The Legend Of Zelda free Unreal Engine 4 remake available to download now

OneThe Legend of Zeldafan has been working on an incredible Unreal Engine 4 remake of the iconic NES game - and it’s available to download and enjoy now.

It’s been an incredible year forZeldafans. I think it’s fair to say thatTears of the Kingdomboth lived up to our expectationsand exceeded them. It’s a surefire GOTY contender, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’ll nab the title. This year has been stacked. I cannot believe how many games stand a chance at winning the top accolade. There’sBaldur’s Gate 3,Starfield,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2… I could go on. We have been spoiled. As incredible asTears of the Kingdomis though, let’s flash back to where it all began.

Take a look atTears of the Kingdomin action below.

The Legend of Zeldawas released all the way back in 1987 on the NES - and now, YouTuber Lloyd Empty has finished crafting a stunning Unreal Engine 4 remake. I say ‘finished’, but the game is in its beta phase so is constantly being overhauled. That being said, you can finallydownloadand enjoy the remake and it is a glorious blast from the past.

It’s already proved to be a hit with fellow fans. One YouTube viewer wrote, “I’ve always loved the original NES Zelda titles, so to see this feels really nice. I can tell how much work was put into this. It looks amazing,” while another added, “This is honestly a fantastic idea. Taking the idea of the first Zelda being this open ended ‘just go explore and figure it out on your own’ [game], and modernising that with some of the things introduced in later top-down Zelda titles, is a great idea for a remake! This looks awesome and I hope Nintendo does something like this one day.” Great work.
