Ocarina of Time is probably the most legendary Zelda part and with a Metacritic score of 99 percent also one of the best video games ever.

No wonder that the Nintendo 64 game captivates countless players even 20 years after its release. Below is also the YouTuber Cryzenx, who works on a remake for Ocarina of Time .

In regular update videos, it not only shows gameplay on his channel, but also provides insights into the elaborate development :

Cryzenx currently uses the Unreal Engine 4 for the remake, which makes the project even more impressive. Especially if you compare it to Breath of the Wild, which also uses the Unreal Engine 4.

It is clearly noticeable how limited the engine is on the switch while it unfolds her full potential on the PC . For example, the remake offers realistic light, as well as dynamic smoke and water effects.

Cryzenx has already announced that he wants to switch to the Unreal Engine 5 in the future so that the project will be worthy of a real next-gen game.

Small note: You can download the latest version of the Ocarina-of-Time remake via the Discord server from Cryzenx. You can find the link on its YouTube channel.
