudos.
yeah but people have been show-casing this for years lol everybody wants to blame this guy
@@findtruth5329 The hammer hasn't been brought down yet, but projects like this need to sneak launch. Everybody knows Nintendo ain't like Sega. They won't hire people.
I get wanting to show it off. But if you're in this field, you're either hoping to get recruited or get shut down...Hopefully both. :3
@@theKlawprojects like this need to be shut down. The dude making it is a scam artist. The engine does most of the work, the lighting is automatic
@@zacziggarot If true, absolutely. But that puts me looking at two fake builds and Sora is just hitting the news. Ugh.
@@theKlaw the Hyrule marketplace, one of the scenes that's the most finished was full on taken from a different creator so I've heard. I think it's broclibois or something, they play through what's available and half of it doesn't even load up properly. Their video really is one of the most honest videos about this project
I have BOTW in 4K on my PC for my kids to play and nintendo is impotent to stop me.
This looks great - I really hope he can complete this project but I'm feeling very pessimistic knowing Nintendo's history with pulling fan projects with cease and desists.
On that topic - I'm genuinely curious why someone would spend 8 years of their time putting together something like this, like I get this could be a passion project of sorts, but this guy should've known going into the start of this remake that Nintendo will likely pull the plug on this guy regardless of the work put into it. If it were me, and 8 years of my work gets shut down, it'd be soul crushing.
I don't understand why games aren't created with this quality frim the start. There's clearly the technology & talent out there.
because money and shareholders ect its sad if tripple a companys didnt see people as just wallets with legs ppl pronbbaly would make stuff like this
because photorealistic graphics are not that good when it comes to game design
Honestly, impressive for one person and from a technical perspective too.
But I would probably not play a remake of OOT if it looked like this. Looks not at all how I imagined the world growing up and I feel like that's always the sign of a good remake to me. It's an odd mix of realism and random stylized elements, like there's no cohesive art direction behind it.
You can look for another video were someone plays and is a complete MESS, this is no good at all, the guy is a grifter
@@tbnalfaro He's doing this for free so is not a grifter.
@@zimrielwhat? 8 years charging on their patron is free now? It’s a business model at this moment
@@tbnalfaro fair enough. if Nintendo cares to take this guy to court, we'll find out.
so currently this is really just a series of impressive tech demos but its only two parts away from being fully made
This made me shed a tear. 😢So beautiful
Looks nice but could look a lot better. Animations on bridge as he crosses it etc...this just looks like basic Unreal filter
For all of the smoothest brains in here: the game was originally being developed in UE4, then migrated to UE5.
For all the smoother brains, this guy is scamming the Zelda community waving fancy graphics and assets over a map that doesn't even function properly. Most areas don't have working doors. He's been collecting donations for 8 years and he full-on stole the marketplace from a different artist.
How many of these "projects" are there gonna be? These things never get anywhere close to seeing the light of day unfortunately...
I would love something like this to be fully realized, but it's so much work for one person or even a small team. And now Nintendo is in full on lawsuit mode. Still looks amazing.
its like 80% complete
saw a video where some game devs actually played it and it was a mess. Boundary breaking within seconds when you can fly Navi around, the boulders still hitting you while you are in the menu, replaying chest opening animations after the chest is empty, attack animations being accessible before you get your sword, equipping the sword not showing the model, the spin attack animation glitching the hell out, water interacting with your model even if you weren't touching it, rupees tilting strangely on their axis for some reason, and on and on. The over reliance on post processing effects interferes with visual clarity for puzzle solving and navigation.
To all the people holding out hope, please move on. It's half functional and Unreal is doing most of the work. It's a buggy piece of garbage that's not gonna go anywhere. If after this long and he hasn't even ironed out the basic bugs of the first level, the dev is NEVER going to finish this. Just go find something else to focus on.
Do you really expect a Triple A RPG from a solo dev? It's for running around, enjoying the game you love in high detail, not to optimize it to be perfectly playable
@@mushmello526 That isn't AAA standards. AAA standards for 8 years of development is Red Dead Redemption 2. What I expect from a solo dev that spends nearly a decade directly copying the work of a 30 year old game is not to have these kinda bugs & jank, especially if they're running a patreon so they can work on this.
In fact, solo indie devs working on original projects are held to higher standards than this.
@@BradyRamaker And you don't consider the massive amount of dedication you need? It's not a job. You need to kick yourself in the ass every day. It's extremely hard to do that. So for a solo dev that creates this in 8 years, I absolutely am fine with it.
Especially as Nintendo themselves couldn't give us less bugs with TotK and they are a full team
@mushmello526 I'm learning game dev now and i would hope i could figure out how to xerox the 30+ year old work of someone else within an 8 year timeframe, especially if i ran a patreon so i could commit time to it. Its like learning how to play the guitar chords of a single pop song from 1995. Give it up if you aint got it within 8 damn years. If you had a kid when you started theyd be in 2 grade.
Dude didnt need to figure out any design, just reverse engineer stuff thats 26 years old. This should take less than a year, be fr rn.
@@BradyRamaker For commercial games, yes. But that dude just has a passion project he works on. He wouldn't do another game because this project is a waste of time. He could work on it for 20 years, just because he's passionate about doing so
I already have a game in mind, I would port. Robin Hood - Sherwood Forest. 2.5D Adventure game with stealth mechanics and fun characters. I'd love to see the base and the castles with modern graphics.
8 years in a game engine released in 2020?
He probably used unreal engine 4 back then
Eight years on an engine thats only been out since April 2022? Amazing.
8 years in Unreal 5, eh? That's crazy seeing as how UE5 wasn't released until late 2019...
I've never put more than 2 seconds of attention to this cause Nintendo will just shut it down at one point or another, period.
This actual Nintendo hire this man moment

