The Legend of Zelda fans, here is something special for you today. YouTube’s ‘Kaze Emanuar’ has released a new romhack for the Nintendo 64 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that allows you to play this classic Zelda game in VR and with a first-person perspective.
Since this is a romhack, you can only play it via an emulator (Kaze Emanuar suggests using the Dolphin emulator). As such, these new custom VR and first-person perspective modes can only be experienced on the PC, something that shows why emulation is so important for older games.
Now while this is a really cool concept (and gamers can play the entire game in VR and FPS), it has some issues. For instance there are black bars and the backgrounds could have been better. Kaze Emanuar promises to release a better version in case there is interest for this VR project in which he will disable culling and will have improved backgrounds and 3D house scenes.
Still, and despite these issues, we are pretty sure that some Zelda fans will really appreciate this romhack as it will allow them to experience one of the best games in the franchise via a completely different way.
Those interested can download the romhack from here. After downloading, all you have to do is drag and drop this file into the dolphin VR Emulator window.
Kaze Emanuar has also released a video showing the new VR and first-person perspective for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, though it may make some of you dizzy (as most VR videos do when watching them in 2D mode).
Have fun!

first!
Do idiots still say ‘first’?
Yep, looks that way.
Do idiots still get tilted by my comments ?
Yep, looks that way.
Not tilted my friend, more just friendly advice so you can stop looking so cretinous in the future.
Good comeback though, how did you come up with that? Maybe you’re not as stupid as you first seemed?
Anyone that says first/fishes with it is definitely stupid. That’s why they never replied to you after shooting their little premature load of a comment comeback. Block clowns and move on next time.
Nope, the rest of us are just impressed that you still act like a little child by now. Keep the bar low for everybody else, bud. Makes us look good by comparison.
20fps in vr? /PUKE
