The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time is one of the greatest games ever made, and it’s even better in Unreal Engine 5.
While some would consider it to be overrated compared to the games that came after, Ocarina Of Time is still a fantastic game to revisit, especially since it defined the Zelda series’ formula until it got a shake up with Zelda: Breath Of The Wild.
Speaking of shaking up the formula, check out the trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom below

However if you don’t want to play the game with its original graphics, and don’t own a Nintendo 3DS to play the remake, you do have one option.
If you primarily play on PC you can play an Unreal Engine 5 remake of Ocarina Of Time right now, and the best part is it’s free.
The game itself is exactly how you remember it, except the gameplay and the graphics have been overhauled in stunning HD.
It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea I’m sure as the art style is very different to the Nintendo 64 game, but you can’t deny it’s one of the most impressive Unreal Engine 5 remakes of recent years, and a lot of time has gone into perfecting it.
Unfortunately you won’t be able to play the entire game this way, only the Great Deku Tree segment and a bit of exploration in Link’s hometown, but it’s impressive nonetheless.
I doubt an official remake of Ocarina Of Time is on the cards for Nintendo, but if the Nintendo Switch 2 is as powerful as some claim it to be, a remake somewhere along the lines of this would be a welcome addition to its game library.
If you want to try the remake for yourself you can do so by joining the CryZENx’s Discord server, where a download for the demo is ready and waiting.
