Reworking video game classics under Unreal Engine 5 is a fashion we never tire of. This time it’s about Zelda Ocarina of Time. Rather admire.
The French RwanLink who is a Zelda fan, developer, and 3D specialist very often offers on his YouTube channel the result of his admirable work on Zelda Ocarina of Time. It’s quite amazing with the recreation, for example, of the Cocorico village.

So far the amateur developer has managed to avoid the wrath of Nintendo’s lawyers. The development of the “game” therefore continues to progress. It must be said that the man obviously does not intend to offer a playable version or even a demo and is content for the moment to simply offer his work in the form of a video. There is therefore necessarily nothing reprehensible at the level of the law.
Note also that RwanLink has a Patreon page through which he gives many news about his work on the game Zelda Ocarine of Time. Of course, you have to support it to have access to it. The latest development concerns Zora’s Domain, the video of which you can admire below:
This is simply titanic work on Zelda Ocarina of Time. Of course, some will be able to point out the fact that the Unreal Engine tends to standardize games and destroy the original atmospheres when it comes to a “port” of this type. We let you judge and we are content to admire on our side. This last video will have taken one thousand two hundred hours spread over eighteen weeks, which represents about sixty hours of work per week for RwanLink.
We can in any case salute the time and determination of the developer. What do you think of this kind of old game port under a modern engine? Tell us in comment.
