A new Unreal Engine 5 fan showcase has been released, showing off The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time running in the new engine. 

　　Created by YouTuber ‘RwanLink’, this fan remake of 1998's N64 Zelda installment shows the series’ iconic Lake Hylia running in Epic's upcoming new graphic engine, and boy, does this video has fans (me included) thirsting for a proper remake on the current-gen hardware.  

　　“The goal of this series is to reimagine these different environments as if they exist in real life using the Unreal Engine 5 and also to become a better artist in general", the Unreal Engine and 3D artist writes. “As a director, I also plan to present each of them with a cinematic. Even though I'm not a game developer, I also take the time to learn how to code to have a playable character and show you those environments from a third-person perspective.”
