You may already be familiar with the project we're going to talk about here, for the simple reason that it started eight years ago. Led by independent developer CryZENx, the unofficial remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time continues to dazzle fans, and the video released on 31 December will only add to that enthusiasm.

This is not the first time CryZENx has done this. The developer has already worked on unofficial remakes of Super Mario 64 and Diddy Kong Racing, two other major titles from the Nintendo 64.

The developer has now released a 30-minute video of his remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which runs on Unreal Engine 5.5. This version of the graphics engine displays more detail, uses Lumen technology (for fully dynamic global illumination and reflections) and incorporates DLSS upscaling.

The video highlights the village of Kakariko in particular, with never-before-seen detail in both indoor and outdoor environments. CryZENx has also announced that it is currently working on the next update to the project, which will focus on the domain of Zora.

It's important to stress that this is not just a technical demo, but a playable version with exploration, combat, interaction with NPCs, inventory management and cinematics animated by the game engine.
