Remake
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time comes to life in Unreal Engine 5 thanks to a user; demo available
A user imagines how Ocarina of Time would look like in Unreal Engine 5. He offers a playable demo for your computer if you are part of his Patreon.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time shows off some graphical power in the community's latest work. A user has ventured to create a remake of the Nintendo classic using Unreal Engine 5. All the visual potential is present: Lumen, DLSS support and ray tracing. The result, as you can see in the video below this paragraph, is simply spectacular and respectful of the original game's visual line.

“Finally ported to UE5 and I don't regret one bit,” notes CryZENx, its creator, in a post on its Patreon page. “There are so many new features that can boost up the development. Cant wait to take advantage of it.“
CryZENx refers to the fact that the project has been around for a long time. He did the same with the previous version of the graphics engine. Given the ease of moving it to the next generation, we can now see it as it takes advantage of the latest technologies. He warns that those with NVIDIA RTX graphics will be able to get "a 20% performance boost” without losing graphics quality.
At the moment, the author offers a playable demo of the Temple of Time exactly like the one seen in his video. The only catch is that you need to support his Patreon to get the download link.
This is not the first time they have tried to bring this release to Unreal Engine 5. At the end of 2021, we saw another creation that imagined how the game would be with a somewhat more realistic style. In that case, it was a demo that was not shared with the public.
Haven't played it yet? Currently, you have several ways to enjoy it on current platforms. The first and most obvious is having a Nintendo Switch. By being a member of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack you can access part of the Nintendo 64 catalog, among which is Ocarina of Time. On the other hand, a Nintendo 3DS allows you to play the only official remake published by the Japanese company.
