🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformZelda: Ocarina of Time remake dev cancels Unreal Engine-based project
The fan-made PC project is ending ahead of Nintendo's official remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2.
🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformOcarina Of Time Fan Project Bows Out Before Nintendo Comes Knocking
A fan recreating Ocarina of Time(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time/) has scrapped the project, citing fears of "Nintendo ninjas" following the official announcement of the Switch 2 remake. According to IGN(https://www.ign.com/articles/zelda-fan-ditches-ocarina-of-time-unreal-engine-remake-after-a-decade-of-work), YouTuber CryZENx(https://www.youtube.com/cryzenx) pulled the plug on their The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time PC recreation after at least a decade of working on it. In a blog post on their official Patreon(https://www.patreon.com/CryZENx/posts/future-plans-160924640), CryZENx told their community that the "Ocarina of Time project has officially stopped." CryZENx didn't provide an exact reason for the cancellation, but in the comments, they explained that "it's better to just stop the project for now or I would have disappeared … because of Nintendo ninjas." It's no secret that Nintendo is quite litigious when it comes to its IP. Just look at the lawsuit the company levied against Palworld developer Pocketpair, which appears to be nearing its end(https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/palworld-lawsuit-nears-end-with-nintendo-reportedly-poised-to-gain-almost-nothing/). The company also went after an alleged pirate in October 2025(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-is-suing-a-reddit-moderator-for-4-5-million/1100-6535259/) for hosting piracy sites. And in May 2025, Nintendo threw its blue shell at the gaming accessory company Genki(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-sues-accessory-firm-genki-over-unauthorized-switch-2-lineup/1100-6531304/) for "unauthorized" Switch 2 mockups, with that lawsuit getting settled in September of that year(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/switch-2-mockup-creator-ordered-to-pay-nintendo-damages/1100-6534603/). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZGKmisSDmk It would seem that CryZENx doesn't want anything to do with Nintendo's lawyers, hence why they're ending development. Their YouTube channel is filled with videos showcasing the project (which was being built in Unreal Engine), so it's entirely possible Nintendo may come a-knocking. Despite fearing "Nintendo ninjas," CryZENx polled their community in that same Patreon blog, asking what other projects they should work on. The list is stacked with Nintendo IP, from Diddy Kong Racing to Twilight Princess to Metroid Prime Hunters. Nintendo finally revealed The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-finally-reveals-the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-for-2026/) during its summer Nintendo Direct Showcase. The announcement was short and contained zero gameplay(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/zelda-ocarina-remakes-lack-of-gameplay-did-it-a-disservice/), but it generated millions of views--as well as concerns that it may smooth down the game's rougher edges(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-sands-down-series-edges/). We'll find out when it lands on Nintendo Switch 2 sometime this year.
