After four days, enthusiasts brought emulation of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake almost to perfection

PC emulation of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake reached near-perfect quality just four days after release: the game runs at a high frame rate and with virtually no graphical issues.

It took modders just four days to adapt the main Switch 2 release for running on PC. On launch day, Ocarina of Time Remake was already running through an emulator, but players faced graphical glitches and poor animation smoothness. Now the situation has noticeably changed.

As demonstrated by ChillyWillMD, the Fritchii 5.5 emulator handles Zelda so well that it gives the impression of a full-fledged PC release. The creators added shader pre-compilation at startup to prevent stuttering during gameplay. Additionally, a 120-frames-per-second mode is now available thanks to the Smooth Motion feature in the NVIDIA App.

Enthusiasts are already attempting to enhance the remake’s graphics.

Simultaneously, the community is working on a full native port of Ocarina of Time Remake. The Hookshot project can already be launched, though for now it noticeably falls behind the Fritchii emulator in image quality and suffers from heavy aliasing.