This is the guy who was memed into the ground with a comment saying "Nintendo hire this man!" on an old videos his his of Mario running around in a big empty field next to photorealistic deer.
Now though after nearly a decade of development he probably has a good enough skillset to truly be worthy of working at Nintendo or any studio really.
I'm not a fan of unreal bland projects, it sure looks graphically intense, but it looks so souless without a proper art style.
I think this would be absolutely perfect!! I wouldn’t mind seeing this on the Switch! Also, think about how insanely cool it would be to have “A Link to the past.” In 3D!!!! Imagine standing atop the pyramid in the Dark world and looking around at the landscape of where you’re about to go!!! And how the monsters would look in game!!! Both dungeon, and in the world!!! Oooo! Just got the chills!!! Let me know what you think of that!?

Idk what's the point of your comment. You do know UE4 exists and projects can be ported over to UE5 right?
@@null643 the same thing that everyone else pointed out that you guys keep looking over on purpose.
@@solidshark91493 It's not being looked over on purpose. It's because it takes TWO SECONDS of critical thought to look at this title and know what the creator means. AND, besides; if you actually cared enough to complain about it, then to think you'd know enough about the engine to warrant extinguishing that very complaint in the first place. It comes full circle, cancels out, and at the end of the day, breaks down to one of two things; either, 1) you're trolling/making a joke, or 2) complaining about something about which you are not informed. Outrage culture for the sake of outrage.
Those who care enough, would know enough that they understand exactly what is meant by the title. Therefore, the only ones left are the ones who are either making a sarcastic joke, or don't understand the first thing about game engine development. They fail to understand that this was programmed in Unreal Engine itself over the years, and was then ported over to UE5 to take advantage of the new engine's features. This is then, by a matter of fact, a UE5 game that was in eight years of development. So the title was never wrong. It's just fundamentally misunderstood. In all honesty, all of this confusion could've been prevented by simply removing the '5'.
Ultimately, I don't see how it's a big deal when people who don't know the difference would've been baited all the same whether or not that '5' is there. The '5' hardly acts as an effective form of clickbait here.

"The latest generation, Unreal Engine 5, was launched in April 2022." Spent 8 years remaking Zelda Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5, that is incredible indeed. Working so hard you brake time and space laws.
You clearly don't understand game development works. It is posible to migrate from one game engine to another.
it's possible, but not clever unless you're willing to decompile your entire game. Why you think most games never get updated to the latest version of their engine? Like Hunt: Showdown doesn't run and will never run on the latest version of the Cryengine because it would cost them too much time and money it defeats the games overall objective. To make money. @@thomasamara1453
To be clear though I do think he changed from UE4 to UE5 as this is easier to do than most engines as it was built for companies to do that. (another reason unreal engine is the "bee's knees")
One, you covered this project before it was finished. Two, Nintendo likes to issue cease and desist orders right before a project releases so they make the creator feel like they wasted time.

Been wanting to play this for years, and finally pulled the trigger on this tech demo download, and am sorely disappointed. 0/10, will not care about this project anymore.
im confused UE 5 was released in 2022
Honestly these ‘remakes’ of old games in the Unreal Engine only demonstrate one key thing-polishing up graphics do not make the game more ‘beautiful.’ With the originals, you can tell developers strained over designs and redesigns of the character models, art designs, animations, colors and lighting, the way the camera moves, so on and so forth. Making it have ray tracing, super reflective shiny things, etc just feels like a lazy reboot of a classic movie by big movie studios that churn it out without any real focus on the details but fill it with CGI and green screen fill-ins. I love N64 originals because they’re absolutely beautiful technological FEATS of game design and engineering on quite limited hardware. Same reason why practical effects in pre-CGI era movies were way more impressionable-2001, original Star Wars trilogy, The Thing, etc.
Why doesnt Nintendo do this and release it for the Switch? I'd love to play it again but I hate the old clunky controls and the graphics need updating.
Gameplay with camera freedom is the best addition to modern game, just improvement needed, I would not restrict anything related to gameplay upgrade

Wow what a beautiful and impressive project.
So far, the recent game they took down due to coppyright was The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX HD however, that was because he used original files from the zctual game. This is something that has been in the works for years made with all original files.
Some models have been ripped from other games in the Zelda franchise for the Cryzenx's OOT remake. Specially in Kakariko village. Quite a bit of the animations and sounds have been fully ripped from Nintendo games.
