Ocarina of Time HD textures
Harukai \| 7:36 PM on 07.18.2008	22 comments

Hey guys I was surfing around the net in a very Zelda mood deciding which Legend I was going to replay and I came across this amazing little comparison that some guys are doing.

It's simply put a project where they take the original textures from the greatest Zelda game with more detailed HD versions and made a little flash application where when you move your mouse over it shows you the difference.

I for one would love it nintendo would implement something like this, because at the moment I'm much happier playing the original Zeldas (apart from zelda 2) than I am playing through Twilight princess again and so keeping them the same but giving them a nice little HD finish would really make my day.

Heres the link so go enjoy it!

whoaaa. And I LOVE OoT.

Merry Ho

that is very nice, I would love a high def OoT as long as teh gameplay didn't change at all, cuz that game has a special place in my heart

Shalashaska161

Wow awesome! Too bad Nintendo hates HD. This type of update for their older games would be amazing.

covah

I'd welcome this so much. And the music on this website just reminded me how awesome OoT soundtrack was

pedrovay2003

HOLY SHIT.

This needs to become real. Now.

Arttemis

Damn, I want to download that and somehow update my ROM. Both the HD and Cel Shaded versions were interesting to see.
Now I'd like to play the game that way.

Arttemis

Oh, this is a real hack.

Currently looking, but it's been taken down from a lot of sites. Will post when I find it.

I dunno... It looked kinda weird with the crisp textures and the edgy enviroments. If Nintendo ever remake OoT (wich I hope they never waste time on doing), then they should remake the meshes for the models as well as update the textures.

RonBurgandy2010

OK, that's pretty fucking cool

ZanyIce

You can download the texture pack and play it with an emulator. I recommend the Cel shaded pack though, It looks much better than this one. Almost makes OoT look like Wind Waker.

I've tried playing OOT with the HD textures. I found it to be more distracting than anything else. They weren't made with any kind of thought towards color palettes and tone. It was definitely more detailed and sharper, but everything was duller and nothing really meshed too well. And certain things just looked crappy, most notably the hollowed log tunnel to get the Hyrule Field from the Kokiri Forest looked terrible.

Certainly the idea is neat. But it wasn't executed all that well.

SLiFE

Wowzers...

bet the Water Temple still sucks ass though.

RJG

I liked this article up until the point where you said you didn't like Zelda II. =(

RJG

You forgot to mention that you can left-click in the flash thing and get a different set of textures that make it look like Wind Waker.

mistic

lets hope nintendo picks up on this and does it better :-D

ReclusiveSpirit

Very cool. That looked better than a lot of stuff I've seen for the Wii. The music sure brought back some memories. It makes me sad to realize I'm not part of Nintendo's core customers any more...just sad.

Harukai

@ RJS I didn't know about the cel shaded textures! Gunna check that out now :D

And Zelda II was ok, I just didn't care for the change in gameplay. If it didn't have the Zelda trademark then I wouldn't have any problems with it.
