That was terrible.
I'm sorry.
If anything, this should be proof that zelda should never go the realistic graphics route.

Zelda Ocarina of Time: Kakariko Village - Unreal Engine 5 Fan Remake

Yeah, I agree with the people who've said Nintendo's art direction is much stronger than what we see in this video. What I do like about it though is the amount of vegetation and how overgrown the village looks; that's something I wouldn't mind seeing from Nintendo. I'm not sure it needs this kind of realistic style though.
Sometimes it's better to just stop posting before embarrassing yourself
Awful.
All 100 frames of that entire video was proof that "shiny graphics" isn't the be all end all. There is a delicate balance of art style and performance management that goes in to a game so it doesn't run like shit while still looking good.
This video is a master class in ignoring every single principle of game design and 3D animation.
I'd be curious to know what and if the creator actually made anything themselves or if they just took everything from existing marketplace assets and arranged them to the map of the village.

Of course. That's how memes like this get started. Making fun of people who have certain opinions.
You could find a handful in this thread only lol there are people posting here, on Resetera, saying Nintendo doesn't make games that look like that because they want to save money.
Imagine what you could find in random YouTube comments.
Link just looks so out of place in such a realistic world. I feel like he'd need a complete redesign for this to even have a shot at working, but really I'm not sure OoT is really suited to this sort of high-fidelity look, period.
Ya'll are unreasonably salty over a tiny fan project by an amateur artist who doesn't know much about coding. Link looks out of place but the environment is really nice, in any other situation this would be a moment for him to get words of encouragement. Here's another piece by them
There's clearly spots that need work but going through their upload history you can see that they've been putting in work.

Since there are so many people responding to my joke, I just don't see Nintendo "HIRING THIS MAN!" given how underwhelming their visuals are. Art style means nothing when BotW has assets and animations that make it feel like an early PS3 game (with similar framerate dips to boot)
Probably this. It doesn't mean it didn't take some time and effort but I really cant see the unironically "hire this man" posts point of view.
This literally looks like a template-village with sunset light with SOME custom Zelda assets and 90% of default UE5 assets.
Things like these, how people perceive "quality", "art" and overall taste are very confusing from time to time. You would assume there was baseline on how much effort it takes for cohesiveness, ability to have good silhouettes, etc and the impact-differences of good art direction.
Yet here we are.
I'm beginning to appreciate Halo Infinite flat shadows-lightning a bit more now, maybe it was as an artistic decision after all?
Whenever I start up BoTW, I think of a Stone Temple Pilots song
"
It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline"
So maybe there are good visuals hidden under the vaseline filter the game uses ?
environment looks decent, although not performant at all.
IMO theres too much grass as well, theres a few things on the ground he tries to show that look awful because you can hardly see it through the grass
If he actually did all that environment art and didn't find it on the unreal store, then yes its well done.
Everything that moves though is not great at all, I'm assuming the animations etc are just grabbed off the Unreal store, as they really suck lol
Also Navi looks worse than on the n64, which I guess is a bit of a nitpick, but someone has to show just some of the reasons why Nintendo will not "Hire this man"
Edit: Also yes lol, he seems to have left the FPS camera bob in there, surely Unreal has a default 3rd person camera option right? (Unreal is one I haven't used very much)

The Legend Of Zelda: Curse of the Drunk Camera Man. "WARNING: May cause nausea and/or vomiting during gameplay"
Also it's well done otherwise. By that I mean not as a Zelda game, just as a scene that's cool. It's waaaay harder than people think to make proper art style. I mean even Nintendo get's hated on in some of their Zelda games for the art style.
Twilight Princess does realistic graphics right, you need some art style direction not just slap on real textures
Some pretty harsh opinions on some fan that's made a little village in UE5 lol.
Does it have the art direction of a real Zelda game? No. But good on you for noticing that and pointing it out.

I watched this for about 3 seconds and the wobbly camera made me sick as shit. Fire this man and anyone who thinks wobbly cameras are a good idea.
Appreciate the effort here, but no fucking thanks. This doesn't retain anything Zelda at all. Also, that camera shake is awful.
Pretty impressive for a fan made demo.
Yeah sure it doesn't have the art direction and frame pacing... because it's a fan made demo.
But that is realistically the kind of visuals that are possible if Nintendo went in a high end x86 APU route like it's competitors. The hybrid mobile makes much more business sense, that level of detail is probably 10-15 years out with the limitations of mobile APUs and battery draw.

because it's like quixel megascans assets under default or slightly modified default lighting parameters. turns out, just because you have a Link model and Zelda town layout, it isn't enough to capture that zelda feel.
This is by no means flawless, but by far the best "HD" remake of anything Ocarina of Time that I've seen.
