The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time PC Fan Remake Officially Stopped

CryZENx has announced the conclusion of his Unreal Engine 5 fan remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which will no longer receive updates or new versions. All previous demos of the project remain available for download. The decision to halt development was made because an official remake of the game is underway, and CryZENx did not receive a cease-and-desist letter from Nintendo. He is exploring new project possibilities, with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess currently leading a poll.
