Zelda: Ocarina of Time Unreal remake now has a completely playable first dungeon

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is getting a fan remake in Unreal Engine, and the entire opening of the game - through the end of the first dungeon - is now fully playable. There’s a demo available for you to try, as well as a full 25-minute video showing everything from Navi’s flight through the forest to the battle with Gohma. Just about everything is intact and accounted for from the original. That includes Link’s moveset, the quest to grab the sword and shield, the fixed shop camera angles, the placement of enemies, and all the puzzle design throughout the Deku Tree dungeon. Elements of animation still look a bit awkward and some of the controls seem a bit fiddly, but this is a loving remake that offers a cool vision of what a classic might look like in a modern engine. CryZENx has been working on this mod and others like it for years, and you can see the results of those efforts at this download link - at least in theory. As of the time of this post, the file is currently unavailable due to the limits on Google Drive downloads, but when it’s working it should give you a chance to play this opening segment and explore locations like Kakariko Village and the Temple of Time.
