Summary
A fan-made Unreal Engine remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been cancelled by its developer ahead of Nintendo's official announcement of a remake for the Switch 2. The project, which had been in development for several years and showcased impressive visual upgrades to the classic 1998 game, was voluntarily shut down to avoid legal issues with Nintendo, which is known for aggressively protecting its intellectual property.

· 5 pulledI've decided to cancel the project out of respect for Nintendo's intellectual property and to avoid any potential legal complications.
Nintendo has always been protective of its franchises, and I don't want to put myself or the community at risk.
The official Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 is something I'm genuinely excited about, and I hope fans will support that instead.
This was a passion project born out of love for the original game, not an attempt to infringe on anyone's rights.
I want to thank the community for years of support and encouragement on this journey.
