YouTube’s ‘Etan Solrac’ is currently working on a fan remake of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker in Unreal Engine 5, and shared a new video from it.
In this video, we get to see a comparison between UE5’s Lumen and SSGI. It also provides an update on the status of this project. Spoiler alert, this won’t be a full-fledged free game. However, Solrac claimed that he’d love to finish the project and upload it so that all Zelda fans can play it. Well… that is until Nintendo takes notice of it and shuts it down.
From what I know, the artist has only recreated the Forsaken Fortress location. He also used a pretty solid 3D model for Link, so that’s kind of cool. I can’t see any enemies to fight in the videos that he has shared though. Perhaps the combat mechanics will be implemented in a later version?
Anyway, this fan remake has potential, so hopefully Solrac will keep working on it. And yes. As soon as he releases this fan remake, I’ll be sure to let you know about it.
Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, we recommend trying out these other free fan-made demos. You can grab a Superman UE5 Demo, a Halo 3: ODST Remake, and a Spider-Man UE5 Demo. There’s also a fan-made version of STALKER in Unreal Engine 5. If you love old-school FPS games, you should check out this remake of the classic FPS Blood in Epic’s engine. Don’t also forget the remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s Halo level in UE5 or this free Attack on Titan game. Lastly, we have The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Reimagined in Unreal Engine 5, a remake of Flappy Bird, and a Diablo 2 Remake Demo. They all look awesome, so be sure to give them a try.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
