CryZENx is a user with incredible skills, as he's a game designer, programmer, and animator, so he's decided to put all his knowledge to use to create monumental projects that are almost impossible to imagine. And all these projects share the same goal: to remake legendary games so they look much better with current technologies—in other words, he makes remakes . And his most anticipated project is the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
An unofficial Zelda remake
What began as small tests and experiments eight years ago has, in the last year, become a major undertaking that he's determined to complete. CryZENx has a YouTube channel where he uploads all his progress, and while he initially started creating Zelda scenes with Unreal Engine 4, his goal now is to create a complete remake of Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5.
This allows for striking textures and lighting that completely transform the game from its original Nintendo 64 version . The result is evident in the videos he uploads to his channel, achieving fantastic fidelity in terms of gameplay and visuals, while offering the stunning visuals of the new graphics engine.
Download and play
With the idea that Zelda fans can experience this personal project, its creator has shared a link through his Patreon account from which you can download a demo of Goron City , a region of the game that you can explore with the challenges and dialogues that are present in the original game.
As it is a demo, we will only be able to explore this region, since its creator is still working on completing the remake in its entirety step by step. For now, only with the demo, you can enjoy all these improvements:
- Link's design is very realistic
- The clothes have details of dirt
- There are animations and mechanics in the gestures of drinking water and potions
- A mini game has been included
It must be taken into account that the work of this remake falls solely on one person, its creator, so the effort he is making is incredible. Little by little, CryZENx is remaking the entire game, and although for now it is limited to completing sections, it will continue working until it can reach the maximum possible.
